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)
Cylinder Repinning
2
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.
Before you can begin repinning, you must first disassemble the lock

completely
F
Carefully push the cylinder out
of the back of the knob by
applying pressure to the top of
the cylinder plug face
C D
Rotate key back 90° to original
position and remove key
G H
The cylinder will automatically
compress and exit the rear of
the knob - through the shank of
the knob
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.
