A:  I have the satin buckle only for a month shy of 2 years.  We are in Atlanta and it’s still doing great!

A:  Yes. The handle is black underneath the finish, but I did not notice it until I received a request from Home Depot to answer your question. I can also give you a word of caution about using pressure washers around the doorknob. Chemicals will make the finish bubble.

A:  We're on the salty intercoastal and we installed it 2 yrs ago. So far, so good!!

A:  I had it for several years in Nebraska and it held up exceptionally well. The finish looked the same as the day I installed it. 

A:  My locks are a couple years old, and the finish looks fine, but is protected from the elements. I have a couple other locks, same brand, same finish that are exposed to the weather and have faded.

A:  I have 3 sets. None of them are in direct sunlight for more then 3 hours daily and they have NOT faded in 2 years

A:  Yes.  We have had 2, and the finish peeled off of both sets after a year of two.  We were able to get both sets replaced by Schlage’s Lifetime warranty though.

A:  The bolt goes all the way into the door frame to secure the lock.

A:  This refers to the bolt becoming "locked" in place when fully extended. It's a traditional feature that keeps people from being able to push the bolt mechanism back into the retracted position without the key.
