Is it definatley a separate plate? can you tell its a part put on? f so it will come off, if you dont mind destroying it start useing sharp tools where theres a hole underneath.

Try your best not to damage the chambers (holes)

I hate to suggest all this but your new and stuck so im just trying to get you back on line.

See if you can prise a small screwdriver in the end and prise it off or on the other end and slide it out.

So thats what the problem was, the spring was stuck in the plug.

Try and carefully straighten the plate out (flatten) and you should be able to gentally and lightly hammer it back in, then repin the lock as you would normaly

If not theres a recent thread around on what you can do/use instead.

Glad your now sorted.
