doorknobdoorslock
We live in a townhouse built in the 40s … probably renovated in the 50s …
I want to replace this doorknob with one that has a key lock.
I can't figure out how to remove it!
I was able to unscrew the ring that holds the large plate against the door, but I don't see how to remove the knob / assembly.
Anyone seen anything like this?
There are no holes/screws on the actual knob/handle part. There's some strange looking hardware behind the plate.
You need to remove the key set section as pictured on the left. It may be very corroded and require a bit of persuasion to split the halves and remove from the deadbolt assembly. Once you have removed the keyway from both sides, there should be nothing but a couple of screws on the striker/jam plate holding the bolt assembly.
If anyone still needs help with this, i finally figured out the right way to remove this type of interconnected lock set. Thanks to Locksmith Ben, who was kind enough to help me on face time :)
There is a tiny square shaped pin, which was spring loaded. i had to push it upwards and pull the knob out.
Here is an annotated picture of my lock
Here is the OP picture I annotated.
