Schlage

Schlage is an American brand of door locks, door hardware, and related access-security products. Its history dates to 1920, when Walter Schlage opened his first shop. The company’s current brand story centers on protecting homes and making everyday access convenient, while its product range serves both practical security needs and interior style choices. The brand sells mechanical door hardware, electronic keyless-entry locks, and connected smart locks. Its mechanical offerings include deadbolts, door knobs, levers, and handlesets in a range of designs and finishes. Electronic products allow entry using access codes, while smart-lock models add features such as remote control, monitoring, built-in Wi-Fi, home-automation connections, and compatibility with selected smart-home platforms and devices. Examples highlighted by the brand include the Sense Pro, Arrive, Encode, Encode Plus, and Connect product families. Schlage markets products for residential doors and also describes electronic lock features suited to homes and offices. The company website emphasizes security, durability, design choice, and ease of use. It also presents remote access-code management and scheduling for vacation-rental hosts and staff. The brand states that its locks are trusted in more than 40 million homes; this is a company-reported figure. Schlage is part of Allegion plc, a security-products company. The supplied official pages document the brand’s products and history but do not specify its headquarters, a complete list of operating markets, or current brand executives. The brand remains active, with its current product offering spanning traditional door hardware and connected access technology.

Schlage’s history began in 1920, when founder Walter Schlage opened his first shop. The brand’s official account links that origin to a continuing focus on design, engineering, and craftsmanship. Over time, Schlage developed into a familiar name in residential door hardware and locks. Its current product range combines traditional hardware with electronic access products, reflecting the shift from purely mechanical locks toward keypad, touchscreen, and connected locking systems. The brand’s mechanical assortment includes door knobs, levers, deadbolts, and related hardware in multiple designs and finishes. Product pages show styles such as Bowery, Georgian, Plymouth, and Siena, with options for different door uses, including bed-and-bath and hall-and-closet applications. This combination of functional hardware and decorative choice is part of Schlage’s presentation of the brand: products are intended both to protect a home and to fit its style. Schlage’s electronic products offer keyless access through user codes, with some models also offering touchscreen entry. The brand’s smart-lock range adds connected features. Its official product pages describe models with built-in Wi-Fi and remote control or monitoring, as well as products that connect with home-automation systems. The Encode Plus is presented with Apple home-key functionality, while the Connect deadbolt is positioned for Z-Wave home-automation or security systems. More recent products named on the brand homepage include Sense Pro, promoted for hands-free unlocking using Schlage Converge technology, and Arrive, described as a Wi-Fi smart deadbolt. The brand also presents access management as useful beyond ordinary household entry. Its homepage describes remote management of access codes and schedules for vacation-rental guests and staff. Schlage states that its locks are trusted in more than 40 million homes; this figure is a claim made on the brand’s website rather than an independently established total in the supplied material. Schlage is part of Allegion plc. The supplied official pages establish the brand’s founding year and product direction but do not provide a detailed corporate acquisition chronology, headquarters, named current executives, or a comprehensive account of geographic markets. The brand is active and continues to offer both conventional door hardware and newer electronic and connected lock products.
