Schlage mechanical locks for homes
Schlage home hardware comes as separate pieces, sold alone or as matching sets:
- Deadbolts: the main security lock on an exterior door. Single-cylinder models have a key outside and a thumb-turn inside; double-cylinder models need a key on both sides. Schlage offers single-cylinder deadbolts rated to BHMA Grade 1.
- Knobs and levers (the F-series): keyed entry for exterior doors, privacy for bathrooms and bedrooms, and passage for doors that only latch, in many styles and finishes.
- Handlesets: a decorative outside grip with a thumb latch, paired with a deadbolt.
The Schlage keyway
Most Schlage home keyed locks use the Schlage C keyway, a 5-pin cylinder. A Schlage lock can be rekeyed to match your other Schlage locks, but it will not take a Kwikset key until one brand’s cylinder is changed.
Schlage keypad and smart locks
Schlage’s electronic locks split into keypad locks that work on their own and smart locks that connect to an app or a home system.
- Keypad Deadbolt and Keypad Lever: push-button codes, battery powered, no app.
- Schlage Touch: a touchscreen deadbolt or lever. The Touch deadbolt has no key cylinder at all and uses a battery jump-start for backup.
- Schlage Encode and Encode Plus: Wi-Fi smart deadbolts managed in the Schlage Home app; Encode Plus adds Apple Home Key support. There is also an Encode Lever.
- Schlage Connect: a smart deadbolt that joins a Z-Wave home automation system.
- Schlage Arrive and Sense Pro: newer models in the current smart line; check the specifications for the one you are considering.
Choosing a Schlage smart lock
Remote access, voice assistants and links to other home systems depend on the exact model and your setup. Check Schlage’s compatibility details for the model before you buy; we do not promise every app or platform.
We fit the lock, set the codes with you, and key any backup cylinder to match your other Schlage keys.
Schlage commercial locks
Schlage’s commercial lines are built for heavier use and come in many lock functions:
- ND Series: Grade 1 cylindrical lever locks, for busy doors.
- ALX Series: Grade 2 cylindrical lever locks.
- L Series: mortise locks, fitted into a pocket cut in the door edge.
Matching the function to the door
Each commercial line is offered in functions such as entrance, storeroom, classroom and privacy, and the function has to match the door’s job. Commercial Schlage cylinders can be pinned into a master key system with your other compatible locks.
Fit and compatibility questions
- Will a Schlage lock fit my door? Most Schlage home locks are made for standard door preparation. Older or unusual doors may need a different latch or some work on the door edge, so we check the bore, backset and edge first.
- Can Schlage and Kwikset locks share a key? Not as they are. They use different keyways, so one brand’s cylinders have to be changed to run the house on one key.
- Can a Schlage smart lock match my other keys? If it has a key cylinder, usually yes.
- Rekey or replace an old Schlage lock? Rekey it if it works well; replace it if it is worn, loose or damaged.

Can a Schlage lock be rekeyed?
Yes. Schlage keyed locks are pin-tumbler locks that can be rekeyed to a new key.
Rekeying keeps the hardware and makes every old key useless.
Can Schlage and Kwikset locks use the same key?
Not without changing a cylinder; they use different keyways.
Tell us how many of each you have and we will say what it takes to run them on one key.
Which Schlage smart lock works with my phone or home system?
It depends on the model: Encode and Encode Plus use Wi-Fi, and Connect uses Z-Wave.
Check Schlage’s compatibility details for the exact model. We do not promise every app or platform.
What does Grade 1 mean?
It is the heaviest-duty BHMA (ANSI) rating for locks.
Busy commercial doors and well-used exterior deadbolts benefit most; Grade 2 suits lighter use.
