Have schlage lock with thumbturn on inside and keyed on outside. When unlock inside, knob turns freely as if it is really unlocked but if I close door, I get locked out. Please help or advise
SOURCE: i have deadbolt segal lock that was working for 2
Sounds like the tumbling mechanism for the handle may be off......check to make sure that the screws are tight that lock the front and back of the deadbolt together. Make sure that the door is fully closed and check to see where the deadbolt is hitting the striker. It mat be as simple as the door and frame have expanded a bit and the door is not fully seated when you close the door from the inside. See if these help if not please contact me as I wish to find a solution to your problem.
Thx

if the cylinder in the lock is not turning anymore when you put the key in -- then there could be a stuck pin inside the cylinder. use a teflon or silicone based lubrication and spray into the key hole and cycle the key in and out a few times and then spray some more lube in and cycle the key some more,, spray one more time and let it sit for awhile --- after sitting for awhile, try the key again.
if it still wont turn the cylinder then it needs to be rebuilt,, take the lock down to your local locksmith shop and have them rebuild the cylinder to the key you want. the cost of this is only about 8.00 to 10 dollars ( depending on where you live ) and it only takes about 5 minutes.
now there is also a chance that the lock might have another issue going on here --- if you remove the knob from the door and with it in your hand, try the key and see if it turns left and right,, if it does turn then the problem is not the cylinder but the thumb turn part of the lock jamming up,, you can also take the parts to the lock shop and get a replacemnet pretty cheap.
one more thing to check is to make sure the lock is not to tight on the door -- and what I mean by this is that on some hollow doors they get squished in to the point where the lock/unlock part of the lock drives into the thumb turn part and it has way to much pressure on it. again - if you remove the lock from the door it should all be pretty clear what is the problem here.

Here is a link to the installation instructions:

It sounds like you may have the Turn Lock Feature disabled. View and scroll down in the instruction sheet to the Troubleshooting portion, where it says " Pressing (the) Schlage (button) does not rotate deadbolt" The solution is to push the PC button, then the Schlage button, then 7 to enable the turn lock feature.
