SCHLAGE DOOR HARDWARE REVIEW: Our Real-Life Experience
By Kylie
August 12, 2022
If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I don’t partner with many companies. However, when the opportunity arose to partner with Schlage, I was EXCITED!
I’m a bit of a weirdo when it comes to hardware, as not only does it need to look good, it needs to feel good (which is also why I chose my hubby). I went to Home Depot and Lowes and there were a few brands that didn’t quite float my boat. Schlage, on the other hand, had the look good/feel good combo I was looking for.
BEDROOM, BATHROOM & CLOSET DOORS
LATITUDE LEVER WITH CENTURY TRIM
While you can get this same combo in-store, I was ordering online (where it’s easier to see ALL of the options available) and chose the Latitude style lever with Century trim as I like the combo of clean and curvy lines.
While Schlage has a TON of knob options, I’m a lever-girl…
But like MOST online images, it’s way nicer to see things in action in a REAL home…
I chose the Century profile as my cabinets are a shaker style in the kitchen and the doors have a similar profile. There is a more square profile available, but I liked the subtle softness of this one…
As for the primary bedroom, because this is a property we’ll be renting out occasionally, I did an electronic lock so we can choose not to rent out the primary bedroom (I’m not a HUUUUUGE fan of people I don’t know sleeping in my bed!).
One reason I LOVE this set is that there’s no key to worry about and we can change the password as needed. We also have a similar set on the front door, but seeing as the door isn’t painted yet and is a bit of a hot mess, you’ll have to wait for those photos!

Homeowner’s Guide: White Kitchen Cabinets
This isn’t another ’10 Best Cabinet Colors’ list, because there is no SINGLE best white for every home and every kitchen.
The best white cabinet color is the one that goes with your home, your finishes, your lighting, and your style.
Stop second-guessing every paint chip and choose your cabinet color with less guessing, fewer samples, and a whole lot more color confidence.
$34.95Accent Colors
This isn’t about plastering your home in the ‘Color of the Year’ or following the latest trends (unless you really want to).
It’s about finding accent colors that work with YOUR home, YOUR style, and YOUR comfort level.
Because the best accent color isn’t one you love on a paint chip, it’s one that makes everything around it look better.

Homeowner’s Guide: Exterior Paint Colors
This isn’t a list of the ‘best exterior paint colors’, as the best color is the one that suits your home. Instead, you’ll learn how to look at YOUR roof, YOUR windows, YOUR brick (or stone) and YOUR home as a whole so you can understand what colors make sense, and confidently throw the others in the burn pile.
Whether you’re repainting an outdated exterior, working around finishes you can’t change, or creating a color palette from scratch, the goal is the same: less guessing, fewer samples, and a lot more confidence before gallons of paint go on your home.
$44.95Exterior Trim Paint Colors
This isn’t a list of ‘the best trim colors’, although you’ll get a ton of links to great shades, you’ll learn how to look at your home and understand whether it needs contrast, repetition, connection, or a little visual peacekeeping to pull it all together.
Because trim might seem like a small detail…
…but spread it around all four sides of your home on multiple surfaces and it suddenly has a pretty big job.
