I have a Schlage latch wrench for deadbolts (center tool in photo).
What's it supposed to be used for?

for adjusting a drive in latch by rotating it so it is facing up and down and not cocked off at an angle in the bore hole.

A: The Schlage Co. M504-306 Circular Faceplate Wrench is used to rotate the positioning of your drive-in deadlatch, Also known as round face latch sometimes abbreviated as ‘RFL’, spring latch or deadbolt latch bolts in the edge of the door when working on Schlage A, B & F series lockset latch-bolts.

Excellent. Thanks for finding that. Seems useful enough... and it can double as a bottle opener.
