How do you say the last part of Schlage?

Like large or like plague? I've heard it both ways.

shhhlag is the proper pronounciation

listen to this install video by them and hear them say it.

Since Schlage is a German name (Walter Schlage), the proper pronounciation would be... err, well, forget it.

Just say it the way you're comfortable with.

I prefer to pronounce it 'jackson'

Schlage sponsors This Old House and the promo they run says 'shlayg'.

... I've been pronouncing it "Shla-gay" for way longer than I should have. Thanks for enlightening me!
