Re: Removing Door Lock Knobs.

I doing some work with the Service Counselors for an upcoming project, and I noticed there is an article in the August 1952 Counselor (Vol 26, No. 8) that describes the building of a MacGuiver style heater our of scrap parts. This heater was used to heat the door knobs to 150 degrees which softened the plastic enough to pull if off the barbed metal rod. So I guess the heat method is the Packard recommended removal method for door lock knobs going back as far at 1952.

Please read this Service Counselor (located in the 1952 SC set here on the website) for the article.
