just did this and it worked! saved me at least $100

After many hours of searching and trying many possible solutions, this one simple action solved the problem. The screw in the hole was really hard to see, and was too hard for me to turn, but when a locksmith (whom I hired) came, I mentioned this possible solution first. She tried it (and she could turn the screw), and instantly my problem was solved! Thank you for posting!

Sounds so good! Nice

Nice ride love my zzzs

Hey this worked for a friend of mine's lock. Thank you so much for posting!

FYI the physical key does not release/turn the lock when it spins like this... This literally JUST happened to me a little over an hour ago and I didn't have the key on me, had to call my Mum to rescue me (or I thought by bringing me the key that would save the day). Even with the key it still only spins without catching anything. I ended up having to scale the patios to climb over the railing and try to go in through my patio door (I live on the top floor of a 3 story condo building). sure enough patio was locked up too, thankfully not as tightly as my steel framed front door. My Mum managed to find a crowbar like thing with a flat screw driver type end I got into the door after some forcing I was able to get the right leverage and break the patio lock. Learn from my mistake: the moment the lock stops catching even a touch, swap it out! I didnt change it right a and on my way out the door forgot not to lock the deadbolt until the moment it latched and was too late. Not happy with Schlage locks right about now and I doubt I'll be getting Schlage as the replacement lock.

Thank you for this! You sorted this mysterious problem out for me. Does this happen over time because that screw doesn’t stay in the direction you want it to be in? Mine seemed to get worse over time.

How long did that fix last?

Thank you thank thank you. You made my day.

I will never buy a Schlage product again! This lock stopped working in freezing weather and my daughter couldn’t get into the house! Absolute Junk and Schlage knows it’s a problem!

Works for me. Thanks for posting the video.

Thank you for this video!

Thanks! Best video out there to complete the fix

What is the max speed on a 5 speed trans? My 4 speed maxed at 133mph.

I tried all the fixes and none helped. Got a lithium battery and no issues since.

Thanks, had the same problem. It's 3ºF cold right now, wondering if it's part of the problem, seems to be a sticking solenoid.

Great video! Thanks!!

I will try this, but I believe it may be a lubrication issue as well, I have seen others strip theirs apart and what they did is was just messing with the spring attached to the motor, some stretched the spring, others compressed the spring, something both fixes had in common is they retubed the lock, that must be it. I would think just turning the override screw a few times freed up the lubricant for a short term fix but I will try that first before stripping it down and lubricate it. There must be an easier way to get down to lubricating it then what I have seen from other videos.

That’s not a fix. That is the cam that moves when your deadbolt rotates. All you did was manually change the lock to unlocked by rotating it. I would bet your problem came back. The issue is the spring on the other side.

Mine was beeping 5 times but not taking the code. I tried your method and didn't work.. ugh. The 9V I used had 9.2V on my voltmeter. I tried another freshy that read 9.7V and bam it fixed it. So.... if anyone reading this.. replace your 9v w a freshy.

Thank you Exact! I had exact same problem.

Nice wat size converter

Thanks man, you fixed it.

What muffler?

Bumpy track?

Can you do a brake down on the Z

Interested in the motor,, how the hell did you fit it in there??? Lol

Do you have a permanent solution? Mine does that every couple weeks. In other words,...this is a temporary fix unless I can do something about it. I don't think schlage made it so that you would have to use adhesive or something? Did they?

What’s the price on it
