Trouble replacing security deadlock.
We have a security screen door at the front of our house but unfortunately have no key for it so it is pretty useless.
I want replace the deadlock/handle on it with a new set but cannot remove it. I can get the handle and outer housing off but the 'keyhole' section (technical term;) ) will not slide out. There appears to be another latch within the mechanism that wont let me slide out the keyhole and therefore remove the rest of the set......
It is like this one without the finger latch:

Any advice? It appears you may need the key to lock the set to raise the internal latch (or whatever it is) to remove it? Catch 22?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
