Help! Euro cylinder stuck (with key inside) and struggling to remove gearbox

[Tim221]

Was there a notch on both sides of the barrel for the anti snap? If only one side ( should be exterior side ), then youbmaybbe able to snap it from the other side

Thanks again for your help. I hoped I would be able to snap from the other side but the UVPC handle can’t be removed from the other side, and I’d rather not rip the handles off just yet

What's stopping the handle from coming off?

There’s nothing screwing it in on the exterior. I’ve moved the handle away from the barrel just enough to see it’s also got the same notch line as interior so will be the same problem if i snap from outside

The screws from the inner handle go through the door and screw into the outer handle, if the inner handle is unscrewed then there should be nothing holding the outer handle on other than just being slipped onto the spindle, the spindle will need to be pulled out also to get the gearbox out

From the first photo, it appears that the spring mechanism from the handle is stuck on to the spindle...

A couple of hammer taps should release it!

Thanks. Spindle won’t come out the door despite lubricant and hammer?
