There are many videos showing how to
remove the cylinder
from a
Locking Handle for a Screen Door, However, I found the the cam would not turn upwards on my
European Profile Cylinder. There are suggestions to use a paperclip, blade or other thin implement.
But I did not have anything thin enough, so I cut a 100mm length off a small
metal self-retracting tape measure and then cut that in half longitudinally. The result is a thin strip of
metal 100mm x 5 mm, which has a curve matching the lock cylinder. I was
able to slip between the cylinder and lock, then lever the cam up. Be
careful as the metal strip was sharp where it was cut.
Having got the cylinder out, my next problem was that rather than being screwed to the door it was riveted. I used a
Dremel type Rotary Tool with a miniature grinding disk to remove the heads of the rivets.
