Be sure the outside knob is unlocked before closing the door.
Schlage locks do not lock the inside knob or lever. After releasing the turn button, also turn the inside lever or knob, then check the outside knob.
What model of lock is this?

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

SOURCE: My schlage door knob lock tumbler stopped working

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.

SOURCE: schlage camelot key pad does

Here is a link to the installation instructions:

http://consumer.schlage.com/Project%20Documents/P515-858.pdf

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.

Is there a special tool for removing commercial locksets?

The spanner tool that Schlage includes with many of their new locks will work on the old ones. Search Google images for "schlage spanner wrench" and you'll see different styles, but they all can be made to work. You remove the inside knob (or lever handle, but let's say it's a knob) by sticking the pin end (or a straightened out large paperclip) into the hole in the knob towards the edge of the door and press in the springy retainer. While pressing in the retainer, pull the knob away from the door. If the pin is all the way in, the knob won't move away more than about 3/32", so after it starts moving, remove the pin and the knob should come off the rest of the way. If the inside knob has a keyhole, then you need to turn the key about 90 degrees, or as far as it will go, before the retainer will move. If you don't have a key, then pick it, or drill the pins so it will turn. If you don't care what happens to the old lock because you are going to replace it, you can cut off the inner knob with a hacksaw. Cut as close to the rose as possible. Once you have the knob off, use the spanner to remove the inside rose trim, and then pull the lock out of the door from the outside.

Our schlage lock with thumbturn on inside and keyed on outside. inside lock position AND outside keyhole are sideways. is this normal??

I've never seen a lock like that was intended to be that way, but have made that mistake when the shaft that goes through the bolt portion of the deadbolt is square and is 90 degrees off in the square hole it goes through. If so remove two screws on the inside and take out assembly with the key hole, position key hole bottom, then put key side assembly with shaft through bolt portion of lock. Test the key to see if it locks and unlocks, maybe you need to position shaft 90 degrees to left or right to work, then put cover on inside house and the two screws.

I just installed a Schlage deadbolt. If I lock it from the outside (using the key) it locks fine, but I can't remove the key without unlocking it. Now What?

Hi Winston:
Is it possible to try this:
- pull the lock from the door while leaving the deadbolt in place
- turn the mechanism 180 degrees.
- re-install and give it a try.
Let me know how you progress.

New deadbolt notworking?

You have the lever that goes from the key cylinder part of the lock through the striker portion of the locking assembly turned part way, either in the wrong direction or not turned enough in the right direction so if you take the inside portion of the lock off and pull the outside portion out of the door and rotate the lever to its proper position and then put if all back together in the correct sequence it should work properly.

Why won't my schlage deadbolt key go to the neutral spot in the lock position to remove the key?

You likely have the lever that goes from the outside portion of the lock through the striker/bolt assembly into the inside portion rotated into an incorrect position when you insert it into the striker/bolt assembly.

How do I fix a Schlage deadbolt. B60 series will not unlock from the inside unless the key is inserted from the outside

With the door open, remove the interior trim (thumb turn) from the door, and using the key, turn the deadbolt to the locked position. Now re-install the thumb turn, in the locked position, and with the key removed see if you are able to unlock the deadbolt. I suspect that the tailpiece (part that sticks out of the lock cylinder and into the thumb turn) is not in the correct position.

Light turns green but door won't open

Hi! I am trying to open this lock with my code, but it won’t open. It keeps blinking green. I didn’t change the code and I know that the red light was coming on for a few days. I think it’s the battery but any tips?

Schlage deadbolt will not unlock even with the use of a key?

it sounds as though the linkage that pulls the deadbolt back has disengaged... if you undo the screws from the inside of the door and remove the manual knob there will be 2 more screws holding the key lock to the door. A thin flat bar is attached to the key lock that goes through the deadbolt and into the manual knob. This bar turns with the key, sliding the bolt on its track to lock and unlock the door. Once the lock is apart check the key in the lock to see if the bar turns when the key does. then see if there is anything that may be obstructing the deadbolt from sliding. The locks are pretty indestructible so if there is a problem it may have been from the install... perhaps the door is to wide for the lock to engage properly and the lock worked loose in the 6 months that it worked.

Single cylinder dead bolt only works with key

You are 180 degreees out of sync with the other side of the bolt. Take it apart and move your key 180 degrees and reassemble and try it. Im 51% sure this is your trouble
