How to Reset a Schlage Door Lock

Schlage is the maker of home security products including door knobs and security systems. Many of Schage door locks include a keypad that allows a user to program a personal identification number, or PIN, that can be used to unlock the door instead of a physical key. If you’ve forgotten the code or simply wish to reset your Schlage door lock, you can restore it to its factory settings and reprogram the lock. The process is simple but cannot be reversed.
