BobB Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 There is a set screw accessible through a hole in the end of the door. I don’t mean to imply that it’s easy, though. After 65+ years these fasteners get pretty hard to dislodge. I’ve tried penetrating oil, shocking it with cold, and trying to drill it out. Nothing has helped so far. I did find a locksmith who was able to cut a key without removing the lock. That may be an option for you. There is quite a bit of discussion on the forum on this topic. Hope you find a way that works for yours. If you find a trick that works, please feel free to share. - Bob B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well I looked in the hole and seen what looks like remainder of a small bolt head. I don’t think this will come out without a fight. I guess I’ll have to try to drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Happy to say that I got it out. I ended up knocking the whole collar off that the set screw goes into to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up knocking the whole collar off that the set screw goes into to. taking the collar off might hurt ya a bit in the reinstall. I generally just knock off the weld nut that holds the bolt. I have a thread on putting a shaft collar on to retain the lock after you do so. Should be down below in my sig line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yes that is what I did. Knocked off the weld nut I guess I just called it a collar. But I will have to check that out. I was kind of considering going without the set screw but ill have to see how that goes. It’s a tight enough fit that I have to pound the lock in so I know it will not fall out.
