Some years ago I posted about replacing an old Schlage interconnected lock<\/a> because the customer wanted a keypad on the door. I used a security wrap to cover the old door prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I did another one. In this case, the customer hated that the doorknob would just spin continuously when locked. This is a feature that confuses a lot of people. Over the years I’ve gotten a dozen or so calls about “broken” doorknobs that were simply Schlage’s G-Series interconnected locks working as intended. Two of these calls came from successive new owners of the same apartment, separated by about three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I replaced the old lock using push plates and a Don Jo CV2414 filler plate<\/a>. This filler plate only comes in silver and my hardware was bronze, so I had to spraypaint it and then hit it with a layer of polyurethane for longevity. The filler plate is made to replace a different kind of lock and is 1\/8″ too wide for the application. I used a razor blade and a chisel to carefully widen the mortise by 1\/16″ on either side. I also had to make the mortise a little deeper in order for the plate to sit flush in the door. I used an ANSI strike to replace the old latchplate. It fit but left just a bit more play in the closed door than I’d have wanted. The locks I installed had a pretty traditional footprint and I used push plates that had lots of real estate above and below them in case the owners might someday want to install a keypad and handleset. If they do, the new hardware will hopefully sit neatly atop the push plates without overlapping the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project turned out nicely but it was custom work that required a lot of time and focus. I’m not sure I’d do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
