Amazing. I'd pretty much given up in replacing my old and corroded cylinder....resigned myself to calling a locksmith and paying the $200 show up fee. Lo and behold this worked like a charm....at the cost of a paper clip! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Same here, except I release the pin and it still won't come out. I also notice you say "turn it away from the latch edge of the door" but you are actually turning it towards the edge. I'll keep trying, but this is the best source I've found so far.
Thank you soooooo much! This video saved my bacon (or tofurkey for vegans) :). I was dog sitting for my neighbors and couldn’t figure out how to relock the door after the dogs came back in. 🤦🏼♀️ I would have to camp out next to the door for a week without this video…😄
Thank you. Just received custom doors ordered 4 mo ago. Installer did not know tricky sequence of locking, as key cylinder appears "frozen" if certain latch not depressed, allowing handle to be raised to engage upper and lower latches . I "gotter done," but not before some harsh words to supplier about "broken" hardware.
Great video, but why are the instructions that come with new lock sets so horrible?? Absolutely no mention of even having to rotate the cam? For the price of these things I'd expect better...
I have a keyed 90 degree lock and had to have the key in as well as depressing the pin to turn. I left the key in and the knob on while removing the cylinder from inside leaving knob on. You did not mention this.
Anyone know of a video on how to install the cylinder, i seem to only find videos on how to remove it. I have mine in but cant get the deadbolt to operate correctly
@@umohibomette4850 I did. I eventually was able to get the doors opened with a little force. Removed the entire lock mechanism, opened it up and essentially reassembled it. The thing is practically bullet proof...so forcing it open did no harm. Wasn’t crazy complicated, but took a while to figure out.
@Todd Kvamme I tried forcing the door open, but that didn’t work either. The shootbolt is extended and I don’t want to push to hard, for fear of damaging the door or frame. Do you know what caused your cylinder to malfunction? Was something broken or worn in the lockcase?
@@umohibomette4850 I accidentally forced it when the mechanism was engaged I think. The option you have would be, I think, to remove the hinges, but that is easier said than done...I thought about it and tried, but it was not obvious.

I’ll have to say, excellent instructions! Thank you!
Great video! saved my *(^*& on a job because I've never seen the little slider pin under the thumb turn and couldn't get the lock out. THANK YOU!!!

For those still trying, I turned it away and it came out. Turning it toward the edge didn't work for me. I used modified cell phone SIM pin.
This was a awesome video. Straight to the point and extremely informative. Thank you.

Thanks so much...you saved me with this video

Ha, solved my problem removing the thumb lock so i could replace the entire mechanism.
does anyone know what size and length the primary mounting screw is? i just noticed mine is missing and need to replace
Does anyone know how to remove the thumb turn part if the lock broke with the door locked? We can’t get the thumb turn off and can’t open the door....
Did you remove the set screw?
Great video but doesn't help me. My lock is stuck with the door closed. Any advice??
I'm dealing with the same issue - the thumb lock won't turn to retract the deadbolt. Have you fixed it?

@@umohibomette4850 I just came with this problem too. Were you able to open it? if you did, please let me know. TIA
