Beautiful and heavy substantial quality look!!!!!
These handles are amazing!I shopped every satin nickel contemporary handle available, but I was on a budget, and the ones I could afford felt cheap and light; they didn’t even feel like metal.These are heavy, they look and feel expensive and similar to a commercial grade. I love the modern, minimal design.The only hitch I have with them, is that I have “european’ handles on my doors, that I bought in London and they require small holes in the doors (about 5/8′)…not like the American ones, that require a standard larger hole.So, they call these handles “Euro” ; I thought that meant they might be for European fitting…I took the chance.I tried to read the reviews, but nothing about this was mentioned…So, the bad news is, I am forced to return them because they don’t fit my weird doors. But they will work for you, with standard American doors and you should not hesitate to order them.They are 10X nicer than anything you will find for this price.I do wish they had them in a true lockable version so I could have used them on my exterior doors… I couldn’t find them in that version.

I love it, and provide additional instructions below.
I was somewhat reluctant to purchase this based on some of the reviews. I was prepared though, and took my time studying the diagram before I started prying things apart. Once I figure it out, it was a breeze. The instructions could be a little more clear, but really, the information is all in there. Please excuse the off color in one of the pictures, the picture with the green background shows the correct color of the handle, the handle color is totally off in the picture with the blue background.So, this is what I did:1. I pried away the cover by putting a small screw driver in the notch between the outer cover, and the interior rose. Especially for the inside door handle this was a tight fit, but I got it off in about 3 minutes. This is designed so that the outer cover hides the installation screws, giving the door handle a very polished, modern look.2. Then, with the allen key, I removed the small screw on the side of the door handle, so I could reverse the orientation of the handle. This is also necessary to screw the interior rose in. 1 minute.3. Because I had to change the orientation of the handle, I repeated this process on the outside handle as well. This cover came off in about 30 seconds, reversing the handle too about 2 minutes.4. I then installed the latch with the screws, put the exterior handle through and used a laser level to ensure the handle was level (it would bother me ’till the end of time if it wasn’t level). Another 3 minutes or so.5. Then I installed the interior rose by screwing it into the exterior handle with the supplied screws. I made sure to test the lock at this point, by pushing in the lock, and verifying that it locked properly. ~ 3 more minutes.6. Then, I re-installed the interior handle with the small screw and the supplied allen key. 1 minute.The end-result: a beautiful, modern-looking handle installed in less then 15 minutes. I love it!

DO NOT BUY THESE. TRUST ME, manufacture defect
These look good and are good quality BUT like another review said, you have to take this outer cover off and it’s not supposed to come off. The manufacturer notched the covers and they are almost impossible to take off. There is no way they were supposed to be designed like this.You can take 20+ min of prying these with a screwdriver, scratching them, making the finish flake off, etc to get the cover off or just don’t buy them.

These door handles are amazing. They look great
These door handles are amazing. They look great, they are easy to install, and they are a great value. I replaced ever door handle in my house with these and I get so many “Wow’s” from guests. Who would have thought a door handle would get a “wow”?Some reviewers have said that they don’t install level. Technically this is true. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, you need to level it off before putting the handle on. The first one took me about 30 minutes because I couldn’t figure this out, but once I got it, the rest of the handles took about 5 mins each to install.

These look GREAT but are not the high quality knobs you will …
These look GREAT but are not the high quality knobs you will find at speciality stores. They look great but are a bit flimsy and the lock isn’t as SOLID when you push it in. For the price though, can’t beat it.

Look great and feel sturdy
Having never heard of the brand, I was considering going with a name brand for $15 or so more per door. Having received and install them (7x), I’m very happy with the purchase and glad I didn’t waste the extra money.The only tricky part is getting off the cap that covers the tightening screws. It’s not that hard, but once you realize the design means you don’t have to look at exposed screws, it’s worth the effort.Make sure you install with a level. There’s a groove on the back of the lock mechanism that lets you put a screwdriver through to broadly level the assemble, then minor adjustments can be made simply by applying pressure (up or down) when tightening the main bolts.Very pleased.

After 5 years these stopped locking, show signs of wear
Overall these held up well. They look good and the parts are well made. Unfortunately I have a cat who thinks it his job to open every door in the house. When a door is locked the cat will keep pawing at the handle. After several years of this all 3 door handles like this eventually stopped locking. The finish on one of the handles also wore off, though not on the side of the handle that the cat would paw at. I can’t really recommend this handle if you have a lot of traffic or kids who might be tempted to keep trying the lock, or a cat like ours. However, for normal households this seems like a reasonably good value.

A little pricey due to being black, but looks very modern. Would recommend this brand, but be warned, you must use a plate mount on the door latch, straight cylinder is not an option.
