Probrico 6 Pack Keyed Alike Entry Door Levers in Oil Rubbed Bronze Review

The Probrico entry lever set is sold as a 6 pack, which is the point of the product. It is aimed at buyers fitting out several doors at once, such as a rental property, a small office or a set of hotel-style rooms, where handing out one key that works on every lock is a real advantage.

Each lock uses a wave-style lever in a zinc alloy body with an oil rubbed bronze finish. The maker says the finish resists corrosion and fading, which suits a dark, traditional look that does not show fingerprints as clearly as polished metal.

These are entry locks, meaning the outside is keyed and the inside turns freely. The listing says each lock ships with 3 keys, and that separately bought single packs have different keys, so matching keys apply only inside this multi-pack.

It is a contractor pack at heart. The strengths are quantity, matching keys and simple fitting, rather than any smart or advanced feature.

The lever is made of zinc alloy and has a wave shape with an ergonomic grip. The listing gives the lever length as 120mm, or 4.7 inches, which is long enough to operate easily with a full hand or an elbow.

The rosette, the round plate behind the lever, measures 65mm or 2.56 inches across. That size is large enough to cover typical bore holes and old screw marks, which helps hide wear when replacing an older lockset.

The levers are reversible. The listing says they fit both right-handed and left-handed doors, and the interior lever can be removed from the rosette and swapped with the exterior one, so the same pack suits doors that open either way.

One construction detail to note is that the square plate of the latch is not removable. If your door edge needs a different latch plate, check this before buying.

The practical question for any lockset is fit. This one suits standard doors from 35mm to 45mm thick, which is 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, and the latch adjusts between 60mm and 70mm, which is 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. That covers most residential and interior commercial doors.

Installation needs only a screwdriver, and the listing says it can be done in minutes. The package includes the fittings, and the instructions can double as a drilling template, which helps first-time installers get the holes right.

The keyed alike arrangement is the main performance feature. Six locks open with one key, so a property manager carries one key rather than six. The trade-off is that anyone with that key can open every door in the set.

The listing positions these locks for offices, homes and hotels where higher security is wanted. As with any lockset, security depends on the door, frame and strike plate as much as on the lever itself.
