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 |

Can anyone provide any pointers to removing it? 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? -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £30a message.
