Good looking, but hard to live with.

I like the handle, but a couple things make it a little annoying to live with every day. From the inside, the little turning mechanism on the handle that locks/unlocks doesn't pop in/out to allow opening the door while locked. In order to open the door from the inside, you have to turn the lock mechanism every time before being able to turn the latch. The mechanism doesn't have the option of being able to open the door from the inside while locked. On the outside, unlocking the door with the key is in the opposite direction of the handle's direction to open the door. The key unlocks by turning counter clockwise and then you have to turn the lever clockwise to open the door. These things might sound minor, but do it multiple times a day and it gets old. With my old knob, I could open the door from the inside even if it was locked, and from the outside, turning the key unlocks and opens the door in one simple motion.
