Schlage Deadbolt Latch Review and Installation Tips – Mr. Locksmith

At Mr. Locksmith, we’ve worked with just about every brand and model of lock hardware out there—and one component we consistently like is the Schlage deadbolt latch. Whether you’re a professional locksmith or a DIYer upgrading your home security, Schlage’s latch design stands out for its reliability and ease of use.

Why We Like Schlage Latches

Schlage deadbolt latches are durable, adjustable, and easy to install. The adjustment mechanism is simple: just twist to toggle between the two standard backsets—2-3/8″ and 2-3/4″. That means no extra tools or parts, and no guesswork. When in doubt, of course, we always recommend checking the instructions, but chances are you’ll find this process straightforward.

Included Faceplates for a Perfect Fit

One thing that makes Schlage latches so versatile is the inclusion of three different faceplates:

  • Rounded corner faceplate (for routed door edges)

  • Square corner faceplate

  • Drive-in latch (for doors without faceplate routing)

Swapping between these is quick and easy, letting you adapt the latch to almost any door without hassle. This flexibility makes Schlage hardware a go-to for residential locksmiths and homeowners alike.

Installation Made Easy

Installing a Schlage latch is as simple as it gets. Once you’ve chosen the right faceplate and adjusted the backset, it’s a matter of sliding it into place and securing it with the included screws. No special tools. No confusing steps.

Final Thoughts

The Schlage deadbolt latch is one of the most user-friendly and reliable latch mechanisms on the market. Whether you’re replacing an old latch or installing a new deadbolt from scratch, Schlage’s thoughtful design makes the job easier and more secure.
