SCHLAGE Century Single Cylinder Handleset and Latitude Lever, Satin Chrome (F60 CEN 626 LAT)

Schlage has the best customer service.

Handle set is great quality and easy to install. I purchased my house with a door that was original, from 1972. The knob of course was also original, which meant the door knob bore hole was only 3/4” in width. As most know, the common size of a bore hole is 1 1/2” to 2 1/8” so I had to come up with a solution to bridge the gap between the deadbolt and the door knob which were set approximately 15” apart. Luckily, I was able to find a handle set that would not only look great, but would suffice in working with a preexisting small bore hole.About the handle & lock:Make sure when installing the deadbolt to turn the lock slightly as to not scratch the metal with the screwdriver. Prior to fully tightening the lock and handle use a level to make sure the two plates, both exterior and interior, are aligned and squared up. It’s a simple step but really makes a difference when done.For those that only have to create the bottom bore hole: Do not over think the distance between the top handle bore hole and bottom handle bore hole as the post for the bottom adjusts 1 1/2”. The post slides up and down to appropriately account for adjustments needed in length. The most important thing to note is the bottom bore hole needs to be directly under the handle bore hole to the ensure a symmetrical line.For those who need to drill out the lock and/or handle bore holes:I researched extensively online prior to taking on this task as I knew I would need to drill into a solid oak door. I found many videos and helpful tutorials online but nothing was remotely as helpful as using the Ryobi door install kit. This tool is amazing, and guarantees perfectly aligned bore holes. It’s roughly $21 and ensures you would won’t end up with a ruined door and out $500+.I highly recommend this handle set.

Love the modern style, but not happy with the durability of the exterior handleset. It has always appeared dingy since first installing. Just after the last rain storm, water had bubbled underneath the clear coat of the deadbolt lock and caused the finish to yellow and flake off. This is within less than a year of typical New England weather. Much disappoint.

I like the look of handleset, it's kinda large, my husband was having a difficult time with the previous door handle because he has pretty large hands especially when he's wearing his work gloves. I replaced the hardware myself (77 year old female) so I didn't struggle too much. Works great.

Nothing more frustrating than throwing away the old lockset and when installing this one, it's missing the screws, plates and manual. I can figure out how, but without the screws and plates, forget it. And this at 9 last night with nowhere to find any replacements. Call the company (Schlage)? Closed on weekends. Frustrating. Couldn't lock up.*******************update*********************I got ahold of Schlage and this is what happened over a few months. First time they sent a part I already had. Explained and included photo of what I was missing. Second time I was sent the deadbolt screws, not the inside portion of the deadbolt I was missing. Third time again, including photo, was sent a strike plate with screws. Still no inside deadbolt. You win schlage.....I give up.

Very sturdy and elegant front door handle set! It was easy to install and you can’t beat this company’s customer service!

Deadbolt was not able to be installed. The bolts provided were not recessed and when installed did not allow the latch to move.I emailed Schlage with no response. I called them and waited on the phone for 30 min with no one answering.Bottom line.... If there was a problem, yo, they don't solve it.UPDATE: Changed from 1 star to 3 stars. Schlage was not able to replace the bolts, however, they sent a new deadbolt package. Customer service was slow but they came through resolving the issue. Product looks fantastic and if you can get the correct hardware, it funtions as designed.

This item looks great on our front door and works smoothly without any hitches. Installs easily.

Bought this lockset in 2020 and installed it for just over a year when the deadbolt became faulty and the lock actually separated from the cylinder with the key inside. I contacted Amazon customer service who would only accept the return after deducting a "restocking fee" = $40 less than I paid for the product. There was no warranty available on the product as per the customer service representative I spoke to. Left me scrambling to purchase a new lock ASAP in order to secure my door. Buyer beware purchasing products like this from Amazon - they do not stand behind the product if faulty and may leave you with little options in a pinch to keep your door secure.

Good product. Does what it says it will do. Easy to change with existing deadbolts.

Looks great and seems well made.

In the description it says up to 2 1/4” thick door, however this is wrong, it fits a max of 1 3/4”.The quality looks good, although I never installed and returned the item.

Very impressed with quality of product and ease of installation. Used to replace existing handle and deadbolt. Aesthetically impressive with it’s clean lines and simplicity. Found Schlage’s video on their website very helpful but detail is lacking in some areas. Therefore, use written instructions to complement video to show how some parts adjust to existing drill holes to enhance effectiveness. Key: ensure measurements are accurate to avoid drilling new holes.I do (did) not have any experience with such things, but with watching the video a couple of times prior to attempting replacement and stopping and starting video throughout installation (slow learner) and observations of an astute friend (built in adjustments within the unit such as length of deadbolt) it was a rewarding undertaking. If I can do it, you most certainly can!
