How do I (dis)assemble a cylinder lock?

Remove cylinder lock

(Dis)assembling a cylinder is particularly easy. You only need a Phillips head and possibly a flat-head screwdriver.

Step 1: Unscrew the fitting on the inside of the door to create some space.
Step 2: On the front side of the door you will find a screw at the height of the cylinder. Remove the screw completely from the door. The other screws can remain in place.
Step 3: Now insert the key into the cylinder and move it slightly to the left or right. If all goes well, you will feel the cylinder release and pull it towards you. The cylinder will not release? Then you probably need to loosen the door fitting a little, you can also try it on the other side of the door.
