In fact today’s giveaway is helping to promote their two latest hardware finishes, Satin Brass and Polished Nickel. So. Hard. to. Choose! Brass is so hot, hot, hot right now with home decor, but it’s a hard finish to get right. There’s a fine line between 80’s brass and the more understated brass finish of today π There’s some bathroom and kitchen hardware collections that are available, but not much door hardware in the right tone and sheen. In fact, Schlage’s matte brass gets it JUST right.
I’m also a huge fan of polished nickel, most of the time I tend to go that direction when choosing bathroom hardware. If you’re not aware of the difference between polished nickel and polished chrome, it’s subtle, but important. Chrome has cool undertones. Nickel on the other hand give us that sleek silver look with a slightly warmer tone. It’s like the difference between white and ivory. Perfect way to get the shine without getting too stark.
So when Schlage asked me which door hardware style and finish I’d like to install, I decided to go with polished nickel to match the nickel finish of our house numbers. I chose the to go with the Century Collection because of its matching modern lines. The hardware was super easy to install. In fact the Mr had all all of the interior door knobs up within an hour :X I was impressed.
Our house was built in 1963 and had a lot of original door hardware in a matte copper tone that was so popular back then. Most of them were not in great shape. BUT there was also a mish-mash of newer chrome and brass knobs. So it felt good to replace all of them with uniform hardware. Ah, satisfaction π I love the contrast of the polished nickel with the retro wood tone of the doors. Can you believe at one point I wanted to stain them a different color? So glad I refrained.
Now for the giveaway! One lucky winner will get to outfit their home with $500 worth of door hardware in Schlage’s new finishes (Satin Brass or Polished Nickel) in the style of their choice.
Prize value worth up to a $500. U.S. readers only, please. By entering this giveaway, you agree to complete a written questionnaire with feedback surrounding Schlage products and installation. Once the prize has been shipped to the lucky winner and theyβve had time to install and use the hardware, a Schlage representative will get in touch for feedback. Opinions you provide will be used in future communications from Schlage. Enter using the rafflecopter widget below.
Joanie says
I really need a new front door handle and lock. My 80-plus-year-old interior knob keeps falling off and we have to turn the deadbolt and pull at the same time. This http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F60CAMFFFGEO.html?bck=@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass# would be a fabulous help!
SandyD says
Were getting our house ready to sell in the spring. New siding, new roof, new trim paint…and these Schlage products would be a great upgrade that also looks awesome: Greenwich Style One side keyed Handleset with Latitude Lever
Susan says
I would LOVE to replace all my door knobs with this one: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F40SACFFF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/polishednickel
I live in a 15 year old colonial and every door knob is shiny 80's brass!
Angela says
LOVE the Century Style One side keyed Handleset with Latitude Lever for my front door. It would update the look of it
Jennifer Schmitz says
I seriously need the Camelot Style Keyed Plymouth knob in Aged Bronze ock for my back door. Right now I just have an old brass knob from 1990 and it is an eyesore. The back door can be seen from my kitchen which has aged bronze/oil rubbed bronze drawer pulls so the shiny brass knob draws your attention and looks very outdated. The Camelot set has a beautiful back plate that would add a decorative touch too. When people go to redo their rooms they often times overlook the door knobs but they are the final details that pull the room together. After seeing that brass knob every day it reminds me just how important they are too the overall look and feel of the room.
Megan says
love the georgian knobs in brass for our upstairs doors.
Heidi says
My husband and I have on our to-do this this winter to de-brass our interior doors so this is perfect! We have Schlage hardware on front and back doors and absolutely love them. Our interior doors and basement door is a totally different story and with door handles that are broken we need to get them fixed so we can properly baby proof our house. I love the Greyson style handles for the interior doors.

I'm liking the Camelot in Antique Brass. Thanks for hosting!!
Megan says
I totally dig the Greyson style Bowery knobs! I have never seen this style knob before and completely adore it. 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.
Emily Johnson says
I love the Latitude handle!

I am gradually replacing my interior door knobs with Schlage knobs. My front door desperately needs a new entry set as it still has a cheap, old brass finished set that everyone is familiar with. I have been dreaming of this style of door jewelry…http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/FE575PLYFFFPLY.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:product/knobs/keypad

JK says
Nice! I could use a new deadbolt for sure
Shikha says
We actually JUST bought a few schlage locks for our exterior doors (in polished nickel, to boot!) and I'd love to keep it going and replace all the knobs on our interior doors! Like you, our house is older (built in the 70s) and almost all bedroom/bathroom doors have the old matte copper knobs. I'm digging these: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F40LATFFF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/polishednickel in the polished nickel.
They'll help us modernize our home, and help keep-up with the other reno's we've done to update the home. We're firm believers that small updates go a long way in making our house a home!

Shannon Lee Smith says
I love the wakefield products… and I SO SO SO need new door handles – they are wobbling wobbling wobbling!!
Cheryl says
My favorites are the Standard Non-locking Latitude Lever and Standard Privacy Latitude Lever. Our doorknobs are old, original, and ugly. These would really update our look and beautify our home.

The finish on our front door's handle has worn off (and rusted) from our dog's nose butting up against it. I'd love this elegant new set to redo our front door!

I'd be so happy to see all of the 80's brass hardware on my interior and exterior doors go! It is one of those simple changes that makes such a huge difference in the overall appeal of a home.

We just picked up some cheap door knobs when we moved in to our home, but I would love some higher quality knobs for our home http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/FE695CAMFFFFLA.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/brightbrass. I would pick satin brass.
Kathy-esque says
I love the Wakefield Style in the Polished Nickel. http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F51ACCFFFWKF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/polishednickel And boy could I use these to get rid of my 90s shiny brass hardware!
Diane says
The Century Style Handleset with Latitude Lever in satin nickel would be a massive upgrade to the barely-turns, falling-apart number that we fight with now!
Christin says
Our house came with dark knobs that aren't really my style. These are better.

I have 2 back doors.. one has to be locked using the top bolt and the second one is so hard to turn my little one can't do it. I would start with http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F51ACCFFF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass

All of our doors have knobs; having levers would help us as we age and arthritis makes using knobs more difficult.
tara says
Beautiful! I really like the polished nickel, and I would love the Wakefield handleset. So curvy and pretty π
Sarah says
Love the century handleset in polished nickel. Painting house exterior soon and this would be a perfect refreshing door change.
Rebecca says
I like the Schlage Senseβ’ Smart Deadbolt
Angie Tyner says
I love the Camelot style with the Georgian knob in the satin brass

I don't see the satin brass door knobs that you used on your interior doors, I only see them in the other finishes. Can you share the name? Love them!!!
Reichel Broussard says
I used the century line levers in polished nickel π I hope they come out with them in the matte brass soon though!!!
Emily says
Our home is desperately in need of an update and this would look amazing on our front door!

My children are just old enough to open doors and get into things that they shouldn't be getting into. This Camelot lever would look amazing on my bedroom door! It would take the handle from childproof ugly to locked chic!
Ashleigh says
I am so excited to read this post, as we are in the process of upgrading all of our old, dingy, scratched hardware! I love this one in satin brass: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F60CAMFFFACC.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass These would be SUCH an improvement on our exterior doors! Thank you so so much for the chance to win! π

Angela Saver says
I love the Camelot Style One side keyed Handleset with Georgian Knob – http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F60CAMFFFGEO.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:styleCollection/camelot – in Satin brass! It would improve the look of our home because it would replace the hardware in our front door that is very worn & weathered.
D Schmidt mummytotwoboys says

They would give an updated and elegant look to my home.
Crystal Sell says
I like the wakefield style in polished nickel!
MDiskin says
I like the Camelot handleset with the Georgian knobs to pretty up my front door. I will say that it's important if you have little kids to have a turn knob (not key) on the inside so that they can get out quickly in an emergency. So perhaps I'd also get a turn knob for inside!
Rebecca says
I have most of my hardware from Schlage. They have held up well and I recommend them.
Michelle says
Love the Greyson & Century styles in polished nickel!
