Absolutely fantastic Benchmark video for every single DIY help video out there. What an example. I have struggled with this for an hour and the instructions were absolutely no help at all. The manufacturer's website did not provide anything clear. You nailed it within 2 minutes. Must use the key and turn. Had no idea! Schlage should pay you for yourwork here. Thank you!!!

I thought I was going to have to switch the orientation until you said, "The correct orientation for Schlage lever is for it to have a frown." That's all I needed to hear. I don't have to do anything! But your video is excellent if you have to switch orientation. Thanks.

Thank you for making this video. After installing 25 interior door levers and changing the handing on several of the levers, I figured the entry levers would work the same way... Nope! Unfortunately the directions that came with the entry lever failed to mention that a key needed to be inserted before the lever on the keyed side of the assembly could be removed. Now that I have seen your demonstration it makes perfect sense. I'm just glad that I stopped before damaging the lock.

PJT99... You will notice that at 1:33 you hear a distinct click of the button working. I had the same problem as you until I figured out that you have to put the key in and turn it a quarter turn as the video demonstrated. This must be a security feature so that someone can't simple put a pin in and take apart the exterior handle in an attempt to break into your house.

Well, sometimes, kinda. Some of these Schlage Lever Entry handles CANNOT be switched. This is the case with a F51-ACC619 and those like them. Notice on the video above that on both of those handles, the hub of the handles (the part that actually slides into the lock body) are somewhat oblong. On some sets, the hub on the INTERIOR handle (holding the lock twist knob,) are completely round, while the exterior is oblong. These kind of lock sets cannot, no way, be switch around. Totally different insides.

So if the button side lever doesn't have a hole, but a half moon shaped indentation, does that mean the handedness can't be changed?

Right, zero instructions in the package...sadly. So many products manufactured in China come with inferior instructions or missing instructions & guides and poor English. It must be a running joke in the factories in China. Thanks to this video I managed to reverse the handles, but it sure wasn’t easy, perseverance paid off.

I have a mid century entry door knob where it was installed so that the key is upside down from the other two locks on my house. The lock does not function with my house key. I would like to try reversing the orientation up and down so that if there is a problem with the lock re-orienting it might help. Plus I wants to fix it anyway to be consistent. These are brass door knobs with a lock on the outside and a turn nub on the inside. The handle reversal video does not apply to my door knobs, but I am asking if there is a technique for re-orienting the keyhole. Thanks.

wondering if you can advise me on how to set it so when locked, neither side of the handle turns. right now the inside handle always turns. I know this feature exists on my defiant locks at the house I'm moving out of, I really hope it exists on this one too.

i've seen these before, where you can obviously still open the door from the inside too. it's a stupid feature in my opinion. maybe they think you're going to have an intruder and run for your life out the door and could die because you lost a second to unlock the knob. but, in my part of 'murica, we don't run!

Too bad when it's installed on a right-handed door (as it came) you have to turn the lock the wrong way to lock/unlock, and nothing to be done about it :/.

You'll notice at 1:34 that they had to edit the video where he puts the pin in to separate the lever - this is probably because it almost impossible to do it, poor design. I struggled with one part for 15 minutes, and the other half I never could get the pin to work.

Four years later and I'm installing an identical Schlage lockset on a different door . . . . and of course I forgot how to do it. There are a number of KZitem videos that don't show the "secret" -- that you have to insert and turn the key. You've saved me once again. Thank you so much!
