Removing Lock Cylinder

Posted by Craig the Clipper Man On 2016/11/8 13:29:55

The other day my key broke off in the trunk lock. A friend of mine and I tried a number of things to get the remaining key out, but I had to get the trunk open. We finally managed to jimmy in screwdriver, turn the lock cylinder, and open the trunk. Needless to say that the lock cylinder was destroyed in the process.

I have a couple of questions:

1. How do you get the lock cylinder out of the lock case? As far as I can tell, there appears to be no release on the front of the cylinder, but there is a sort of lever in the back of the case. I pried it up, but nothing moved.

2. Do any of you folks have a spare lock cylinder and case that I could buy from you? Kanter charges about $95 for the case, lock cylinder, and medallion (the hexagon that turns to expose the lock). Since I don't need the medallion, we can work out a reasonable payment.

Thanks, Craig
