Arrone thumb turn: removing?
 

I'd like to remove what looks like an Arrone (it's what's stamped on it)
thumb turn from the bathroom door

It looks something similar to:
http://www.kensyard.co.uk/products/f...b-turn-chrome/

I can't see how to remove it. There appears to be a tiny threaded hole
on one side of the thumb turn, but I can't see how that might help, and
there's nothing else that seems to suggest it might help removal. Can
anyone provide any pointers to removing it?

TIA

Allan

No allen grub-screw in there?

if you look closely at that picture, there's two big screw holes, which will
be hiding behind the chrome cover on either side.

These normally unscrew, that is, the entire chrome cover unscrews and they
show the woodscrews holding everything to the door.

Is there a tiny Allen screw deep inside that hole?

Phil L is correct, but you'll have to remove the grub screw as well, to allow the thumb turn to be removed.

to do that you will probably need a very small allen key.

Sorted: No grub screw, but the outer circular plate/cover came off with
a twist (not threaded) and exposed screws

Thanks for the help & advice.
