Review on NEWBANG Keyed Entry Knob Lock In Venetian Bronze For Exterior Door 5763-ORB-ET-1P-1 by Jerry Peebler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pricey; get some help when installing; locks nicely & vintage look

The black vintage knob with lock is very pretty and once you get everything to line up correctly it locks wonderful, the directions are not very detailed but this is a simple job & also the first time I’ve changed a door knob; one issue I had is once I got both knobs in the door it was hard to see and get the white plastic lock piece to line up with the other lock piece on the other knob because it moves very easily so it helps if you hold the part of the knob that moves when locked and unlocked to keep it in its place and centered because when I started to put in the final strews for some reason it kept un latching and I figured out it was moving. So it might would help if someone could hold the knob in place and probably that certain part of the knob when putting them together.It does scratch easy because of the vintage look so be careful. The good thing is it’s not that noticeable if there’s a scratch because it’s kind of gives it a distressed look. I scratched the back part with the strew-driver on accident.Overall once you get everything lined up and strewed in place, it does the job and locks nicely, so have some patience when installing and for the price I don’t think it should have been so hard to match up both knobs but again this for my first time doing this. Probably wouldn’t order another one only for that reason and maybe helpful to have someone to help but if your like me and want things done immediately but also correctly than that this into consideration. It just took some extra time for one person.

Pros
  • Work great fit no problem
Cons
  • The Venetian Bronze finish may not match the other hardware on your exterior door, creating an eyesore
