HELP...broken key...

[rohi]

Can you turn the knob? if so, put a pin in the hole that you see in the last pic and turn. The pin should push in a spring, and you can remove the knob from the roset.(spring can be tough) Than you can acces the back of the cilinder, where you should see two small screws. undo them and you'll be able to push the key out

From what I can tell from your pictures, the way to remove the knob is to turn the key and then push in the retaining clip through the hole in the collar.

You can't get at the retaining clip any other way. I re-key several of this type of lock a week and if the customer has lost the key, I have to pick the lock and turn the core.

In most kik locksets, the tailpiece prevents the retaining clip from being depressed. You may need to turn the knob to line up the hole and the retainer AND turn the key to allow the retainer to be pushed in AND pull the knob off at the same time. Yes, you need three hands

It looks to me like you need to slightly twist the tabs back and then remove that back plate, the tail should then come out and you should be able to push the key out, dont turn the plug or else when you go to push the key out you will push the plug as well.

Which tabs do you mean? I just don't want to break anymore that I already have.

I finally got it! Thanks for your advice.
