Renovation starts here, and it’s easy!

As anyone who’s thought of doing a home renovation knows, it can really take a chunk out of your pocket. It can also be really disruptive with carpenters, electricians, and what-not trekking in and out of your home. That’s why it’s usually a good idea to remodel in phases.

If you want to make a quick update to set the stage for your renovation, consider updating your entry door hardware, interior door knobs, and cabinet hardware. You can do these projects yourself without spending a ton of time on them. Schlage door knobs have been specially designed to last a lifetime and come in a wide variety of designs, so you’ll have the freedom to coordinate every detail of your décor.

Start with your entry door and a keyless door lock. Our customers report success in getting a new keypad door lock installed in 20-25 minutes, with no prior experience required.

• Insert the latch assembly into the latch hole in the door edge.
• Place the keypad assembly on the outside of the door, threading the spindle through the latch.
• Slide the interior assembly onto the keypad assembly.
• Attach a 9v battery.
• Screw on the interior lockface over the mounting plate.

Schlage interior door knobs install quickly in existing doors. Using only a Phillips screwdriver, you can replace your old locks in about 10 minutes each. Here’s a brief how-to:

• Insert the latch assembly into the latch hole in the door edge and screw it in.
• Place the lockset assembly into the hole in the front of the door, inserting the spindle through the hole in the latch.
• Slide the opposite knob assembly onto the lockset until the backplate is flush against the door surface and screw it onto the door.

Check the door to be sure it closes securely.
