schlage deadbolt removal

Mar 12, 2017 Last reply: 7 years ago 2 Replies

any help with how to remove a schlage deadbolt that has no screws on the interior face? The entire interior face is the control handle (single cylinder) and on the grip part are two pin-holes. I've tried pishing pins into the holes and screwdivers and allen wrenches but none of these are working. Can anyone offer any guidance? thanks


did anyone figure this out? i am having same trouble but IO can't find anywhere that an allen wrench will work.

It's either an Allen wrench, 1/8" or less, and you have to rotate the back plate on the inside of the door slightly to find the inner screws, or it is a tiny flat head screwdriver. Never seen one if these type Schlage deadbolt have a Philips head screw.
