Review on πŸ”’ Schlage F40 BWE 622 Bowery Privacy Lock, Matte Black - Door Knob for Bed & Bath by Chad Rosier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gorgeous, beautifully made but an absolute pain to install!

later I love this door knob. It looks great, feels great when you turn the knob, and the finish is superb. However, it's a real pain to install. Here's what you get when you order them: This is the only screwdriver I've found that fits in the tiny space so you can tighten the screws that attach the handle assembly to the door: https://www. amazon.com/gp/product/B07GNPRRVZ / ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's not easy with that either! I have a few other minor complaints: (1) Some kits came with a replaceable snap-on square insert, others just had a rounded insert with no replacement insert installed. (2) The rounded plate is very difficult to remove. I've watched countless videos of this, but unfortunately the only thing that worked was brute force, which bent the bottom plate so much I had to take it off and hit it with a hammer to flatten it out. Anyway, I love the look of these doorknobs. Time will tell how they hold up with constant use, but I reckon they'll be great.
