How do i remove the plugs covering the screws on the schlage deadbolt?

There are two Philips head screws that hold the inside cover in place; a manual screwdriver is better than a power one. The screws are positioned close to the 12 and 6 o'clock (12-hour clock) positions around the lever handle. Thus the top screw is below the manual lock; there may be a cover partially hiding the fastener. The manual for the FE595 is available from Schlage here: https://www.schlage.com/content/dam/sch-us/documents/pdf/installation-manuals/23780042.pdf . Make sure to look at the picture for your lock since the manual covers at least three models of keypad locks. A better picture may be in the installation guide here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfimages/cf/cfae64fe-e7be-4146-bc26-4803ec302d5e.pdf .

Try carefully running a utility knife or other thin blade between the inside cover and the rest of the lock housing on the door. You may have some dirt sealing the two sections of plastic together.

I hope this helps.

1. Remove the two screws on the back plate.
2. Disconnect the battery
3. Remove the two screws on the inside of the lock so that you can remove the entire lock.
4. Once you have removed the lock from the door take the backplate in hand
5. Right above the orange plastic piece there is a small black egg shaped cam.
6. Turn the black egg shaped cam to the side and then turn it back down so that the arrow is pointing down.
7. If you do this right the deadbolt will stay in the unlocked position. The deadbolt will not retract when you turn the cam because it should be completely disconnected
8. Once you do this correctly you will reinstall the lock in the unlocked position.

This also will fix the light not coming on when you press the Schlage button.

Get an old chisel or very sharp small screwdriver. The screws are covered by a plug that has been hammered in.You will need to pry these out to show the screws.Rotating while prying is best.

To change the battery on the BE365, you need to remove the inside cover by removing the two screws (one above and one below the deadbolt knob). Be careful to tuck the wires inside the lock so that they will not be crimped when you put the cover back on.

Do you here a beep and see a flashing light? Usually if pressing the Schlage button unlocks the deadbolt, your installation was done improperly. The cam on the base plate must be vertical and the bolt must be correctly installed.

You will always be able to lock and unlock the deadbolt with the inside thumb knob.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry. These are small plastic plugs on your double cylinder deadbolt. These are just held in through friction. Just take a small screwdriver and pop them out. Factorylocks.com can help you with your Schlage hardware needs.

a small set screw on inside knob. need an allen wrench

the inside has a push on plate to cover the screws, a little difficult to get off

There should be caps over two screws above and to both sides on the interior key cylinder. Carefully use a pointed tool to pry them out. This will expose the phillips head screws that hold the two halves of the lock together.

there are 2 buttons on 1 on either side of inside key slot.. those must be removed... more than likely you will destroy them when removing..under you will find square drive screws or phillips..https://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/B62FFF.html

Schlage B160 - need small screwdriver to insert at bottom of faceplate to pry cover off. Face plate appears flush, but with a penlight you can see the recess at the bottom to pop it off. Screws lie under the cover for disassembly. Seems to be a lock design improvement once you figure out how to remove the faceplate.
