The Schlage residential door knob or lever latch has three backset options: 2-3/8″, 2-3/4″, and 5″. These backsets can be found on residential homes or commercial buildings. To enable the locking function on a Schlage Custom door knob, insert the privacy pin and turn to secure it. To return the door knob to non-locking function, remove the att. lock.
Non-locking, passage function door knobs are suitable for interior hall and closet doors or for pairing with a deadbolt lock on exterior doors. Schlage keyed entry door knobs provide both security and convenience to homeowners, with a locking mechanism that requires a key for entry. For exterior doors, Schlage recommends using a Schlage keyed entrance knob in conjunction with a deadbolt or explore Schlage handlesets.
The extra long 5″ backset is compatible with Schlage F-series entry locks but will not fit A-series locks. Standard backsets are either 2 3/8″ or 2 3/4″ backsets, with the most common being 2 3/8″. The door backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8-inch bore hole for the door knob, lever, or deadbolt.
Fraselt offers complete deadbolts in Schlage keyway with a two-inch backset. The levers only come in a passge/non locking function, with the door handle locking/unlocking from the exterior with a key while the interior locks with a turn-button and unlocks when the door handle is rotated.

I wasted a couple hours trying to figure out how to move both discs so they would line up at a 2 3/8″ backset. I had to read Jacks comments a few times and even thought he was wrong. Jack is 100% correct here. If you have been rotating them like I was, rotate them back so you have a square hole at 2 3/8″ AND 2 3/4″. The device is made to work with both but the directions from Schlage are shitty on this one topic. Big thank you to Jack!
How would this lock prevent a home invader from entering when their is a window next to the deadbolt that they can break and turn the knob? Just wondering as I had learned that deadbolt that uses a key to open is a home invader can not break a window next to the door and turn the deadbolt. Since the key is not within reach or view, then the invader would not get access. Thoughts? Maybe this is addressed using this touch keypad?
Actual Schlage Door adjustment for 2 3/8″ to 2 3/4″: Ok turns out it is a really simple adjustment but total fail on Schlage’s article not to actually show how it is adjusted for either length. Looked around at a bunch of articles and 3 pages of a Google search (I mean com’on should we really have to go past the first page these days?!) ~ Do not try and turn either of the parts that the knob “bolt” goes through (this is where I got stuck for a while thinking it must be something to do with it) ~ ****SLIDE the square C shaped piece towards the back of the lever latch, might need to use some force as it has to bump over a grove*** ~ Which square C shaped piece? The one you can rotate 360 degrees and holds the latch back (open) at 180 degrees. The other one has stops and will only make it about 80 degrees and then come back ~ Proceed to get made at the internet that no one has posted this simple explanation before.
