Will you be breaking this every Sunday morning from here on out?

 

[Strk]

remove it and install a new one

 

[IronWing]

Anyway, unscrew the plates on the handle or lock mechanism, remove lock mechanism, use screw driver to pull bolt out of frame.

You can't remove the knob (or lock if free standing deadbolt) and expose the big round hole that goes through the door?

i can remove the knob. but the thing that goes from the door to the frame i can't get out.

this thing


i can pull out the other side of the knob. it just has the horizontal thing in the picture i can't get out.

turn the part with the rectangular hole on the inside of the shaft. a flat screwdriver should do the trick.

tried that. it does not pull the part that is sopposed to slide out of the frame and allow the door to open. it just stays inplace.


also thats just to lock or unlock it.

You had to have cheated when you say you beat that key game posted up earlier this month.

Remove the other side of the knob so that center post is gone. Then try to hook the slider with the screwdriver and slide it away from the frame.

This is one of the easiest things in the house to fix.
Just fix the fucking thing.

 

[biggestmuff]

Yeah, remove the other side of the knob, then the bolt should be able to retract.

also needs to be painted. sad part is i painted it 3 years ago!

how the fudge it gets so dirty so fast..

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Sorry waggy, time to turn in your tools. Form follows function. If you can't figure out a door lock...well.

 

[waffleironhead]

At this point it may be necessary to remove the door trim and try to push the bolt back into the door.

Hopefully one of them can help.

Oh my god some people have problems with basic thought processes. Pop the pins out of the hinges with a punch or screwdriver, and pull the hinge side of the door out of the frame.
