How To Removing Thumb Turn on ABS Door

[jonwestuk]

Hi all,

I am thinking about putting a smart lock on my front door. I want one that keeps my existing ABS lock as I don't trust Tech companies to have robust cylinders but the Smart Locks that I have seen either require a key or for the thumbturn to be removed. My lock has a thumb turn and I can see what looks like a cotter pin or something that seems to attach the thumb turn to the cylinder, but it is slightly suppressed vs the metal of the thumb turn itself. It also does not seem to have any flat head groove or obvious way to screw it out.

So the question is has anyone had experience removing the thumb-turn from an ABS lock?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

I’m not sure you can take a thumb turn off a Euro cylinder

I though smart locks replace the whole cylinder?

My guess is you need to take the thumb turn euro cylinder out….to do that undo the retaining screw in the edge of the door then put key in door and turn it until the euro cylinder locking nib lines up so it comes out.
