Review on StartFine T Handle Screws Playhouse Chicken Hardware by Lequon Kaneshiro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reasonable price

Not much to say about this, it's a simple handle design. Others have mentioned exposing the screw heads, although depending on your installation you can at least adjust them so that the screw heads line up directly with the handle when the door is closed/locked. I don't think this will really stop anyone from removing the screws, and the screws that come with it barely hold if someone manages to get them out and can easily be ripped out that way. This is negated by using longer screws. And if you're relying on an internal latch to keep someone from loosening and prying out the screws, well. It's a very small set screw that won't hold up in any way if someone pulls on the handle, it just isn't strong enough to be tightened. Use longer screws and put something on the inside of the handle if possible. Adjust the screw to mark the stem where you want it, and use a drill to drill a hole in the stem just enough to hold the set screw tighter and you'll be fine. It won't stop anyone who really wants to get in, but other than that it serves as a decent basic doorknob and should hold up well to regular use.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Zero
