I purchased both the "passage" and the "privacy" versions of this style. We kept the passage ones: for the price and finish they give a nice, classic, look that mixes well with other styles, and are stupid-easy to install. The privacy ones we returned immediatley. They had the same easy install, but the thumb-turn lock piece felt really plastic-y and did not firmly lock/ unlock. IF you bumped the lock when shifting to turn the handle, or only moved the thumb-turn 85 degrees instead of a full 90 degrees; it would still be locked! It didn't click or slide into place in anyway that let you know it was "unlocked" they way a more expensive thumb-turn would. So, it was easy to anticipate several "I unlocked it but the door is still locked! freak-outs from kids "locked" in the bathroom. We replaced them with a push-button style ("Georgian") from Schlage that I got on sale on another site. Those feel heavier and operate much more smoothly. So, you get what you pay for. Another review mentioned that these are loud- and both styles were loud, but, for passage knobs on hall closets, etc. I really don't mind and they did loosen up a bit over a week- just stick with the passage ones and don't put 'em up outside a baby's room and you'll be happy! 4 Stars for the passage model, 0 for the privacy version.

Modern and stylish. Just what I wanted.

Exactly what I was looking for

Some of the knobs came warped, but we were able to bend them and make them work to keep from having to go through the trouble sending back. Solid feel and looks nice

Lovely doorknobs, very easy to install.
