Schlage in My Home | $500 Giveaway

One of the first things that we did when we moved into our house was change the exterior locks. We were given about 50 keys at closing – we couldn’t figure out what went to what and and the locks were in such bad condition – we could barely open door. So, we replaced them, but the finish on the strike plate on the exterior doors has started to flake off.

When Schlage approached me – I was thrilled to participate! Plus, I definitely wanted to replace our interior knobs as well so they would match the new exterior handles. (Just a note, our original knobs were a different company)

Deciding between Schalge’s two new finishes Satin Brass and Polished Nickel was tricky. I’ve been loving brass, but the Polished Nickel looked so clean and classic – I just love it with a white door.

We liked levers verse knobs in our CA rental, so we selected that for both the interior and exterior handles.

We eventually want to replace our exterior front door with something more modern, but the the lever gave it an instant update.

The levers are heavy and the finish seems very durable – they are solid and not painted, so I see them looking exactly the same years down the road.

I just moved our leather stools in here – they fit perfectly in that nook. p.s. I sat on them this week while working at night and love them – comfy (considering they don’t have a back) and super sturdy.

Our interior knobs were the classic 80s lacquered brass – SO different from the natural brass that’s so so pretty. Even though I love un lacquered brass, I love the subtle sophistication of the Polished Nickel.

BEFORE:

We went with the Latitude Lever – I love the clean, timeless look!

Now, it’s time for you to get involved! Schlage is giving away a $500 credit to purchase hardware for your home!! Enter on the widget below – giveaway is open for 1 week!

  2. We just moved into our new home in MD. I think there must be at last 5 different door knob styles throughout the house and it's already driving me crazy. We love the lever style from living in Europe.

  3. I love all the straight lines of the latitude knobs in polished nickel. We moved into our home last year and have been wanting to change all of the knobs because at some point an owner installed knobs that are gold on one side of the door and silver on the other side of the door! This would be a wonderful way to start to fix that terrible design choice :).

  6. We have mushroom door knobs now and are so happy with them, although I'd like a nicer knob. I love the look of the lever. But, my poodle uses his paws to try to open doors, he'd get in and out freely with levers.

  8. So good. I need new ones. I actually change them all the time though because of having different pet sitters all the time and I can't keep track of who had a key. Not a good situation

  10. I used to think I didn't like levers, but having one on the door to the garage has been so convenient. Nice when you have your arms full of groceries, kiddo gear or a sleeping child! I would like to change my other doors too.

  16. We bought our really old house last year and all the door has a very old looking and poor condition knobs. Much like your before, but worse. I would LOVE to change them to a much better one!

  18. We moved into our home last year and we still haven't replaced the knobs. Right now we have the fake gold in three different styles in a cheap brand. In our last house we replaced all of our knobs with Schlage satin nickel levers. I am pretty boring but I love the standard accent lever in polished nickel. I would love to win, it would help kick start us to start changing the 37 door knobs.

  23. we've replaced a lot of our hardware BUT they have a painted ORB finish which is already getting scratched up!!! ugh. Would love to have something that's going to last as well as be able to match up all of our hardware. Right now it's a hodge podge. Love the latitude levers in polished nickel finish. They'd go perfectly with the polished nickel hardware in our kitchens and bathrooms!

  26. I love the Century Style One side keyed Handleset with Georgian Knob in the brass. I live in a villa development so anything to make my home stand out is my goal

  30. Recently my home has become a mostly 'empty nest' and after so many years of living with all of my guys, it sometimes freaks me out to be here by myself all the time. New secure locks would go a LONG way in making me feel more secure, FOR SURE!!! I know Schlage is a quality product, too. My favorite from the Schlage page was the Camelot – such a classic style, and it would be beautiful in the brass!!! http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F60CAMFFFACC.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass#

  39. I love the clean lines of the latitude level but I am loving the satin brass but it doesn't look like they have the latitude in satin brass. 🙁 but the century line is great too! We are building a house and the handles it's coming with aren't that great and replacing them with these locks would make the space flow and be cohesive and look amazing!!

  40. I totally dig the Greyson style Bowery knobs in polished nickel. I have all hollow-core doors in my house and determined to save them from the landfill, am trying to add paneling and new knobs to make them more presentable. These would go a long way to make them look nicer no matter what I do to the door.

  41. I would love to have the Camelot Style Privacy Georgian Knob for the interior and the Camelot Style Keyed Plymouth Knob for the outer doors of my home. I think they would look great in polished nickel.

  51. I love the Century Style One side keyed Handleset with Latitude Lever in polished nickle. We recently purchased our home and the front door needs a serious facelift. I'd replace the peeling and tarnished old brass with the polished nickle.

  55. I like the Wakefield set in Polished Nickel. I can't wait to change all of the hardware in my house, we also were given a bag of keys when we got our house. We have 3 different finish colors let alone shapes and brands. I can't wait until everything matches!!
