Art Lock

[dunnitt]

I have a" Art Lock" double cylinder deadbolt on my outside gate that I want to remove to rekey.
It uses a Kwikset key.
How can I remove the locK? It has no screws on either side to fasten it together.
I removed the plate from the deadbolt,and it had no set screw .

You should be able to remove it by using the same technics to install one, just reversed.

Ya know a useless answer isn't in the spirit of the forums, *cough*

If you could post a picture it would help immeasurably

This picture shows the inside portion of the deadlock.
Note there are no screws or plates to remove.

Gives a shot of the latch face and BOTH sides of the lock.

Both sides,as in the picture, are the same inside and outside .
The strike has two screws which hold on a plate.
I removed these screws and I can see only the bolt ,which won't come out.
Any other Ideas? This is a cheap lock and I would like to remove it to rekey, or even replace.

It looks like there is a cover plate on front of the deadbolt from the picture,
I could be wrong though. Check both sides and see if you can pry up the
cover plate, if there is one, using a screwdriver. If so, you should be able
to see the screws then. Just a guess.

Not an expert, but I have changed out a lot of locks around my house.
If you see posts connecting the two sides, this should be where your screws
line up on the front or back. Worst case, if you have a drill with metal bits,
just make a guess and drill from the front or back around where posts are, and the lock should fall off.
