My front door has a Schlage deadbolt in it, with key-locks on both sides. The key-locks are loose, and have quite a lot of play to them. I'd like to remove the face-plate to get at the screws that (I assume) are underneath.

Unfortunately, I can't get the face-plate off. Any hints? There are two small holes on the plate, which might cover some very small screws, or perhaps some kind of push-pin mechanism. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers!
