8 years ago I purchased 2 sets of Wilshire tubular entry sets (item 4221 plus two dummies for inactive doors), two other single cylinder entry sets, and 24 hinges, all were in satin nickel finish. Everything arrive quickly, looked fine and were professionally installed on new doors. Within two years the hinges with the most exposure had rusted totally, by 4 years the thumb lever on one door was completely worn down to the base metal. The outside exposed levers are all showing ware to the base metal. Recently an interior part of an active entry set broke, so I can only use the dead bolt.
The hardware I replaced worked fine, I just wanted to replace 30 year old fixtures when putting in new doors.
These were not inexpensive items, and should have lasted much longer.
