Schlage Keyed Entry Door Knobs

Choosing Schlage Keyed Entry and Exterior Door Knobs

A keyed entry door knob places the key cylinder in the knob assembly, giving you keyed access from the exterior side of the door. These locks are commonly selected for front doors, side entries and doors between a garage and living space. Before choosing a model, decide how you want the door to operate when you leave and return. Review the product’s locking and unlocking description carefully: an entry knob, a storeroom knob and an electronic keypad knob can look similar while serving different access needs.

This collection includes Schlage F51A keyed entry knob listings in Georgian, Plymouth, Andover, Siena, Orbit, Bell and Bowery designs, along with additional styles and trim combinations. Compare the knob shape and the rose or decorative trim surrounding it to coordinate with your home’s other hardware. Look at the finish options for the exact model you are ordering, especially when matching an existing lock. Keep the full model number and finish code together in your project notes; the same knob design can appear with different trim and operating functions across the Schlage range.

For a replacement keyed lockset, measure the door thickness, backset and existing bore preparation, then check those measurements against the product specifications. Review the latch, strike and included components before assuming your old hardware can be reused. If you want several locks to work with one key, confirm keyway compatibility and the available keying options before ordering. A matching brand name or finish alone does not confirm that two locks can share a key. For doors with a separate deadbolt, compare Schlage deadbolts and check the fit and keying requirements for both pieces.

Choose the function for each room as well as the appearance. A Schlage privacy door knob is intended for interior privacy, while Schlage passage door knobs provide non-locking latch operation for halls and closets. For access by code, browse Schlage electronic and keyless entry knobs and read the selected model’s operating details. If a lever better suits the opening, compare Schlage keyed entry door levers. You can also return to the main Schlage door knobs collection to coordinate different functions across your project.
