Default How to get a doorknob apart

Does it have any brand names? Perhaps you can take some
pictures, and upload to a free hosting site, so we can see?
At this point, I'm not sure what you're working on.

Picked up a lockset today, just a passage set, no locks.
It's an older
one (ca. 1940s) to match others in the house I'm working on.
I want to
get it apart to clean it up. So far, I've been able to get
one knob and
escutcheon off, but I can't figure out how to get the other
one off. The
escutcheon I got off was held on by a spring and the knob by
a tab in a
slot; the opposite escutcheon is threaded onto the lock
body. And the
knob on that side has no tabs, screws or other obvious ways
of removing it.

Anyone familiar with these? know how to get the knob off?

Mucho appreciado.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I
like it
because it generates considerable business for me in
consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out
there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company
motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
