To remove the cylinder you will require a cross-head screwdriver to release the Fixing Bold, which is visible just under the latch on the edge of the door.

  1. Open the Door – Insert key to unlock and open the door. The key should be left in the lock.
  2. Remove Fixing Bolt – Cylinder is held in place by a long threaded bolt/screw. The head of the screw should be visible under the latch on edge of door.

Pull Out the Cylinder – Turn the key while applying slight pressure to the opposite end of the cylinder. As you do so the cam will line up with the rest of the lock and you will be able to slide the cylinder out towards yourself. The key usually needs to be turned approximately 25° clockwise or anti-clockwise
