The Lever Castle Nut Wrench is a small tool that is used to install and remove both the Schlage AL and the Schlage D Series lever locks. This can be done without this tool using a wrench but the tool makes it much easier to accomplish

Schlage AL-Series and discontinued D Lever-Series locks use castle nuts to hold the chassis to the spring cages and to keep the chassis positioned in the door. This causes confusion at times when the lock is being removed from the door because the castle nut is on the spindle hub, hidden by the spring cages, and the person trying to remove the lock does not know it is there. The typical complaint is that the mounting screws have been removed but the lock still cannot be removed from the door. The castle nut must first be removed before the lock can be removed.
