No dice Varj.
I've just dug out the lock and had another look. On the toe side of the lock, just below the drain hole, is a dowel that has been driven into the lock. As the hole is offset from the centreline of the plug, I'm sure the dowel goes into a drilling beside the bible.
If I get some spare time, I'll drill it out.
If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!
