Schlage Lock & Deadbolt for Prevost Door

Gerry H · May 16, 2019, 08:11:50 AM

Hello all: For years now I've had a commercial grade 1 Schlage 660R lock & deadbolt in my door which I originally installed (not a locksmith) Well it broke one day, welded end came off the tailpiece which I hear is common along with the brass cam follower stabilizer (? part name) breaking into small pieces. A normal repairman type (me) would expect that a parts breakdown along with part numbers from Schlage could be obtained but so far no luck. I would like to repair my original, but if that is no longer possible, I have to look at a new model that will fit my 3"+ door. My 660R was 1-1/4" cylinder so the hole in the siding already exists. Tell me please what type/model of lock you are using in your thick doors. This experience so far has frustrated me looking to repair or replace. PS any retired locksmith's please contact me. Thanks

Our door uses a standard Yale deadbolt which looks similar to yours.

The inner thumb knob was connected to the lock by welding on an extension to the shaft. Otherwise, it's a normal lock.

I had trouble with the lock, so I took it to a locksmith who rebuild it good as new.

Hi Gerry, I had the same lock re-keyed and rebuilt when I first purchased the coach 11 years ago. If you can find the right locksmithy he should be able to rebuild that unit to new. Good luck, Will

I welded an extension to the rod for my door lock. My locksmith was unable to source a bolt system for thick doors, although I think my MCI door is only 2" thick.

Locksmithing has much in common with blacksmithery. Don't be afraid to tinker.

Most any locksmith shop can hook you up.

Check out Bus Grease Monkey's deadbolt install video. He added a little extension for his thick door.

Here's part 1:

LOL that install must be just to hold the door shut when traveling you don't install a lock with screws out for security where anyone can remove those

The mounting screws were installed from the inside, just like any other deadbolt. The two dots on the outside of the lock are not screws, they are the LED lights for the wireless function of the lock.
