IVES FS1153 US28

A: Which specific items are you comparing? Are you asking for a suggestion?

A: All three models I think you will find to be all but dimensionally identical. The Ives FS1154, Rockwood 459 and L & M Hardware FS2154 appear to be copies of one another. All function the same and meet the same door criteria. Ives is a name synonymous with Trim and Auxiliary hardware, as is Rockwood. L & M is a company whose focus is on importing good quality hardware of this type (and frankly I am sure all three are offshore imports). But of all three options, given my experience and exposure to all three, I would suggest Rockwood. I am partial to Rockwood because I find their "fit and finish" to be always near excellant. Plus I like the sound deadening felt pad assembly on the interior of the unit. Finally cost is a factor and the Rockwood item is simply priced lower and when all other factors are similar, why ignore the better price?
