Schlage N523-021 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Schlage N523-021 spring cage screw work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. 1-3/4 inches sits inside the 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inch door range this screw is specified for, and 1-3/4 is the standard commercial door thickness, so it's the common case. The bottom of that range, 1-3/8 inches, is the older interior door thickness, and the same screw covers it.
2) Is the Schlage ND spring cage screw flat head or pan head, and what bit drives it?
Flat head with a Phillips drive. A flat head is countersunk, so it seats down into the tapered hole rather than standing proud the way a pan or round head does. That matters on a lever, where the screw sits under trim and anything sitting high keeps the rose from pulling in tight.
3) I'm replacing stripped lever screws across a building of Schlage ND locks. Is one screw enough to cover all the doors?
For ND Series levers, yes, as long as the doors fall between 1-3/8 and 2-1/8 inches thick. The N523-021 covers that whole span, so mixed door thicknesses in the same building take the same part and you can buy one screw in quantity rather than sorting by opening. Doors thicker than 2-1/8 inches are the exception and need a longer screw.
4) Will the Schlage N523-021 screw fit other Schlage lock lines, or only ND?
It's specified for the ND Series lever, and that's the fit to go by. Thread size and length are both tied to that lock's spring cage and its 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inch door range, so for another Schlage line order the screw called out for that line instead of assuming this one crosses over.
5) Is this a genuine Schlage replacement part or an aftermarket screw?
Genuine Schlage, part number N523-021, sold as a replacement part rather than a generic fastener. If you're ordering against a Schlage parts list or a lock that came apart on you, that's the number to quote: #10-32 x 2-17/40 inch, Phillips flat head, for the ND Series lever spring cage.
