Schlage passage lockset, unable to remove either handle
Home Improvement Asked on March 7, 2021
I have what I believe is a Schlage passage lock-set that I am unable to uninstall.
I tried the sharp pin in the hole trick (actually I used a small drift pin). I am attaching pictures. Please notice there are 2 holes in each lever. I applied the drift pin to all 4 holes, even while turning the handle. Nothing works.
I called the Schlage company and spoke to a friendly and polite man. I sent him pictures of the lock and he replied with a totally useless canned installation instruction (So much for the manufacturer being the expert).
Any ideas on how to remove this doorknob would be apriciated. (If not my next trick will be a Sawzall).

The round escutcheon should just be pressed on. There should be a very small slot that you can get a thin, small, flat blade screwdriver into and pry it off. (away from the door).
Once the escutcheon is off, the two screws that hold the mechanism together will be accessible and you can UN-install the doorknob.
