Schlage Locksmith: Repair, Rekeying & Installation
Schlage deadbolts, levers, handlesets and smart locks repaired, rekeyed and installed across Toronto and the GTA. Licensed and insured, in the trade since 2010.
Schlage Lock Repair and Replacement
Most Schlage problems we see have a simple cause. A deadbolt that will not turn all the way usually means the bolt is rubbing on the strike plate because the door has moved. A key that is hard to turn is often a worn key or a dry cylinder. A lever that droops has a tired spring inside the latch. These can usually be fixed without replacing the lock.
When a lock does need replacing, we match it to the existing door preparation. Most Schlage residential locks fit a standard bore hole and an adjustable latch, so a new knob, lever or deadbolt can go in without new holes in the door. If you are changing brands or finishes, we check the fit before you buy.
If you are not sure whether to repair or replace, read rekey or replace your locks, or call (647) 955-3277 with a photo of the lock.

Rekeying Schlage Locks
Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so old keys stop working and a new key opens the lock. It costs less than new hardware and keeps the locks you already have. Most Schlage residential locks use the SC1 keyway, so we can usually key every Schlage lock in the house to one key.
Schlage and Kwikset use different keyways. To run both brands on one key, one of the cylinders usually has to be changed. We tell you which before starting.
For businesses, Schlage commercial lever locks such as the ND series can be rekeyed and added to a master key system. Where key control matters, a restricted keyway such as Schlage Everest limits who can copy the key. See high security locks and one key for every door.
Schlage Smart Locks and Keypad Deadbolts
We install and set up Schlage Encode Wi-Fi deadbolts and levers, Schlage keypad deadbolts, and older Schlage Sense and Connect models. A smart lock only works well when the bolt slides freely. If the bolt rubs on the strike, the motor strains, the batteries drain and the lock jams. We adjust the strike and the door before setting up the lock, then check that it locks and unlocks cleanly from the app and the keypad.
Most Schlage smart locks still have a key cylinder as a backup, and that cylinder can be rekeyed to match your other locks. See smart lock installation and smart lock repair and troubleshooting.

Schlage Lock Questions
Can you rekey a Schlage lock instead of replacing it?
Yes. Most Schlage knobs, levers and deadbolts can be rekeyed at your door, so old keys stop working.
Can my Schlage and Kwikset locks use the same key?
Not as they are, because the keyways differ. Changing one cylinder usually solves it.
My Schlage deadbolt is hard to lock. Is the lock broken?
Usually not. The door has often shifted and the bolt is rubbing on the strike plate, which can be adjusted.
