I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I have a Schlage Astra escutcheon and badly damaged the lock while removing it. I couldn't figure out what type of lock I needed to replace until I found your video, but this confirmed it. Thank you!

The D Series are absolute tanks! The high school I went to had a few mixed in with their older 1950s Schlage A series knobs (the really old ones with the ridges). I never realized the connection to how the Rhodes levers work...but I see it now. Best lever on the market, in my opinion.

I remember the first D series I took apart. What a mess... Have a good weekend Jason. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Now I know how to use that funny Schlage tool. My 1950 building had all the vintage quality Schlage locks replaced as the internal springs warned out over 60 years of use. Wish I knew how to replace those springs.

You can replace them, just find a similar diameter, gauge, and length spring. They are compression springs so they are pretty easily found even at hardware stores but if you have several to do just take one apart get measurements (stretch the spring a bit before reassembly) and order a bag from a spring company :)

That's funny, I was Just working on making a mock up or display stand for a D-series leverset. Only thing, I'm missing the bolt, but it will still be a decent looking and working display. Really useful info Jay. thanks as always for sharing bud!

The Schlage G series was Schlage's first interconnected lockset which was discontinued in the 80s and replaced with the H series, they have since introduced the LT and S200 series interconnected locksets using tubular latches to appeal to more price conscious consumers.

"G" locks were the greatest but only if installed on wood doors. No metal. My opinion.

That double cylinder lock is on my front door. With a 2 3/8 backset. That's a hard animal to find.

I have the regular Schlage entry knobs. The handles are loose and jiggle. I tightened the two bolts but it is still loose. Any thoughts?

I like the storeroom function. That's really against codes. Double sided with fixed knobs!!!

There was in fact a C series Schlage. Same as D lock with a stainless steel chassis.

I was gonna say the same thing with the addition of the fact that "C" series were non-ferrous..

so is America starting to understand how much better levers are compared to knobs especially for people with arthritis in the hands

Rune International .. levers are great for residential and Commercial but they I don’t recommend them for rental property or any place that has high crime rates.. they suck for security especially in wood doors. It’s to easy to lever the lever and just twist the whole lock to open the door. They have there place. But just make sure you use a Dead Bolt with it.

Peter D'Ambra i Denmark the door handles only have to keep the door closed. the locking part is an isolated system. Though are some international products sadly finding their way in to the market and they change all of that
