sl-a-j is correct...you can watch videos about lockpicking on Youtube or Metacafe and listen there.I don't know anything about falle.

Falle is pronounced just like fall.

Is that so? I thought the knowledge about the correct pronunciation of "John Falle" is restricted to government agencies

Cheers,

I have a program called Talkany and it will say any word you type in..


Falle is Fall

Schlage is S-clay-age


Hope that helps.

Ah, yes, the age old Schlage debate. I have a speech program too; mine sucks. I think an email to a company exec might be the only for sure answer; I know I've seen multiple threads that go on for pages debating this..

I've always pronounced it as SH-LAY-G

Searching google I found this ( http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2qvpp/blog ... chive.html ):

Schlage: Correct Pronunciation: shlāg / SHLEYG

People commonly mispronounce the word "Schlage" like "sledge". Two representations of the correct pronunciation are:

Using the American Heritage Dictionary Pronunciation Key, pronunciation of "Schlage" is written as shlāg.
Using the phoneme set of the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary, pronunciation of "Schlage" is written as SHLEYG.
