Simple, looks good, works well

Would Recommend

Used this Reliabilt “Wagner” knob to replace the door on my garage closet storage. It came well packaged with all needed hardware and two keys.installation was a breeze (a screwdriver was all that’s needed). The knob went in easily and works/looks very nice. It’s not a “high end” knob but it looks nice and feels solidly built, keys slide in easily and I was pleasantly surprised that the included strike plate is a premium piece.

Wagner knob

Would Recommend

I got this knob to replace the one on our garage mandoor as it was starting to self lock. Knob has a satin nickel finish which seems to be quality made. On the packaging is a code to scan which gives you the installation instructions. I was to remove old knob and install this new knob By myself with the instructions and i have never installated a knob before. Knob comes with 2 keys. Works as it should and looks and feels like it will last.

Nice door knob

Would Recommend

Great door knob. Truly brings character to the door. Easy install, effortless to open. We will see how the durability is after it’s been in for a decent amount of time.

Overall a nice replacement with a few differences.

Would Recommend

Knob seems to be well made. This is the first knob I have ever changed out, so I don't have any experience other than this one. Only took about 5 minutes. One key difference I noticed, the old knob has screw guides (attached photo) which help align the holes for easy attachment, this knob does not. Probably a cost cutting measure, but I can see how these would make life easier.

Well made and easy to install

Would Recommend

Item isn’t cheaply made. It’s a heavier product. It was extremely easy to install. It replaced my bathroom closet doorknob and only took 10 minutes to swap out. Very durable and matches the other satin nickel products in my home.

Works great

Would Recommend

This is a nice door knob. The style is sleek and smooth, comes with everything needed for install and two keys. Installation took about ten minutes, functionality is perfect for interior doors. We installed it on our pantry door to help minimize the amount of snacks our children try to sneak during the day and it has worked out great.

Modern Doorknob

Would Recommend

This doorknob has a modern profile and is a nice update to a home. I like that the lock mechanism is study but for my kids rooms the exterior emergency access is easy to use.

5 minute upgrade

Would Recommend

I ordered this door knob for a closet door in my kids room. The old lever style needed updating. Installing the new knob took 5 minutes and was really easy. It came with a new striker plate to match which was nice to have. The black finish created a simple and elegant look that I was wanting.

Liked it!!!

Would Recommend

I replaced my existing unbranded door knob and found newer one better than my existing one. It is little heavier and sturdier, which is a good quality of a steel door knob. It's also a true satin nickel color and properly finished. Key can be easily inserted and can be easily locked / unlocked. Flat faced knob looks prettier than round faced knobs. Even the grip of the knob is good. I know that installation instructions are available online but there is no installation instruction available in t...

Frustrating install and flimsy mechanism

Would Not Recommend

The aesthetics are a 5/5, but the functionality is a 2/5. The internal latch mechanism is very stiff and 'gritty'—it doesn't turn smoothly at all. The installation was also a nightmare because the screws are made of soft metal and stripped almost immediately. For a passage and/or hall/closet dummy door knob that gets used every day, I expected much better mechanical quality.

This black matte finished closet door knob is super nice. Feels durable, looks amazing on my closet door. Was easy to put on and I love the no lock look

Looks good, but doesn’t feel the best

Would Recommend

It’s an adequate dummy knob. The finish is nice and it looks good but it feels pretty cheap, even as far as dummy knobs go. If it’s for a rental or if you’re just going to sell the house it’s in I think it’s perfectly fine. If it’s something you’re going to keep forever I would be 100% sure it what you want because the front edge of the knob itself isn’t the most comfortable to grip if you are going to be using it day in and day out. It does have a lifetime warranty so I’m not worried about the ...

Knob is smaller than expected

Would Not Recommend

The matte black finish on this knob is nice and seems durable. The knob itself is smaller than expected and is smaller than most other knobs in the house. This is an indoor knob, so no keys, but can be unlocked from the outside with either a screw driver or coin, just be careful to not scratch the finish.

Smooth clean stylish door knob!

Would Recommend

Installation is as strait forward as a door knob goes. Remove old door knob and latch and install new one. Comes with all necessary hardware. I really like the style of the knob too. Adds a nice touch to my hall closet door.

Very nice

Would Recommend

As with any doorknob, everything was included in the kit. If you are even remotely DIY capable, installing a doorknob is no problem. Took me about 5 minutes or less. It works well and looks nice.

Handled

Would Recommend

Acquired this product, to replace a closet door nob. It fit the bill perfectly. It comes with all the hardware necessary for the install. all you need as far as tools go, is a phillips screw driver. It took approximately 5 minutes to remove the old nob and install the new one. It is made of stylish, durable metal material, has a matte black finish. I recommend this product for any do it your selfer.
