I have 6 different schlage locks in my house. I took them to a lock smith to get them master keyed. He told me, that they were to cheap to be master keyed. I was surfing the net, and found pins to master key these locks. Who is right, the lock smith, or are the master pins I saw a rip off.

ok, I already got upset with it, so the door has now nice crack in it...:mad: but the lock still holds. we have those privacy locks in every bathroom in our house, that look somewhat like this: [url=http://compare.ebay.com/like/150209704429?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar]New Permanent Bronze YALE Sav. Passage Door Lever Lock on eBay![/url] locks have push/turn locking button on the inside and a slot button on the outside. of course, one in my son's shower got "by itself" locked from the inside. of course, he had to find this at 5:30 am when I was going to work, hence me getting mad at the door and cracking it. anyhow. as of now, I know the lock cover needs to be removed to get to the lock innards. cover plate does have a small notch in it, but there is no spring sticking out and it turns 360 degrees freely. there is a pin in lock handle stud, but it does not press in. I tried turning outside knob with a screwdriver inserted into the slot, it does not turn. short of - when I return back home from work - taking a prybar and whacking that cover plate off the lock, how else do I remove it? Other locks in the house, that came from same manufacturer, do have locking spring protruding from a small hole in the plate, and plates do not spin, this one simply spins around without major resistance. good lock though. took my 275 lb bravely a few times :wall::wall::wall: until door started cracking...
