This knob was a really nice update from my dated, 90s brass knobs. They are fairly heavy but the lock button feels plastic-y. Not super noticeable. Emergency lock is a little hard to pop. Overall, I would recommend if you want a nice update without spending Rejuvenation $$$$$. Beware if you have older doors like mine-- with the rectangular backing, things can easily look crooked if you're not working with super straight lines on the doors.
