Greetings,
I want to change the handle set on a nice front door, but the blasted thing is impossible to defeat! I understand why Sargeant made a set challenging to remove, but come on! I got nearly every screw out (except one, which seems to have broken and theoretically should just pull out) but not a single part will budge, even as I try to pry it out with a crowbar and chisle.
Anyone know where I can go for precise details about removing old deadbolt/handle sets? This one's pretty old, and therefore, pretty tough!
