Hey CONNOR, Thanks for watching my FRIEND :)

I was never able to lock from inside for months. My wife was "suggesting" I call a locksmith. At the 11 minute mark in your video, I saw how you turn the metal 360 degrees. Viola. Fixed. Now may wife thinks I am a genius! THANK YOU!!!

Just installed this knob and never had a Schlage with the feature where the door unlocks after you turn the inside knob. Had to make sure this wasn’t defective. And now I know. Guess it’s been a while since I had to put one of these on. They seem to last a lot longer than some other brands. Good vid, good install.

Hi YVONNE!

At time mark 7:24-25 of the video, where you snap the outside of the dead bolt into place, what were you doing with your right hand that is not shown by the camera angle ? I am having trouble with mine snapping into place and wondered if there was something that needed to be done inside the mechanism to make that happen.

Excellent video. I just installed the same set with identical door swing. The only problem is that to lock the deadbolt from the inside, one has to turn the knob to the left (towards jam) but to lock the knob also from the inside, one has to turn the knob to the right (away from jam). Tried everything to try to change the directions on the door knob but no success. Very frustrating and it’ll take a while getting used to as all the other Schlage combo in the house lock in same direction, twisting towards the jam.

@ETPCYT

5 жыл бұрын

First of thanks for the comment and the compliment, James :) That is quite odd... I have never encountered any hinges that were not simply screwed into the door frame (and hopefully studs behind that). I am taking a shot in the dark here but is it possible that the hinge was attached at a different angle (for what ever reason) and the molding put on over the hinge so it appears as if it was shoved into the wall? That is the only thing I can think of.. I mean you would think it has to be screwed in somewhere and maybe that is just hidden? I hope this helps, Buddy. Have a good one. Let me know if you figure it out. It will help others with a similar situation :)

We installed the same set. Our door locks when the knob is horizontal just like in your video......WHY?? I could not figure out how to fix it. The knob should be vertical when the door is locked. Please help! I cannot find a video that helps..

@ETPCYT

3 жыл бұрын

Maybe this one is designed to be horizontal when it locks?

We had a totally different lockset, BUT, the deadbolt was the same, with this problem. Once we installed it, we could lock the door but then not get the key out. We could only lock it on the inside IF we had the key in the door outside. What's up with that? So we went to the college of KZread and found your vid. The part about turning that piece that connected the inside to the outside of the deadbolt 180° and reinstalling was the solution. Whudda thunk? Thank you so much for posting this video - with YOU having the same basic problem we had concerning the deadbolt.

@@ETPCYT I'll try to explain it easy, the outside door where I live (the door to get in the house from the street) it have a deadbolt and a door handle, so the only way to lock it from outside it's locking the deadbolt outside with the key, but people that live in the house, they leave and just close the door and don't lock it, so I need a door system that when the door gets closed, it automatically locks and the only way to open it's with the key, like the door knob from the video but without the twisting lock from inside.

Yeah, I don't like that the doorknob doesn't lock from the inside, and the screws and lock placement is different than most doorknobs. The screws were difficult to install due to the weird angle, and the Schlage directions were pitiful. Thanks so much for this, I would've persisted until the screws were damaged.
