PLEASE Help! How do I remove a Schlage door handle?

Question

I really need to change out my door handles. Both of them are basic SCHLAGE door k***s. One is a locking one and the other is not. I have already removed the k***s on the non-locking one, but I can not figure out how to remove the rosette? part. I have tried turning it to unscrew it and I have tried prying it with a flathead screwdriver and the thing dosent budge..Im not 100% sure on what series these handels are but the face plate has an F on it so i am assuming that it is a series F. PLEASE ANY help is aprriciated.

Answer 1

After you unscrew the handle and then remove the handles(both sides) the middle should be able to be pushed out.  On some doors the rosette has a face plate which needs to be unscrewed.  Maybe it's just tight????

Answer 2

it should come apart...look and see if there is something that you can push in that might be keeping it from slidding off..
