SCHLAGEF170 FLA 619 RH Right Handed Flair Door Lever, One Sided Non-Turning Dummy Door Handle, Satin Nickel

Needed to upgrade a couple of builders door handles with privacy lock in my kids’ bedrooms. Went with the same brand for the nice look and this was the easiest, quickest install I ever did even with having to switch out one set of levers. This mama is happy with her purchase.

I have purchased many Door Knobs and Dead Bolts here in Florida, and SCHLAGE is the only Brand that will stand up to the Hot Humid conditions here in Florida, In Fact I have replaced all the Kwikset (JUNK) exterior and interior Locks and Knobs because they Tarnished so badly they were and Embarrassment, including the Exterior ones they replaced under warranty, this is after making me Jump through one Hoop after another to get them replaced under Warranty.

Easy to install

The oil-rubbed bronze finish is dark and classic. The Brookshire Rose rosette is elegant. We chose the Flair style scrolled handle. The Callington is also nice. It was tempting. But in the end, we chose the slightly thicker Flair style. The levers are solid and the latch is sturdy. We find that they wiggle a bit more than we expected, but this is not too bad.Reversing the handedness is a piece of cake. Incidentally, I installed half of my 30 levers backwards until I discovered from a dummy lever what I had done (dummy levers cannot be reversed). The lever should be installed (as depicted in the photo if I had bothered to look) with the curve looping up from the center and down and the outer end. This way, the user's down-turned palm fits smoothly at the peak of the curve to push down the lever.It does not make a difference, of course, which way one orients the lever. It works both ways. Thinking of a right-handed lever as the face of a clock, one can pull the lever from 3 o'clock to noon or from 3 o'clock to six. Either way retracts the latch as well. As for that the latch retracts fully with slightly less than 90 degrees turn and springs back to its extended state fairly quietly, even when allowed to snap back freely (guaranteed, the kids are not going to guide the lever gently back in place). This gives it the feel of a sturdy lever.I expected the lever to be more substantial, but for the price, I can't complain. The design of the lever makes it foolproof to install (well, unless you install it upside down as I did). The lever is guaranteed to be perpendicular to the edge of the door with both levers aligned to each other, perpendicular to the rosettes behind them. [One has to be more careful with the dummy version to align the rosette and lever as this has no interlocking part on the other side of the door].We use this passage lever to replace a Kwikset lever on our kitchen door. Compared to the Schlage, it was difficult to install and align, difficult to reverse handedness; it did not ever align with the strikeplate properly, and over a period of seven months had to be re-tightened several times and eventually the latch malfunctioned. In contrast, although this Schlage lever has only been in place for close to two months, it closes gently and perfectly (although installed in the exact same door and strikeplate position as the Kwikset. It is as tightly attached as the day we installed it. Only time will tell if the Aged Bronze finish stands up to the humid Florida weather.When we bought our house as a foreclosure, there were no interior doorknobs or levers. We searched and researched for several months to find just the right lever at a decent price (try explaining to guests why there is a circular hole in the bathroom door where the privacy knob should be). We wanted a lever that would convey both elegance and sturdiness. With our Schlage levers, we not only fulfilled that expectation, but got a quality functional mechanism that was very easy to install.

Repair corrected problem.

With Prime, I received the door handle in 2 days and had it installed in less than 5 minutes. Super easy, and gorgeous! We just bought this house and a couple days ago the previous door handle mechanism broke. I was looking for the same color door handle and it matched perfectly. This is a garage door that leads outside and the deadbolt lock is 22 years old with wear and faded. Honestly, I don't think it is the same antique brass color so please don't compare that color to the new door handle. We originally had the standard (round) design, but I'm so happy with the Camelot style that we are going to replace all our inside door handles with the same design and color! Once we replace an inside door, I'll update my review with the old/new pics. :)

These 'F' series locks & lock sets were once called Schlage's 'builder' series; a step up from other brands but still affordable enough to be attractive in a builder's budget. We're changing out all the locks & lock sets in our 29 year old 4 BDRM home. The Schladge products are a nice, but still affordable upgrade. We went with the 'Flair' style lever handsets with chrome in the baths & laundry and aged bronze every where else. They have a nice solid feel to them and look great.This particular item is a surface mount 'dummy' knob. We used them on linen closet doors with ball catches rather than a full lock set. They look like the real thing, but don't rotate. The ball catch is a separate product that is usually mounted in the top of the door with a strike in the top piece of door casing.Changing all the locks is a bigger job than you might think with mixed finishes, different styles of strikes, and hardest of all different diameters on the 'rosettes' where the lock set halves attach to each other or, in the case of a dummy knob, attach to the door surface. Our original locks had larger diameter rosettes than the new ones so we had to sand down each door and repaint to make the impression line from the larger rosette disappear. The wood entry door had to be refinished at a local shop to get the stain colors to match at the rosettes. It all looks great, though I've still got a couple of lock sets to go...

The polished chrome handles look worlds better than the old discolored brass Schlage handles that used to be on my closet doors. They are still high quality and feel great. The only thing that got me was the new handles use a backing plate inside that hits the molly bolts in the closet door causing them to not sit flush. The older flair handles were mostly hollow inside. I had to grind out the molly bolts and use long nuts and bolts all the way through the doors instead. Not something everyone will run into - only those that stripped out the original screw holes. Glad this style is still available.

My wife and I had the Satin Nickel Schlage F10FLA619 Flair Passage Lever installed on all inside doors on the main and upper floors of our home. My wife likes the look of the door lever so we installed the lever on all doors. The quality was good and had no issues.

Quality product, antique brass finish, easy to install.
