What I mean by tongue here is the part that goes in and out when the door is opened or closed.

Deadbolt: How remove deadbolt with no visible screws?

Fri, 25 Oct 2019 22:49:01 -0700

I'm trying to remove a deadbolt. A dozen websites advise to remove the screws on the inside of the door. Mine has no visible screws. Some say if there are no visible screws, remove the cover plate with a flat screwdriver. Mine does not come off with a flat screwdriver. Where one would hope to see screws, mine has irremovable rivets. The deadbolt is of the type with a keyhole on both sides of the door, and the apparatus appears symmetrical.

Kwikset Key-In-Knob Lockset: How do I disassemble the Kwikset Key-In Knob Locket?

I've tried to disassemble it but the cylinder thingy is frozen. It seems to be frozen in the locked position, even though I've used both the key and the thumb lock to try and unlock it.

Door Handle: Schlage FE595 latchbolt stuck

Sat, 03 Apr 2021 13:27:57 -0700

This Keypad Lever with Flex Lock has served well for several years. But the latch bolt, for no obvious reason, no longer retracts on the strike plate when we close the door unless we move the lever. It doesn’t matter if the Flex Lock is locked or unlocked. The outside operation - lock, unlock states - is normal. The door closer can no longer close the door without operating the lever, which renders the ADA door closer function useless. The door, hinges, lock, and door closer work perfectly and the batteries are fresh. Just the latch bolt stops the door from latching by itself when the door closes.
