Ralph Door Lever · Straight

Modern and beautiful look, I love this silver handle!

After three months of waiting to get my new front door in, I was able to install this deadbolt lock. It’s a smooth satin nickel finish, easy to install and turns smoothly. I believe it’s a quality item and feels very solid. I’m happy with this purchase!

It was easy to install, is secure and works great!

This lock set installed easily. The handles are a good length and felt solid and smooth. The dead bolt fit perfectly into the housing. Locking and unlocking with the key was no problem. The finish will definitely show fingerprints, but that is not something I care about. I installed this on a back door, but now my back door looks like crap because the lock set looks and feels high end. No complaints.

I needed to upgrade the locks on my security screen door and the Mega Handles, Ralph style, Entry Combo Pack fit right in with my décor. I didn’t have to figure out if my door was left or right handed since the straight handle allows for either. The weight of the lock set was impressively heavy. The feel of the handle was comfortable, the finish well done and all the hardware was included. Installation took just a Phillips screwdriver and about 15 minutes. The only adjustment I had to make were the mounting screws for the handle portion of the set. The screws were too long for the narrow security door and bottomed-out before everything was tight. I had to trim about ¼” from each screw to allow the two sides of the lock to tighten firmly on the door. The maker supplies 4 keys (each lock uses the same key) and this is a bonus if you have a family. This is a great value and from what I saw, the lock set should last for years and years.

I really like this door handle, it took me almost no time to install and looks amazing. The handle feels very sturdy and strong. Operating it is quite smooth and the door locks with ease. Its a great buy and highly recommended.

I'm on the fence about this handle. I installed it on a standard hollow core door with the knob/handle hole already pre-drilled. The latch mechanism didn't easily fit in the pre-drilled door and I had to force it in with a rubber mallet. I then had trouble understanding the directions, as I've never installed a doorknob that involved unscrewing the handle and rosette cover to install, but I eventually came to understand the directions and after a lot of wiggling the parts to get them to slide together properly, it was in. Now that's all said and done, I'm not thrilled with the wiggle on the inside handle. I've attempted to tighten it with the provided allen key, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference (see super short video).

This is my review of Mega Handles Privacy I Lever Door Handle Set for Hallway, Closet and Bathroom. I used this door handle for a shed entry door, even though a passage handle would have been more appropriate. The privacy and passage handle are nearly identical with the only difference being the push button lock on the interior of the door for privacy. The installation was easy as the handle fit in the existing location on the door without needing to modify any openings. The whole product has good weight to it giving the sense that it is constructed of durable metal without plastic or thin materials. The function of the handle is smooth however it does have a slight delay in operation, meaning when you turn the handle it takes more of a twist to start to retract the bolt. This is a little unfamiliar to me but more than likely is not an issue as the handle retracts and releases smoothly.
One point that may be a concern for some, especially with young children, is the handle does not have a way to unlock from outside the door. Most privacy locks have a hole outside for a small thin key to unlock in the event of an emergency or someone cannot open from inside. This could be a concern for the bathroom or bedroom. With this handle you will not have any way to get in if needed. Other than this concern, which does not affect myself, this product is made well and meets my expectations; therefore, I am rating it 4 stars.

I received my Mega Handles Privacy Lever Door Handle Set when promised, and it was packaged to ensure none of the elements were damaged or scratched. The finish on this set is matte black and is so good, it absorbs the light.

This set out of the box weighs almost 2 pounds. The levers are long and substantial so you know you’ve grabbed the door handle. It is so sturdy, you won’t worry about damaging this lever with rough treatment.

Most of the new door handle sets I’ve installed over the last 6 months or so have required me to enlarge the top and bottom of the hole for the latch mechanism. The knobs I’ve been replacing have been on these doors for at least 20 years and a couple of them likely go back to the original build over 40 years ago. Some of the strike plates are changing from curved edges to more sharp, squared edges, but my handy Dremel takes care of those small fit adjustments.

The mfr instructions included with this set are comprehensive and easy to follow, especially if you’ve changed handle sets before. I always pull all the parts and hardware out to match it up with the instructions, and the only pieces that confused me before I started this installation were the three small, headless threaded screws. Those aren’t referenced on the instructions specifically but are used to tighten the rosette to the internal parts of the interior door and attaching the lever handle with the provided tiny Allen wrench - which I initially thought was the “key” for opening a locked door (this one is a push button).

The quality of this set becomes clear during the installation. The screws attaching the interior and exterior pieces are inside the rosettes, so I didn’t have to struggle to tighten screws around a door handle - meaning no scratches from slipping off the screw. I wasn’t able to get the included screw installed on the bottom threaded posts, but I think that was more my error. I used a screw from the set I removed and it worked beautifully, so I moved on. Also, I was very thankful for the 3 extra, very tiny headless screws provided by the mfr to reattach the rosette and door lever. I dropped the first 2 I was attempting to reinstall, but since I had 3 extra, I was able to get the installation complete without letting go of everything to search for them. I found them during cleanup and stored them in a labeled bag in case I need them. I will admit that reattaching the rosette and door lever were the most frustrating part - those screws are tiny but they need to go in far enough to secure the rosette and lever, and the tool is tiny too! But once you get those reinstalled, you’re done.

Installed, this handle set oozes quality. Hubby says it feels substantial, strong, durable and sturdy, and he doesn’t worry about breaking it (unlike the delicate, swirly lever on the powder room door). Honestly, to be worthy of this lever set, I think we need to replace this 40 year old door!

While this wasn’t the easiest handle set I’ve ever installed, the sleek look and lack of exposed screw heads were worth the extra time and effort. Anyone who can read and follow instructions and use a Phillips head screwdriver and Allen wrench can install this door lever, and enjoy the result. The price point to value on this product is excellent, especially because of its durability.

If you are looking for a really simple design esthetic combined with a substantial, well-manufactured door lever set, I highly recommend this Mega Handles Privacy Lever Door Handle Set - this gets all the stars!

Shopped them all, ordered them all, tried them all. This is the one. Period.

Very good product, solid, heavy and easy to install. For some reason, this particular design is hard to find from other more well known brands.

They were great!

I recently got this to install on my front door due to my son trying to get out all the time. It was easy to install. I love the color, it matches my door frame perfectly. It is a really good quality deadbolt. It fit perfectly. Now I don’t have to worry about my son opening the door anymore. It locks and unlocks smoothly.

Extremely easy swap for a metal fire door to my garage. Needed it to make the inspection for my VA loan and it fit exactly what the code requirement was. Great deal.

Elegant design and easy to install door handle, standard sizing making it easy to swap out, both handle and deadbolt. It is a powder coat, have to be careful to not scratch the paint. Really elevates the look of a front door.

Incredibly easy to install as a replacement to a broken door handle. This was actually the cheapest lever door handle I could find, even though I didn't actually need a new deadbolt. But it seems sturdy and came with 4 keys. Very happy with the purchase!

This deadbolt is solid and straightforward to install, just remove the old deadbolt and swap this one in and tighten the screws. I like that it includes 3 keys instead of 2 like some deadbolts. One issue I have is that I was hoping I could place it in the existing decorative framework of the original deadbolt, but the diameter of this one is just slightly smaller than the original, so it is too small to sit in the original decorative framework. Other than that, it's a deadbolt and it works.

This product looks very nice, but extremely disappointed in its quality. After a complicated installation of the door handle, it still didn’t work right. If you lock the handle from the inside, you can still open the door but handle remains locked from the outside, making it very easy for you to lock yourself out. Also, door handle lock is loose and literally sounds poorly made. After going back-and-forth with the manufacturer several times, they disclosed that there is a manufacturing issue with the door handle. Definitely would not recommend.

Fit is good and the movement with the key or latch is smooth. Installation was a breeze since I was replacing an existiing lock.

It has a nice solid feel to it. I expect it to last a long time.

I was really pleased at the look and the quality of this lock set. It was easy to install and fit perfectly in the door. It feels solid and heavy in the hand, and I have no concerns about it holding up for security. The included keys work well and the mechanism is smooth.

Megan handles entry deadbolt lock. I got this in the black finish super easy to install. I was just replacing an old deadbolt so I didn’t need to really mess with the door jam. This deadbolt was super easy to install and only took a few minutes. It took longer to get the old one off then install the new one came with two keys.

Great looking lock, looks just as pictured. Only con worth noting is that the bolt is longer/deeper than what our new door has cut out, so it only turns 3/4 of the way. We just need to drill out the hole to make it deeper. I'm not sure if ours was shallower than standard, or if this one is deeper than standard, but something to pay attention to. Overall happy with our purchase.
