Kwikset 97300-730 730TNL 11P 6AL Tustin Lever Privacy Lockset - Venetian Bronze Review

This is exactly what you need to replace a broken identical set of door handles. I didn't give it five stars only because it took over a month to receive the item and I had to reorder it when it didn't arrive.

Really nice looking and easy to install (even for me, an elderly lady!) as my existing doors fit. They look 1000% better than the old round brass buttons. And the price is very reasonable (and better than Lowes).

Gives your door a modern yet elegant look. The bronze paint rubbed with oil looks beautiful. I painted it here on an unfinished knotty pine door. The effect is smooth and it was easy to install. I decided to arrange them in this color throughout the house.

Our previous home had a Kwickset. We moved into a house that only had regular doorknobs. We were spoiled for lever handles and decided to redo the whole house with new handles. nice update if you ask me. We also decided to replace the front door handle with a thumb latch handle with latch. I was very pleased with the ease of changing keys on all doors with the SmartKey system.

I have replaced all the ugly brass doorknobs in the house with these levers to give them a modern look and they have made a world of difference to our house. What I didn't expect is that they are much smoother, quieter and more reliable than the knobs they replaced. Now a year and a half later and they were perfect. Installation was easy and I got through pretty quickly and was able to replace the handle in about five minutes. Where the old knobs wobbled and made noises, clicks and squeaks…
