What’s one of the the quickest, least expensive ways to spruce up your home’s look?
Replace all the doorknobs.
I was really tired of looking at these shiny things.

My house was built in 1991 and I’m pretty sure they were the original hardware. Some of them weren’t working so well either.
So I decided to replace them with Schlage’s Accent line in an aged bronze finish.
I did some pricing research and M&K Locks in Texas was not only the cheapest vendor I could find online, but they also beat my local Home Depot by as much as $10 per lock. That may not seem like much, but when you’re replacing a whole house full, it adds up!
These new Schlages were easy to install too. I managed to do the entire house in less than three hours.

From jank to swank! So easy.
