Can You Replace the Cylinder in a Schlage Encode Series Smart Lock?

Yes, the Schlage Encode Series smart locks feature removable cylinders, allowing for replacement or re-keying. However, the replacement cylinder must meet specific requirements to ensure proper functionality.

Cylinder Compatibility:

  • Deadbolts (Encode BE489 and Encode Plus BE499): The replacement cylinder must be a Schlage Encode 5-pin C-keyway cylinder (Part number 29-273).
  • Lever (Encode Lever FE789): The replacement cylinder must be a Schlage Encode 5-pin C-keyway cylinder (Part number 29-018).
  • Cylinders that don’t meet these specifications may cause the lock to malfunction and will void the Schlage Warranty.

Recommended Uses for Cylinder Swapping:

Re-keying Purposes:

  • If you need the lock to work with a different key, swapping the cylinder is an effective solution.

Lost Keys:

  • If the original key is lost, you can purchase replacement cylinder which comes with a new key.
