Review on πŸ”‘ Schlage FE285 CAM 619 GEO Camelot Front Entry Handleset with Georgian Knob Lower Half Grip: Sleek Satin Nickel Design for Enhanced Home Security by Matt Norwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful and functional

I saw this handle in kit form at Home Depot and was immediately hooked. However, I wanted a digital key latch and ended up having to order from Revain to get exactly what I wanted. The latch is Schlage BE365 CAM 609 Camelot Keypad Deadbolt, antique brass. The antique brass finish on this lock is not available on all Schlage products which is a shame as I find it to be one of their more attractive finishes, especially when paired with a wood grain door. I installed this on a newly installed pre-assembled curtain wall. Door. The curtain door was cut out and I adjusted the jamb a bit to allow the locking mechanism to work smoothly. The directions and frame clipping were of good quality. I had a small moment where I didn't quite understand the template markings provided: the bottom door hole markings on the template are actually adjustable, and the mounting screw in the doorknob can be slid up and down about 3/4 inch to accommodate them. all properties of the doors. I drilled a stop at the top mark first, which I guessed after looking at the doorknob opposite my door. After drilling, it turned out that I wasn't myself, which I didn't understand. It was disabled because the slide bolt on the underside of the handle was moving. Long story short, with my door I could drill through the top or bottom of that bottom pattern mark and anywhere in between. This door knob has no lock and you need a deadbolt to lock the door. Also, the push handle comes in left and right door options: be sure to check which one you need before ordering so the inside handle doesn't face the wrong way! There is also a similar Camelot model that is equipped with an inside door handle instead of a lever.

Pros
  • UNIVERSAL HANDLE: Fits right or left hand doors
Cons
  • Slightly torn
