I have a Schlage FE595 Keypad Lever lock that needs the battery changed, but I cannot remove the cover after removing the screws.

Cannot get the face plate to separate after removing both screws.

There are two Philips head screws that hold the inside cover in place; a manual screwdriver is better than a power one. The screws are positioned close to the 12 and 6 o'clock (12-hour clock) positions around the lever handle. Thus the top screw is below the manual lock; there may be a cover partially hiding the fastener. The manual for the FE595 is available from Schlage here: https://www.schlage.com/content/dam/sch-us/documents/pdf/installation-manuals/23780042.pdf . Make sure to look at the picture for your lock since the manual covers at least three models of keypad locks. A better picture may be in the installation guide here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfimages/cf/cfae64fe-e7be-4146-bc26-4803ec302d5e.pdf .

Try carefully running a utility knife or other thin blade between the inside cover and the rest of the lock housing on the door. You may have some dirt sealing the two sections of plastic together.

I hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Cindy - thank you very much, but I had removed those screws but was limited in my character count on my question so couldn't say that. With the screws out, I can't get it to separate... Thanks again, Mike"

SOURCE: how to change the battery on my BE365-CAM-716 Schlage Keypad Deadbolt

Problem fixed by having my wife look it up on the Schlage website. The deadbolt has a flash memory so your combinations and codes will not be lost when the batteries are changed.

There's a wealth of info under that heading. You will be able to see a PDF file of the original print instructions, as well as a video of how to install the lock. This is useful because there should be a sticker to be found on the backside of the keypad, with the code number ( the programming code) that you need to reprogram the lock. This installation video (fourth item down) will be useful to allow you to disassemble it and view the sticker. This is also a great time to change the 9-volt battery! A battery should last about three years under normal usage.
The ninth item under that same header is a video which walks you through how to reprogram the keypad to your new code, using that program code that you found on the backside of the keypad.

Schlage FE595 lever return spring broke. Can it be replaced?

A local locksmith may well have parts or access to get them. You could also try Schlage direct. They are an expensive unit, so they should be repairable.

Schlage keyless lock lost 6 digit code and no sticker inside either

You will need to take the keypad look off of your
door and record the 6 digit programming code and the two factory
default PIN codes. You then need to perform the factory reset to
erase any codes and restore the lock back to the factory defaults.
This procedure is outlined, as well as the programming of the device, in the attached instructions.

Need to know how to change batteries, I have ten properties with schlage keyless enties

It depends a bit on the lock and how it was installed.

For the Home locks with a panel on the interior of the door, remove two screws and take off the inside cover. These screws can be at the top and bottom or through the plate of the interior door handle. Then remove the 9V battery and install a new one. Put the cover back on and replace the handle, if needed, and the screws. (Do not use a cordless screwdiver - you could overtighten and strip the threads.)

Other installations have the battery inside the panel with the keypad on the exterior of the door. To access the battery compartment, you need to remove the interior door handle or lock. Then pull the keypad section out of the door. The 9V battery will be behind a coverplate on the back of the unit. This cover needs to be pivoted downwards to open the compartment.

The Schlage commercial offline locks (no computer monitoring) use AA alkaline batteries (4 or 8) in a block. The eight battery version has 4 batteries on each side of the block. These are all on the inside of the door. Remove one screw to get the cover off. Then remove two screws to get the battery holder off (this keeps the batteries from coming loose in the block). Replace all of the batteries and resecure both the battery holder and the cover panel.

For the consumer Schlage Locks manuals, see http://consumer.schlage.com/Service-Support/Pages/InstructionandManuals.aspx . For information on the Schlage commercial locks. see http://commercial.schlage.com/electronicsecurity.asp . The manuals are available in the Technical Library for each lock type.

I hope this helps.
