That s the metal catch on the door jamb which can move.
Schlage door does not shut have to use handle.
When the doorknob doesn t latch completely and the door won t stay closed the fault usually isn t with the knob but with the strike plate.
Slide the handle off the lockset until it butts up against the key.
This is because the issue is not with the door and not even with the control the knob has over the stuck latch.
That means you need a deadbolt for the top hole and a front entry handle for the two holes below it.
Look for a small hole in the side of the handle near the face of the lockset.
What if you have a triple bore hole door.
Whether you re looking for how to pronounce schlage or help programming an electronic lock this is a great place to start.
Put the two halves of the lock together on the counter not in the door yet and check if both of the knobs will turn when it is unlocked.
All the same benefits as above apply.
Insert the end of a door handle tool or small flat head screwdriver into the hole.
Press in on the tool or screwdriver while pulling out on the handle.
Assuming it works when unlocked try locking the knob.
Like the other door setups your deadbolt can be mechanical electronic or smart.
