Hello again, thank you for your reply / message..

Im not really sure what you mean - ah but , maybe I do..sorry -

The lock unit on this model has to be physically cut in half ...look at the lock unit once you are at it and choose the thinnest part of the lock... Ive always use a reciprocating saw - but you can use a good hacksaw...or grinder / cutter etc...its just that reciprocating saw if you can get hold of one is cleaner and quicker ...

I will give you a picture to help -show you where to cut. Once cut through the lock drops off.. Sorry, Its a while since I did one of these and actually thought that info was in with the above instruction.

So here is the extra pic for you ..

That will help you further to complete the job -

_ Please dont forget to click the OK service rating or higher for me now as thats how Im credited for helping you .. and if you do need anything else you can always get back to me after - ie, clicking the ratings does not close you out..

....... Best Rgds, MIKE.
