Removing schlage doublecylinder deadbolt

Removing Schlage double-cylinder deadbolt?


I need to remove my Schlage double-cylinder deadbolt lock in order to replace the screen but there is not way to access the removal screws that I can find. Can anyone help? Here's pics of both sides of the lock - sorry but I could not figure out make the text into a live link: http://aa4m.com/Lock_Inside.jpg Inside of lock. http://aa4m.com/Lock_Outside.jpg Outside of lock. Thanks, Bill Hi Bill, I know it can be confusing, trying to find something that seems to be missing. It's there, really. Use a small pocket sized flat blade screw driver, and Gently, begin lifting/prying on the inside of the lock. The screws are covered by a thin cover. Start prying near the bottom of the Key Hole. Once the cover is off, you will find those elusive screws. You won't miss them, they are pretty big. cuedude That worked . . . THANKS! - Bill
