| | | 1909—Schlage’s first patent Walter Schlage’s first invention, patented in 1909, was a door lock that turned lights on and off. 1920—The first Schlage shop In about 1920, Mr. Schlage left his employment at Western Electric and opened a shop at 229 Mirma Street. He soon moved to loft quarters at 461 Bush Street (now the heart of the San Francisco Financial District). It was here tools for manufacturing the first lock with a push-button locking device centered in the door knob were designed and produced.
Early 1920’s—Schlage advances cylindrical pin-tumbler locks In the early 1920’s, Walter Schlage advanced the concept of a cylindrical pin-tumbler lock by placing a push-button locking mechanism between the two knobs.
1923—Schlage goes into full-scale production In 1923, Mr. Schlage moved his fledgling company to new quarters at 49 Shotwell Street, where he went into full-scale production of the push-button lock, which was destined to revolutionize the door lock industry. 1926—Bayshore Blvd. Plant is open for business Confident of success, Mr. Schlage purchased a tract of two and half acres in the southeast section of San Francisco, known as Visitacion Valley. There, on Friday, June 25, 1926, the first unit of the San Francisco plant on Bayshore Boulevard was formally dedicated and declared open for business.
1940—Schlage named a “Modern Pioneer” Six years before his death, Walter Schlage was honored and received the Modern Pioneer Award given to outstanding American inventors.
1946—Walter Schlage dies
1950’s—Schlage expands through acquisitions
The company began a period of expansion in the early 1950’s. It acquired California Lock Company to add a low-cost lock to the product line, Peabody Company from custom door hardware, and the LCN Closers to round out a more complete range of door hardware offerings.
The Bayshore buildings closed around 1999. They included six vacant one-to-three-story industrial buildings, and a seventh building that formerly housed the company offices. There were also several smaller buildings that formerly served as storage sheds and a security office. In total, approximately 470,000 square feet of floor area

In 1999, Home Depot planned to buy most of the lot but after a number of community meetings, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a zoning control measure barring construction for one year of any commercial building larger than 65,000 square feet on the former Schlage site. Better that it stay abandoned for another 10+ years! Thanks San Francisco!
