bought to replace one almost identical in a bedroom door that no longer worked. It works perfectly and I needed minimal effort to fit it into the existing holes. Works great and is beautiful! The lock works smoothly and the key is neat.

If you need to reverse the latch be careful, I was careful but this thing can fly apart so fast springs everywhere. Thank God they put a diagram of it in the package..

This door handle is a perfect replacement for my old one. The installation was seamless, and the handle fit the existing door perfectly. The locking mechanism feels robust and secure. I am very pleased with the quality and functionality of this new hardware. It's a definite upgrade.

This is very easy to install if you know what you're doing. My old screw holes didn't line up and the cover plates didn't sit in the same position as the old locks. Filled the old holes and made new. Looks great and operates very smooth. If yours catch or feel a little tight then unscrew the handle a 1/4 turn at a time until if feels right. My house was built in 1884. I have no idea how old the locks I had were so of course these aren't going to be the exact same, but they are really close. They definitely look like they belong.

Terrible locks. I replaced all the original mortise lock sets in my old house because these looked so nice. They do look nice, but the knob is not stable, does not turn well. More than once I was unable to get the door open - once wit my granddaughter locked inside the room! I wish I realized ow bad they were sooner. It's too late to return and I bought 11 of them. I guess you get what you pay for. Most mortise lock sets cost a lot more. There is a reason for that.

Excellent to replace our old door knobs, but after less than a year use, the door knob latch (not the lock part) will get stuck where you can barely turn it to open - our kid got stuck in a room for 30 minutes while I had to take doorknob off and try to pick the hardware to release the latch.

This is a great product. Reasonably priced. A perfect replacement for those old lock sets. They are reversible. So they'll work on any swing. They do Mount about 3/16 of an inch higher than the originals. So you may be required to paint the bare wood that shows on the bottom. Other than that I'm very happy with them.

This door knob with lock matched exactly the one I had which was at least 60 years old, so there wasn't much to do except take the old one out and install this one. The only problem I had was that the mechanism was a bit stiff, but after a little lubrication it now works perfectly. Very happy with my purchase and also with the supplier's fast despatch; thankyou.

Debido a que la casa es antigua, no hay muchos establecimientos donde se encuentren este tipo de cerraduras, quedo instalada muy bien, solo un par de orificios a la puerta y contrapuerta para su instalacion, pero quedaron ocultos. Muy buena ccompra, y se ve elegante, old fashion. Voy a comprar el resto de las cerraduras para las puertas remanentes de la casa

Installed easily in a door with a similar style of handle. Looks great, functions great. Was installed on a bathroom door and the clients were more than impressed with it and it's quality. Not as solid as an old unit, but definitely a suitable replacement.

J'ai de vieilles portes avec des trous de l'ancien temps ! Mon entourage m'avait dit que c'était impossible de trouver une poignée avec mécanisme qui pourrait être compatible et que je devrais modifier la porte. Le kit est juste parfait et est compatible à 100%. J'en ai même acheté 3 par la suite. Seul bémol, je ne sais pas si c'est ma faute au montage, la pognée est trop serrée au moment de l'ouverture de porte. Peut-être que je devrais la démonter puis monter... mais je recommande fortement.

Bought three and two have no issues. Installed the third and the first time someone used it in the toilet they got locked in, had to cut lock to get them out..
