The handle seems pretty sturdy and relatively mechanically simple on the inside, compared to other handles I've installed, but boy are the installation instructions very difficult to follow despite really not being very many steps. I bought this to replace a Schlage commercial handle that lasted 20 years in a very high traffic area, and it installed perfectly without needing to drill any new holes, which was nice. I won't know if it holds up for another decade or so, hopefully, but it seemed durable when I put it together, everything fit together nicely when it was done. My handle was a passage, so I can't speak to the quality of any lock mechanisms. The only really notable item is that it's a much lower profile, in terms of how far it sticks out of the door, than almost any other handle of its type that I've used, which does take some getting used to, but will probably help it's durability in the long run, since it'll have less leverage against it during use. Overall would consider buying again, though perhaps not for such a high traffic area as that low profile makes it a bit harder to open than I would have preferred.
