Overview
This Schlage Century lower half entry handleset pairs an exterior grip handle with an interior Georgian knob in an aged bronze finish, built for entry doors that already have or will get a separate deadbolt.
Despite being filed under door knobs, this is a full handleset assembly, an exterior grip plus interior knob, not a matching pair of knobs.
- Georgian knob, aged bronze finish
- Self-aligning screw holes
- Reversible for either door handing
- AAA BHMA durability rating
Who it's for
Fits homeowners replacing worn entry door hardware who already have or plan to add a deadbolt separately, and either left- or right-handed door installers since the set is reversible.
Pros and cons
- Self-aligning screw holes for a screwdriver-only install
- Works on right- or left-handed doors
- AAA BHMA rated for security, durability and finish
- Pairs with a separate deadbolt or smart lock
- No deadbolt included, despite being an entry set
- Listed under a door knobs category though it is a full handleset
- No model number given beyond the handleset name
Performance notes
Self-aligning screw holes are built to let the handleset go on with just a screwdriver, and the assembly is reversible for either door handing. Schlage backs the metal construction with an AAA BHMA rating covering security, durability, and finish.
