Purchased these in needed door types to replace the ones we've had for 15 years. The pins that hold the levers in place kept falling out. We had a lot of trying to open the door with the levers coming off in our hands. Tried different fixes, but just kept happening. We went with the black over the burnished brass because we were ready for a change and had done some redecorating. They look great and modernize, but still work with our classic house. Would recommend.
