LSDA Dead Bolt Removal

Removable Faceplate

• 1

  Locate the small notch on the edge of the decorative faceplate. Slip a small screwdriver into the notch; pull back on the handle using the door as resistance to pry off the faceplate.

• 2

  Insert a 5/64-inch Allen wrench into the small hole next to the dead bolt and loosen the set screw without removing it.

• 3

  Push the door key halfway into the lock cylinder and turn it counterclockwise; this will unscrew the cylinder from the dead bolt lock assembly.

• 4

  Remove the two Phillips head screws inside the lock cylinder cavity that attach the thumb lock to the bolt assembly. Pull the thumb lock off the door.

• 5

  Find the screws inside the hole where the thumb lock was located; unscrew them to remove the front part of the dead bolt from the rest of the dead bolt assembly.

• 6

  Take out the four screws fastening the plate on the edge of the door where the deadbolt extends through and pull the dead bolt straight out.

Non-removable Faceplate

• 7

  Insert a straightened paperclip into the hole on the side of the thumb lock to release the thumb lock knob. Pull the thumb lock straight off the door.

• 8

  Push a small flathead screwdriver underneath the edge of the thumb lock cover plate and the door; pry off the plate.

• 9

  Remove the two Phillips head screws and pull the outside and the inside dead bolt assemblies from the door.

• 10

  Open the door and remove the two screws that attach the dead bolt latch plate to the edge of the door. Slide the dead bolt assembly from the door.
