[328] How To Remove Lock Cylinder from A Schlage Door Knob

[@johnsierramusic]

Hi there. Great video. Thx for the resources. My Schlage unlocks with the key from the outside, but the inside, where I don’t need a key to lock/unlock, will not unlock the door UNLESS the key has already unlocked the door.

[@radrob91342]

This video made what I thought was going to be a nightmare very easy. I needed to change the cylinder to a new lockset that Schlage sent me. Thanks...you rock!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helps 😊

[@Mark4Jesus]

I never would’ve figured that out, thanks!!!

[@jsnpressley]

Great video, thanks for sharing that. The only time I removed one of these cores with the collapsible bibles, I got frustrated and cut the entire doorknob in half with my dremel tool. :p Glad to know there is a much easier way. Thanks for the knowledge :)

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Open is open right? Lol. I am glad I was able to help clarify for the future :)

[@foxxtrot]

Thank you for the clear example. I'm no stranger to repinning locks, but I got this knob off and was completely lost as to my next steps.

[@brandybrockway1238]

Thank you so much. We are rekeying everything and have only one knob, and it's completely different from the levers. This was so helpful (after 20 min of other unsuccessful techniques). Very much appreciated.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

thank you for the kind words and I am glad this help to complete your re-key :-)

[@AlbertLebel]

Excellent Info. As many of the KIK type knobs can be very intimidating. Thanks for sharing this.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out! I enjoy mixing it up and doing videos like this from time to time

[@iowapanner2223]

Really neat! I had a KIK cylinder that was compresable but didn't know why. Thanks!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out! It's a pretty cool thing :)

[@tirefrier8253]

Thanks much, very helpful.

[@falciott]

Thank you for the video, this is the closet I could find for what I need. I have a Baldwin door knob, with medeco m3 cylinder, would it be a similar procedure to remove the medeco cylinder? For some reason I can't find any videos on Baldwin locks disassembly. Thank you again!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I don't think they would have a compressible cylinder. Most knobs you need to turn the key and push in a detent of some time to get it off.

[@chriscapune7873]

Nice demonstration!! Kinda a cool design. 🐈👍👍🐈👏👏

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks!

[@TotalControl1999]

Hoping you can tell me what you call a cylinder with the oval notch on the back rather than a tail piece.... thanks for everything! Great video!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Any luck so far?

[@frankbiz]

Thanks for the info, you are a lifesaver. 👍🏻

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helps!

[@Halfzipp]

Another great video. Those compressible cylinders are really cool. Thank you for sharing this. :)

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out. They are an interesting design and if you don't know about them these can be super frustrating at first to try to remove.

[@Halfzipp]

@@HelpfulLockPicker I can only imagine how frustrating these could be. Im sure I would have just cut the knob in half or something Lol.

[@screwball1010]

So helpful!

[@bimon6512]

Hi I know this video was so long ago. I hope that you will still see this comment and answer my question. After you get the core out, how can you pick it? I put it in the vice but what about the Bible's spring? Can I pick it as is or should I depress the springs?? I love your videos you explain things in a way that is easy to understand. I wish you had a hands on training class. That would be fantastic. Have a great day. 👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You would pick it like any other lock. If you are not experienced and just want it open I recommend using the key blank and shim approach.

[@richardhawthorne9283]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out

[@jimprevo]

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for. I found a great tool for this. I have some small probes that look like dental tools. One has a small Shepard’s Hook on the end and that worked perfectly.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Congrats on the success and I'm glad it helps

[@MountKash1]

Can you change the handling of the handle this way ? All of these Schlage locks seem to be right handed only. Where on a right handed door (hinges on your right when facing the outside of the door with the key hole). Allowing you to lock the door by turning the lock towards the door jam to lock. & back towards the hinges to unlock. Is there a way to switch that operation to make it work as a left handed lock ? Where on a door that has the hinges on your left side when on the outside of the door (facing key hole). Can lock towards the jam & unlock turning towards the hinges (or back to the upright position) ? In other words, to lock the door you'd: •From inside, turn the lock towards the left (counter clockwise). •From outside, turn the key towards the right (clockwise) ? Or is this impossible for schlage locks ?

Thank you!!!

This topic vis a bit more locksmith than Lockpicking. But helpful none the less

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out anyways :)

Oh it's the lock picking police. Spare us your intricacies.

That's good to know, thanks for sharing my friend.

Kinda curious if it also works like a cutaway lock

[@AC9DJ]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words and I hope it helps someone out there :)

[@kf1541]

Once you remove the cylinder, can you replace that old cylinder in a new lever and/or deadbolt, in order to not have to rekey? (all schlage products)

[@kf1541]

From an old lever to a new lever, and from an old deadbolt to a new deadbolt

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You typically can. But if you need one that needs a compressible bible you need to make sure you get the correct type. However, re-keying is easy and cheap. It would probably be the easiest choice.

[@kf1541]

i have a schlage door lock with just the keyway on one side i do not have the key to the door lock and i'm having a hard time getting of the door knob i see the push pin slot on the inside handle but i still cant get the knob off any suggestion?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You will need the key so you might need to call a locksmith

[@johncrouch5219]

What if the pin is on the other side not the key side ?

[@LockpickingsGal]

Awesome video!!

[@KoolBreeze420]

I have a knob that I would like to get the core out of but I can't seem to figure it out. So the knob came out of a door and I don't know what key it uses I tried using a bunch of my keys but none of them goes in it. The knob has a square tube coming off the spring mechanism and there's a tongue that goes through to the twist-lock mechanism in the other knob. It's how I can unlock and lock it but I have no idea how to get the knob off the base anyone knows of a source that can show me how to do this I would like to repin my actual door lock its way cheaper than buying a new one but the only way I can is to practice on this practice knob I have. Can anyone help?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I feel like pictures would help.

[@KoolBreeze420]

@@HelpfulLockPickerThe insides look like this lock. Right under the bold letters INTRODUCTION click the 2nd picture and you can see the square tube with the tongue I'm talking about. www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/doors-and-windows/how-to-change-a-doorknob The knob looks like this though www.amazon.ca/Drenky-Stainless-Entracne-Passage-Lockset/dp/B074DCYYDF/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=door+knobs+lock&qid=1607541551&sr=8-16 but because you can't see the internals I don't know if its the same.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

That looks more like a Kwikset type of lock. Check out Bored lock picker's video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaiXfqSrfdF3bc0

[@KoolBreeze420]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Yeah I watched it that looks nothing like the internals that I have. The thing is this doorknob is the most common one here I've never seen one like he has the core could be Kwikset but the one on my door looks the same and is Schlage. Doesn't matter though I asked him the same question he got back to me and my Schlage tools actually worked in pulling this thing apart I have the core in hand it's truly amazing. I think I will have no issue as long as the one on my door comes apart as this one just did thanks again you always get back to my questions which is why I ask you when I'm truly stuck. Not sure if you remember but I had a Masterlock 570 I couldn't open for months now I can actually open it in a few seconds. Turns out I only needed to set like 3 of the 5 pins not sure why. I also bought a 2nd one and it has spools. I got lucky and opened it but only once so now I put spools in some of my practice locks, I find those pins extremely hard. Thank-you!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

@@KoolBreeze420 congrats on the open and I am glad he was able to help you out :-) he is a locksmith and deals with this stuff all the time that is in part why I referred you to him. I am glad you were able to get your lock taken apart!

Horrible design. I can't help but ask why...

It makes them more money. More locks and more keyways to sell
