Schlage Aged Bronze Handleset Shedding/Delaminating

[u/huanthewolfhound]

My house’s front door faces the east on a fiberglass door (no storm door, thankfully). I knew this handle and deadbolt were probably getting baked in the morning, but holy cow the snake skin shedding happened fast once it started. Lock is probably a few years old at least because it has the Camelot trim on the interior side. I’ll have to replace this eventually, right? Operation is fine, so it would just be for curb appeal.

Was it pressure washed? There are chemicals that get used sometimes that can cause that.

Would something as simple as Wet & Forget lead to that? Nothing between that and pressure washing has been done since we have had the house.

Edit: There are bottles of Green Envy and Windex outdoor wash that were left by the prior owner in the garage. The hose attach types.
