Yup, tried that, but somehow the wrench wasn't able to turn the plug, so I pushed it into the upper section of the keyhole, but facing the handle not towards the top, but towards the left side of the lock. Then it worked just fine.

That's right :D


Anyway, assembled it completely with spools and picked it.
The most difficult part was the back pin.
