Since I removed the 2 inside screws the our side door know is lose, it
comes out partially (no sticking due to any point). It slides about 1/2
inch or so out and get stuck, as if something is holding the exterior
part from being pulled apart.

I can't remove the door from the hinges easily as the door as some heavy
duty, spring load hinges.


Hi George,

Since have you tried to forcibly hammer it out? Since the lock is trash now
anyway, it's worth a shot.

You might also try posting your question on 'alt.locksmithing'.

Good luck,
