Schlage Rekeying for F-Series One-Piece Knobs with Compressible Cylinder
Before you can begin repinning, you must first disassemble the lock
A
Depress knob catch using tab
on key gauge and pull knob off
of knob catch
B
Continue to pull knob off spindle
completely
C
Rotate key back 90° to original
position and remove key
D
E F
Carefully push the cylinder out
of the back of the knob by
applying pressure to the top of
the cylinder plug face
To remove the cylinder, first ensure that the keyway on the plug is
facing upright. Next, allow the tail end of the cylinder to drop down
slightly so that the top of the face of the cylinder sits in at an angle.
The cylinder should not fall completely into the body of the knob (like
picture E, not like picture F)
G
The cylinder will automatically
compress and exit the rear of
the knob - through the shank of
the knob

1Lock Dis-Assembly & Cylinder Removal
2Cylinder Repinning
Schlage’s compressible cylinders can be rekeyed using one of two methods (detailed on back page)
Method 1: (recommended) The new compressible cylinders can be rekeyed in the exact same manner the F-Series cylinders have been rekeyed for decades. To rekey, simply remove the
C-Clip from the back of the plug and use the plug follower to remove the plug from the body. The plug follower is also used to hold the top pins and springs in the body. The bottom pins in the
plug can then be replaced - and the plug reinserted into the body. Finally, reattach the C-Clip onto the back of the plug.
Method 2: The new compressible cylinders can be rekeyed from the top of the cylinder by removing the stainless steel cap – and dumping the bottom pins, top T-Pins, and top springs from the
cylinder. To rekey, simply insert new bottom pins into the holes on the top of the cylinder and then re-insert the top T-pins and springs on top of the bottom pins. Finally, attach a NEW stainless
steel cap to the top of the cylinder body by aligning the holes in the top cap with the holes in the springs. Each spring should encircle each hole on the cap.
Caution: To remove the cylinder
through the rear of the knob, you
will not need to use more than
5 pounds of force (or the amount of
force required to push an elevator
button). If you require more force,
the cylinder is not aligned correctly
for removal. Please refer to steps
E and F for correct alignment.
YES NO

Using U-Shaped portion of key
gauge, press forward to remove
C-Clip cylinder retaining ring
A
Insert & rotate the key 90° and insert the end of the plug follower into
the rear of the cylinder housing - pushing the plug out the front of
the housing. Keep the plug follower in the body to keep the top pins
and springs from blowing. Dump the bottom pins from the plug
B C
Load new bottom pins into the
plug that correspond to the new
key combination
D
3Cylinder Repinning - Method 1 (same as traditional F-Series)
Re-insert the plug back into
the housing and push the
plug follower back out. Finally,
re-insert the C-Clip cylinder
retaining ring onto the back of
the plug
E
Using a screwdriver - or other
small edge - carefully pry off
the steel cap from the top of the
cylinder
A
Dump contents from the top of
the cylinder (springs, top pins
and bottom pins)
B C
4Cylinder Repinning - Method 2 (repinning from the top)
Attach a NEW steel cap onto
the top of the housing - aligning
each spring with the hole in
the cap. The teeth of the cap
should also align with the
grooves on the housing
D
Compress the cap and re-insert the cylinder into the shank of the
knob (plug face first) - aligning the cap with the slot in the sleeve
inside the knob. With the cap aligned with the slot, push the cylinder
the rest of the way into the knob
A
Insert key into cylinder plug,
rotate 90°. Line up slot on the
shank of the knob with catch
on spindle and slide knob onto
spindle
B C
If necessary, depress knob catch
and slide knob on until the catch
pops into the slot on knob. Rotate
key 90° and remove key
D
5Lock Re-Assembly
Align the holes in the plug with the holes in the housing. Load new
bottom pins and re-load the top T-Pins (see inset for correct
insertion direction). Re-load the springs over the top of the thin
part of the top T-Pins
