I have an Schlage exterior F-series handleset that a DPO must have installed wrong and twisted the thumb-push mechanism (the square tube that actuates the latch). I took it apart and bent it back close to original so that it works, but they also managed to crack the female fitting for this tube where it enters the interior handle. Again, I have it working quite well, but it takes more thumb pressure than it should and who knows how long it will last?
I cannot find anybody on the web listing Schlage small parts. Clearly I could go out an buy a new interior and exterior handleset (Plymouth oil rubbed bronze) for a couple hundred dollars, but these parts are replaceable and I would prefer to do the work myself.
Do you know of any supplier of Schlage parts? Thank you in advance for any information you may have.
best,
