Schlage F10 GEO 609 Georgian Door Knob, Hall & Closet Passage Lock, Antique Brass

I was looking for a match to our Schlage doorknobs we purchased a year or so ago and was pleased to find these on Amazon. I bought several, both bedroom/bath and closet styles. Although I was worried I was matching the right color based on the picture in the description, they were a perfect match. I’ve never replaced a doorknob before but these were easy to DIY. I just had to pop off the piece of the plate I didn’t need based on our doors (I’m sure that’s not what the piece is actually called) but it was easy to do and they installed/fit great. Good quality and now all my doorknobs match!

Built to last! A quality door handle!

These are beautiful and an easy replacement…provided your latch cutout is the same depth as what’s being replaced. If not, a good very sharp chisel will correct that. I replaced 3 bedroom knobs and a bathroom in a couple of hours.

Excellent product; I have replaced all my old cheap “contractors” doorknobs with these Schlage doorknobs. Definitely an improvement for a reasonable price. Each one took only 15 minutes to install.

Our house was built over 20 years ago and the door fixtures were starting to show their age. The original knobs were Kwikset and over the years they developed a lot of play in the knob. I was also looking to get away from the polished brass and go with something a little more subdued. I decided to go with Schlage since we did have a couple of Schlage knobs in our basement remodel and they seemed better built than the Kwikset knobs on the rest of the house. The knobs are a lot more solid than the Kwikset knobs. I even weighed them to compare and the 23 year old Kwikset knob was around 9 ounces, and the Schlage knob was over 12 ounces. However, I did end up replacing the basement knobs (so the finish would match), and the 8 year old Schlage knobs were over 14 ounces. The weight definitely make the knob feel much more solid in hand and the turn is also very positive. The antique brass finish looks great, but it feels almost like a plastic coating on the knob. We'll see how well that will hold up over the years. I do have a couple of minor gripes that kept this from a 5 star rating. The strike plate that attaches to the jamb were slightly different than the old Kwikset strike plates. The Kwikset strike plates had a bigger opening and were more forgiving to where the latch would like up when it's shut. Most of our doors were mating up at the extreme bottom of the strike plate. So now with a new smaller strike plate this was causing a problem with a lot of our doors latching properly. Some doors I could make some adjustments to the hinges to make sure they were cinched up as far as possible. That worked for some doors. Other doors, I had to break out the Dremel and shave out a little bit on the strike plate to make a bigger opening. I figured this was better than moving the strike plate down which would then leave a noticeable gap on the jamb. All the doors close properly now, but it's also the dead of winter with very low humidity in the house. I may need to make more adjustments when summer humidity returns which can affect the wooden doors and how they're hung. My other (minor) gripe is the latch plate. The old Kwikset latch plate was rectangular and the new Schlage latch plate has rounded corners. It isn't a huge issue, but I now have an unsightly gap in each corner. I'm going to try some wood putty to see if I can cover it up, but I just wished that is was standardized so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble. Overall, I like the knobs. Even with adjusting the hinges and the strike plate modification the installation went quick. I installed 16 knobs in an afternoon. They are a lot more solid than the old knobs, and the finish is a lot better than what we originally had. One other note, I found the knobs for sale at about the same price at our chain big box stores in plastic blister packs. Amazon / Schlage ships these knobs in compact cardboard boxes which I liked better than dealing with all those plastic packs.

Perfect replacement for old hardware. Nice.

It’s nice

Installed it on a new closet door. Looks and works fine.

I needed a non-locking doorknob for an outside door that already has a deadbolt lock. This will be behind a screen door, so I don't expect too much weather damage. Looks great!

Easy to install. Looks nice. Need third , likely buy soon.

Perfect item, much better quality than those I had before.
