Berlin Modisch Entry Lever Door Handle Lock and Key Sleek Round Locking Lever Set [for Front Door or Office] Reversible for Right & Left Sided Doors Heavy Duty – Iron Black Finish

Love the style, the price and quality of the door handle. So have decide to replace all the door in our house with. Great style and way cheaper then other established brands

I’m really happy with these dummy handles. Paint finish is very nice, no imperfections. They’re sturdy and have some weight to them. The holes lined up almost perfect with the tacky 90’s brass ones they replaced. I’m glad to see some more high quality products and not another Chinese brand X or Brand name (made in China) product. I’m buying another set.

I’m a retired locksmith and ordered these for my own home. Remarkable quality for the price and easy mounting. One thing that drives me crazy about some lever handles is the set screw that secures them to the spindle often allow the handles to get loose and even pull off after awhile. The way this lock is designed is really ideal and I can’t see the handles ever coming loose. I bought one set to examine and install as a test first, then once satisfied bought enough for the entire house. Instructions are somewhat lacking in detail but anyone with basic mechanical abilities should not have a problem.

Nice solid and heavy handle. Once installed it looks good and feels good in the hand. Latch mechanism moves smoothly, doesn't jam.Pictoral instructions that are more or less useless. They don't say what to do with a stamped centering plate- it goes on the outside or high use side, with the raised portion facing into the door. They don't say how the privacy lock works - push it on the inside to lock, turn the inside lever to unlock. And since most people will be replacing an existing handle, it would be nice to show some of the many thing that might be required to instal where the old handle was.I happen to be installing some "Designer Impressions" brand satin nickel lever handles from "Cabinet Hardware 4 Less" that I also bought here on Amazon. $7 less and very clearly made in the same factory, with the same castings, same internal mechanism, same centering piece, same privacy lock mechanism. At least the DI handle says made in China, while the Berlin Modisch says nothing about the factory location.Like the DI handle, the strike plate hole is round, with a flat on one side. The strike plates I was replacing had a D-shaped opening, so they were much more tolerant of the height of the door. I've spent quite a bit of time dealing with doors that didn't latch because the strike plate wasn't at the right height for these new handles.Like the DI handle, the installation information is poor. If you are drilling a slab to install these, then you really don't care about the docs as you have the tools and knowledge to do what you need to do. Neither tell you what to do with the centering plate.The DI handles include both squared and rounded corner strike plate and latch plates. In my house, half the doors use square and half use rounded, so I really like that I can select which is appropriate for the situation at hand. The Berlin Modisch handles include only the square cornered plates, so extra chisel work for you if the existing door has rounded corner plates.The setscrew for the handle is on the outside of the BM handles but on the inside for the DI handles. The inside is a much better location as you don't see it then.I only got the BM handle because it matched a Kwikset handle I already had and I couldn't get the privacy version of the Kwikset. Otherwise, you are much better off in all regards to get the DI handle for less.

Feels heavy duty, works well

I bought a deadbolt and handle set for my front door and for a closet door which I store some music equipment in. I also bought a passage handle for my bathroom. Now all handles in my small apartment match. They look great BUT the front door deadbolt after being professionally installed was problematic within days. It became sticky and then the key would offer no resistance and would easily turn too far, then it would spin without engaging. I could go on for a while about how it did so many weird things. I got home from work one day and just as feared the key was just free spinning. After about 10 minutes of twisting, and pushing, and wiggling I got the deadbolt to operate and got into my house. I was able to lock the door with just the handle which is not the level of security I need. I contacted the manufacturer through Amazon. I didn't get a response after 4 days so I tried again. Still to this day I have not heard back from them. The funny thing is that the customer service CONTACT US Page shows I smiling guy basically saying " it is my life purpose to solve your problem with our product." NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT ALL. Because I have all matching units in my house I decided to get another one. I figured that got a lemon and the next one will probably be good. Well, after about 4 days the replacement is starting to behave the same way. It is getting worse by the day. If this was a different kind of product I would just return it and be done with it but this product is supposed to secure my house and it takes effort to keep replacing them. I bought a different set at the hardware store and will be installing it when I'm done typing. I assure you that I am not a competitor trying to take business from this company. I have never been so unsatisfied or wasted so much time on a product like this. DO NOT BUY THIS. I warned you.

This was as promised. Very solid, very easy to install. I think the few reviews here that refer to problems occurring have to do with impression of the doors now than anything else. I had these problems too, but losening the bolts that hold the latch plate (side of door, not strike) in place by just a little bit allows the latch to fully open again.It's clearly manufactured to tight tolerances and I guess it expects as much of the door itself.
