Matte Black Privacy Door Lever with Solid Brass Knurled Grip

I obtain, disassemble, analyze, and reassemble a lot of locks before posting reviews. Many China-sourced locks are garbage, but that is not the case with the privacy (bathroom and bedroom) lock reviewed here.

Yes, this lock is made in China, but it is well made of heavy, high-quality materials. It operates smoothly and has the feel of a premium lockset. The black portions (including the latch and striker plate) have a thick powder-coated finish that feels good and should stand up to the elements for years to come. I cannot determine if the handles are truly brass or heavy zinc material coated in a brass finish. Either way, they are handsome and feel expensive.

The box includes all fasteners and accessories to install the lock quickly and easily onto a door and casing that has appropriate cutouts. The latch is adjustable to fit both of the common North American backset standard dimensions. Terse but adequate instructions are included in case you need to install this lock into a door and casing lacking pre-drilled cutouts.

The locking mechanism itself is a push-pull design rather than the more common rotating latch design. This matches the design aesthetic of the lock and works quite well.

You can buy other black privacy locks on Amazon for fewer dollars, but they will have neither the quality of design nor the quality of materials of this lock. I rate this a good value.

This is such an easy little upgrade that can make your interior doors look WAY more expensive! The matte black backplate paired with the warm brass lever gives you that modern mixed-metal look without replacing the entire door. I especially love this if you're updating your home one small detail at a time.

This was supposed to be one simple door handle. Then my wife saw it installed and immediately started looking at the other doors. Anybody who's married knows exactly where this is heading.
The black plate with the brass handle looks really sharp in person, and the little knurled texture on the lever isn't just decoration - it actually gives your hand a nice grip. The handle feels solid when you push it down and doesn't have that loose rattling feeling cheap door hardware sometimes has. Installation is basically what you'd expect from a normal interior handle. My only complaint is that now apparently we have "ugly door handles" everywhere else in the house that nobody noticed yesterday.

I really like the combination of matte black and brass on this door lever. The two-tone finish gives it a modern look without being too flashy. The knurled grip adds a nice detail and makes the handle easy to hold. It feels comfortable when opening and closing the door. The handle has a solid weight to it and doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Installation was fairly easy and didn't take much time. I also liked that the lever can be installed for either left- or right-hand doors. The privacy lock works smoothly and is easy to operate. The matte black finish looks clean and matches well with other modern hardware. The brass accent adds just enough contrast to make the handle stand out. I installed it on an interior door and it fits the room nicely. The lever feels sturdy and stays firmly in place after installation. Overall, the design and quality are better than I expected. I'm happy with how it looks and would definitely consider using this style on other doors in my home.

The handle set arrived well packed in foam packaging within its own box. The set included all parts and hardware needed for installation.
This is a beautiful handle set, all metal, with knurled gold levers on a black backplate. The metal work is outstanding, no weird grinder marks anywhere and the color is excellent and consistent all over. The gold levers are heavy and contribute to a very solid feel when using the handle.
Installation was very easy and took less then 10 minutes. The gold levers use small Allen set screws (Allen wrench is included) to attach to the main body and one of mine was crossthreaded. Fortunately, I noticed it quickly because it was inserted at a steep angle and was able to reuse the screw. I do suggest to use threadlocker on these screws. The latch plate has rounded corners so no chisel needed for the mortise on the door edge.
Everything functions very smoothly and the door can be locked by pressing the lock button from the interior side. There is a hole on the exterior side that is opposite of the lock button and you can bypass the lock by inserting a paper clip or similar object to push the lock button outward. From the interior side, you can unlock by pulling the lock button out or by simply turning the handle.
This is a gorgeous handle set and highly recommended

Wow! I love the look and overall design of this door handle. The gold lever has a nice weight to it, and is substantial feeling, beautifully etched (which will help hide scratches), and a lovely shade of champagne color. I ordered this knob to help update and modernize a bathroom. I have never seen a door handle quite like this, and it makes an amazing impression. The knob was easy to install. The lock is easy to do with a push button. The door is easily opened by pushing down on the lever. I have used SNBTLA knobs in the past, and they have held up perfectly to daily use over a few years time. I will look to order more matching knobs to make an impactful statement in my home.

We ordered this privacy door lever specifically for my elderly mom's bathroom, and we couldn't be happier with it. We wanted something that would be easy for her to use while also being sturdy, reliable, and safe. This door handle checked all of those boxes.

Installation was very easy and straightforward, even for a DIY project. The adjustable latch is compatible with both 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets, which made it a great replacement for the existing hardware on a standard interior door. The reversible lever also works for both left- and right-handed doors, so there was no hassle trying to figure out which direction it needed to be installed. It fit our door well and feels very secure once installed.

The quality is what really impressed me. This handle feels extremely heavy-duty and substantial, not lightweight or cheaply made. The solid brass lever has a beautiful knurled texture that provides an excellent grip. This is especially important for my mom because she needs something that is comfortable and easy to hold onto. The textured surface gives her a secure grip without requiring a lot of effort, even when her hands are wet.

I also really appreciate the built-in privacy locking function. Since we installed this on a bathroom door, having a simple privacy lock is important, but the exterior emergency release is an especially nice safety feature for our family. If my mom ever needed assistance and the door was locked, we could quickly access the room from the outside.

The design is another big plus. The combination of the matte black and brushed brass finish, along with the modern square stepped rosette, gives the handle a much more luxurious appearance than a typical bathroom door lever. It looks stylish and high-end and would work well with modern farmhouse, minimalist, industrial, or more upscale interior d��cor.

The lever operates smoothly, feels very stable, and has a solid, premium feel every time it is used. The 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness compatibility also makes it versatile for standard interior doors.

Overall, this is an excellent door lever for anyone who wants a combination of safety, ease of use, durability, and attractive design. For us, it was particularly worthwhile because we were looking for something that would make it easier for my elderly mom to use her bathroom door while giving our family some extra peace of mind. It feels like a high-quality, heavy-duty product that should hold up well to everyday use, and the luxurious finish is an added bonus.

I love the look of this door handle. It looks very upscale and inviting - even if it's not your room!

I like the weight to the handles and the craftsmanship is great. The colors pair well together and the piece is very sturdy. Everything that you need to put the handset on the door is in the box. This set is crafted from Solid Brass Lever with precision Knurled Brass Handle texture, this Anti Slip Grip Door Handle. It has an adjustable latch compatible with both 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets, depending on what size door you have. I don't have anything bad to say about the set. I love it, Love it, Love it!

These door levers have a substantial, high-quality feel and a very polished appearance. The combination of matte black with brushed brass is especially attractive, giving them a modern architectural look without being overly flashy. The square stepped rosette is a nice detail and makes the finished installation look considerably more upscale than typical builder-grade hardware.

The solid brass lever makes these levers look expensive and really draws the eye. The knurled texture looks excellent and provides a genuinely useful grip, particularly for a bathroom where hands may be wet. Operation is smooth, the privacy lock feels secure, and I appreciate having the exterior emergency release as a practical safety feature.

Installation is straightforward, with an adjustable latch for the two common backsets and a reversible design that works on either left- or right-handed doors. Everything feels stable and well-made once installed.

Overall, this is an impressive upgrade for a bedroom, bathroom, office, or guest room. The combination of solid construction, excellent grip, smooth operation, and sophisticated black-and-brass styling gives these levers the look and feel of much more expensive designer hardware. I wanted these for my bathroom door as I have begun to feel arthritis despite avoiding all carbs. These are great for the elderly, but my dogs now can use them to bug me in the bath.

The price is great for its utility, durability and style.

These are such nice looking, modern door handles. I really like the matte black and brass combination because it gives the door a unique and updated appearance. The handles feel durable and well made, and they are comfortable and easy to use with the up and down motion to open the door. Installation was easy, and I like that they can be used for either left or right handed doors. They arrived quickly and were well packaged.,happy with the look and quality of these handles.

Those brass handles are truly beautiful. The combination of warm brass with the matte black hardware immediately gives this door lever a sophisticated, modern look. And that knurled texture on the handle? Such a great detail. It adds visual interest while also providing a practical, non-slip grip.

But don't assume this lever is all beauty and no substance.
It includes a privacy locking function, which makes it particularly well suited for bedrooms and bathrooms. In my case, my guest bathroom door was the lucky recipient, and just like that, an ordinary interior door received a fabulous upgrade.

I also appreciate the reversible design, which allows the handle to work with either left- or right-handed doors. That kind of flexibility makes choosing replacement hardware considerably easier.

What I really love is how something as simple as changing a door handle can transform the look of a room. Hardware may be a small detail, but the right hardware makes an impact.

Beautiful brass. Modern matte black. Privacy when required.
My guest bathroom door is apparently feeling very important now; and frankly, I don't blame it.
