Works as described, but poor tolerances leaves some rattling

It's a door handle that locks. Installed 4 of these with almost no issue. Had to swap the handle direction on a couple and instructions didn't explain how, but with enough poking/prodding I was able to figure it out. A few extra lines on the instructions would go a long way for swapping the handle.Once installed they work as expected, but poor tolerances in the bolt/latch assembly means the door does not not sit stationary when closed. The bolt/latch moves laterally inside the latch assembly…

Pros
  • Pretty simple to install. I watch the video on How to do it. It helped a lot. Just follow the steps.
Cons
  • We’ll made but lock mechanism broke after a week

It's just okay in my review

The reason I'm not completely happy with this lock is it is uncomfortable to the touch. The edges are actually quite acute- not exactly sharp but not comfortable to the touch. On the upside, it is a sturdy handset and it looks nice.

Pros
  • Nothing to write in detail. It works as it supposed to. I like it.
Cons
  • The price point may be too high for those on a tight budget

Did not last but company took care of problem.

We liked the look and thought it would be great. We made plenty of keys and thought we were set. It is now 6 months later and it no longer works. First you could push the lever handle up or down and it would open. Then it would only open if lifted, then quit working so we could not get out. Took apart several times but no adjustments would make it work. Clearly Defective door handle. We had to run to a local store for a replacement. Contacted the seller and they immediately corrected the…

Pros
  • Perfect fit and finish
Cons
  • The lockset may not be durable enough to withstand extreme weather conditions

Handicap door lever

It’s a handicap door lever lever which is easy to open too bad it’s not easy for a handicap person to locked and unlock.Turn button is too small

Pros
  • Looks good lot better than most even better than Lowe's
Cons
  • The lever handle may not be large enough for those with bigger hands

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Handle was great at first, but 60 days in & the locking mechanism started getting stuck. First time it happened (a couple of nights ago), I used pliers to work it back & forth until it loosen up like new. Then tonight it did it again. I tried repeating the process I used before, to get it working again, except this time the lock button broke & fell off. Now to be clear, I wasn't squeezing on anything. I had a set of vice grips adjusted just a hair bigger than the button & slid it over it. They…

Pros
  • Good Product for the money
Cons
  • Very Made in China

Poor quality: my feedback

The edges of the handles are so sharp they feel like you might cut your hand when you open or close the door. Flimsy and low quality.Fine, if you dont plan to stress it in any way.Not for real people!

Pros
  • I bought seven for everydoor in my house!
Cons
  • Flimsy and low quality.Fine, if you dont plan to stress it in any way.Not for real people

Works well. in my review

Looked on you tube to see how to reverse handles. So that is what that little wrench is for!Have 2 of them installed. Work better than round handles. Closes better too.

Pros
  • Solid handle
Cons
  • The screws provided with the lockset may be too short or too long for the door frame

Get what you paid for

I concur with some of the other reviews regarding the "sharpness" of the handles. I think some are overstated, but it is not a pleasant feel. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it does indicate a real lack of design understanding. Other than that it was easy to install and works fine. I know it's not top of the line, but adequate for my needs.

Pros
  • Great door handle for disabled people.
Cons
  • The bore thing that goes into the door was clearly used!

Beautiful finish! Easy to install!

Buy this beautifully finished lever handle to replace those cheapo pot metal "builders grade" privacy handles in your home. This quality lever handle operates smoothly, quietly, and feels great in your hand. The finish is flawless and is a true satin nickle. It's a noticeable, elegant upgrade from a blah basic handle!

Pros
  • Worked
Cons
  • The satin nickel finish may tarnish and lose its shine over time

Not what I expected.

Personally I thought this was a security lock with a key. After installing it I realized the locking mechanism can be opened with a mere butter knife. It's a good product easily installed if that's what you're looking for.

Pros
  • It took a little bit of adjustment to get it latch correctly but no big deal.
Cons
  • Edges of the handles are sharp, making them very uncomfortable to grip.
