Schlage F40 MER 622 Merano Door Lever - Bed & Bath Privacy Lock in Matte Black - Perfect for Bedrooms, Bathrooms & Interior Doors

I got an Ultraloq automatic/keypad deadbolt for my front door, so I wanted to replace the locking knob with a passage handle so I couldn't accidentally lock myself out. I knew I wanted a lever style, and singing that wouldn't seem out of place below clean, simple, rounded-square shape matte black keypad, but I also didn't want a super modern looking straight rectangle. This handle is the perfect blend of sleek with a hint of character, feels nice and solid, and was impressively easy to install. I've installed a few different door handles from various brands in the least few months and was honestly not expecting to notice a difference in quality, since they were all in the same price range, but you can absolutely tell Schlage knows what they're doing - the pieces fit together perfectly, the screw placement is well-considered so the handle isn't in the way, and the screws caught their threads more easily than on other brands, so I got this one installed in probably half the time it had just taken me to just remove the one I'd tried previously (let alone installing that one)! I'll sticking with Schlage from now on.
