AWESOME video, thank you!!!!!!!

The shaft didn't rotate. (my lock is newer than 11 years old)

Once things are explained, i.e. the frown, simple. Thanks to you.

Thank you so much for showing step by step instructions!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you!

Schgale deadbolt and handle set installation

Thanks for sharing

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 made my day and saved my money, intended to buy a new door lock. awsome tutorial

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 so much. You made this simple with this very clear video!

Thank you for the information. Made my life easier.

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.

This video was really helpful. Thank you so much.

Your video was exactly what I needed to fix the handle set. Thank you for an easy to follow video.

The lock side dissemble part saved my day! Took so long until I watched this

I went today and found that the b60 lock looks different now. I was able to find the same design in the deadbolt and enter lock combination set. I'm worried that Schlage might have changed their design. Anyway, heads up.

Nicely done. Thanks.

Thank you. I had shaft turned 180 degrees. The handle was turning too when door was opening from outside

Thank you so much for the tip. I didn't realize I need to put the key in. All the other videos don't mention that. Awesome!!! Cheers!!!

Finally! Much love me brutha!! Been driving me crazy for years and hard to find the right video. That was too easy, 💕 it!

Need help! When I depress the thumb knob my latch does not retract, just clicks . Lever on the other side of door works fine. Thanks in advance.

I wanted to change alock which has its handle in averical position to a horizontal position but still cannot figure how to do this

Thanks for the video! It made me look so smart in front of my wife

Thank you Sir. I just got them this afternoon from Lowe’s. You saved my time.

Thanks - the handles can be tricky to pull off. I found it easiest to install the set, then switch the handles. You have more leverage that way.

Thank You! Big help.

My latch would not turn far enough or release, but I could not rotate anything 180 degrees. Turns out I needed to pull the inside latch double "hole" horizontally (away from the latch itself).

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!!!

Great video, it solved my problem! I couldn't get my lever to turn down, it would only go up. I knew it had to be an installation error but the solution wasn't in the instructions for some reason. I had to Google "door lever turns up but won't turn down" and luckily this video showed up. Maybe a more descriptive title might help grab some extra clicks. I almost didn't click this video but I thought why not I've tried every other video. Thanks for producing this!

you never showed the tool or talked about other schlage types.

Thanks so much! My model #F58 PLY 609 square drive shaft was 180 deg. off. It has never worked so good! It's 10 yrs old and I've struggled with it for yrs. until now. Great video and customer support!

This is from 9 years ago, but you saved the day!! Thank you for uploading!!

Thank you. Excellent explanation.

It would be nice if we didn't have to go to TH-cam to find instructions. The instructions that come with the handle are very basic and not clear at all * illustrations only :(

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I could not figure out what I was doing wrong!!

I have a Schlage P515-445 . I'm trying to remove the knob & plate to get to the screws. Looks like this guy is having the same problem: th-cam.com/video/nIZQf9MnWdE/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugju6n91baFguHgCoAEC

Have the same lock but don’t the key to unlock the key to remove the lever and to gain access to the cylinder to shim and to rekey. What suggestions do you have for me.

thank you

PS, i haven't actually tried it yet but it seems simple by your video :)

gotta say, i just found this key in my "junk" drawer after buying this house like 5 yrs ago! AND the top first 2 videos posted were confusing as hell; to me anyway, i appreciate the simplicity of your video, short and sweet! thank you! i had no idea this even existed LOL also, one of the top 2 videos, the guy kept saying turn to the 11 o'clock position. im like...isn't that 11 o'clock....neways after your video i now understand and thank you! LOL

Thank you! I knew some locks needed to use the key to remove the handle. Wasn't sure how and your video helped a ton.

Worked like a charm to fix my thumb latch that wouldn’t depress. My husband walked in as I was just finishing up and at first he was like “what are you doing?!?!? I hope you didn’t mess that up worse!” And I was like “nope, I fixed it!” And proceeded to show him how it works perfectly now! I love DIY TH-cam videos!

What’s this an idea? No app in store.

Thanks! Saved time trying to figure out how to remove that shield. Btw, you do not have to remove the 2nd screw at all. Just remove the 1st screw, turn the shield until tab & slot lines up, lift and remove.

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 glad I found your video! I was able to fix the ‘handle turning up’ problem. Thank you!

Awesome!! Thanks for the help. Is there a specific reason for the change in a bore hole size? I don’t understand how a 1.5 inch hole was ok for so many years and now it’s not ok.

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.

I can't get the pin tool to release the key lock lever!!!
