Will Switching from Schlage Connect or Schlage Sense to Schlage Encode or Encode Plus Leave Exposed Holes?

If you're considering upgrading from a Schlage Connect (BE469) or Schlage Sense (BE479) to a Schlage Encode (BE489) or Encode Plus (BE499), you can do so without worrying about exposed holes. Despite differences in interior dimensions, these models are designed to fit standard door preparations, ensuring a seamless transition with no visible gaps or holes.

Key Points for a Smooth Transition

Standard Door Preparation:

• All these Schlage models are created to fit standard door preps, meaning there should be no visible holes after installation.

Interior Dimension Differences:

• Although there are differences in the interior dimensions between the Connect/Sense and Encode/Encode Plus models, the mounting hardware is designed to cover existing holes.
