SCHLAGE FC21 ALX 716 ALD Custom Alexandria Glass Knob with Alden Trim Hall-Closet and Bed-Bath Lock in Aged Bronze

Glass knobs can be on the very expensive side. I was happily surprised to see this knob offered at a more reasonable price but was skeptical of the quality and look. I am totally pleased with the product. It looks good (not great) and it was very easy to install. Delivery was very fast. Overall, very happy with my purchase.

I bought a dozen of these schlage Custom FC21 ALX 716 CAM Alexandria Glass Knobs with Camelot Trim and I'm so happy with them I was compelled to put a review here. We wanted glass ornate knobs and when I saw these Schlage's online, I sought out to find user submitted photos and didn't find any on this new schlage model so I shot several photos of my install to post up and comment for others. Very straightforward installation, Quality Hardware in every respect, nothing sloppy or cheap-looking. I was concerned the ornate trim covers may not stay on since they only snap in place however they go on with a loud firm snap with no chance of being loose or coming off mistakenly. They provide an optional metal push pin, if you desire to make it a locking Passage knob, which installs with a solid indent with no concern of falling back out. Simply push the pin in to lock the door and then turn the knob to unlock it. The trim covers can be installed so the Locking pin is in the 12:00 position on the trim or you can rotate it 180 degrees and install the cover so the pin is in the six oclock position, below the door knob... a nice option for personal preference of where you want the locking pin located. The Aged bronze is a flat black color, feels like a durable scratch-resistant finish with a copper bronze rubbed through color showing through on the edges and shoulders of the trim's design. Nothing cheesy looking about the glass knobs, they are solid and heavy with no casting seams - very smooth and comfortable in the hand. I had two issues which were not related to the product but I mention here so others might avoid. On one metal hollow-core door to a garage, I over tightened the hardware and actually compressed the metal door thickness around the hole that's drilled to accommodate the knob. It was easy to over tighten with this wimpy hollow insulated door, so this made installing the trim a frustrating affair, because the trim is dependent on having a flat surface in order for the Snap-on design to work. However that was my screw up. The only other issue I had which was not hardware-related, I had a door that did not have a 1 inch diameter hole to accommodate the latch, I guess some older doors are a smaller diameter. I had to drill it out which was no big deal for me but would certainly be a mess if you're not prepared to do it. Overall, very pleased. Not cheap, but I certainly feel like I got what I paid for! ps; The one in the photos is a lockable passage type but since it's a pantry door, I opted not to install the locking push pin.... fyi.

Fantastic product & highly recommend the deals on Amazon Warehouse. I got great value and a perfect product. These door knobs really pick up my apartment!

We have a 1926 house but some of the original glass doorknobs had been replaced with cheap-o knobs many years ago. We wanted to make the house look more uniform, and these doorknobs are perfect. They feel really sturdy and high quality. It's very, very satisfying just turning the knob and feeling it spring back to center over and over. The operation is really very smooth. The knobs come with a little tool so you can pop open the lock if a child locks the door by accident, for example. We keep this little gizmo (looks like a specially shaped paperclip) outside the doors, nearby, just in case. And we've had to use already! It's a nice touch to include the "unlock from the outside" tool. If you have an old house be prepared that you might have to re-size the doorknob hole and also the latch area to retro fit these. We had to do that on 2 of the 3 doors but in all fairness the doors were an unusual size. The knobs come with the proper latch plate and you should definitely install this on the doorframe. The knobs work best with these. To retro fit the old doors we just used a file, sandpaper, and some elbow grease. Once installed, these are so handsome. They really dress up the rooms we put these in and they keep to the vintage look of our house! There is a very subtle but visible starburst pattern inside the glass right in the middle that I didn't notice when I initially purchased these. It's a really elegant touch that makes these knobs look so lovely. FYI, we saw these originally in a big box store and they were noted as "online only" so we were delighted to find them on Amazon. These really are lovely, solid, and elegant. We are delighted with them!

Love these unusual and super pretty handles for an interior french door. Arrived as described and on time. There's an extra piece that's kind of hidden in the bottom of the box. You have to dig for it a little
