Michael Pitman wrote:What you want to do it unscrew the screw half way, then hit the end of the screw driver with a hammer or something heavy. It will start to push the core out of the lock, unscrew the screw until it is almost out and hit it again, you should now be able to ply the core the rest of the way out of the lock body. Be careful of how the parts come out so you can put it back the same way.
If you don't have a lot of patience and don't like to do puzzles, I advise against pulling the core out. It is not easy to get it to fit back together.
Now a little history lesson on this Eagle Lock co. This is not "The Eagle Lock Co." that was in business from 1880 to 1976. This Eagle lock co. was some kind of branch company that started making locks to fill a GSA contract to make so many locks. I have yet to find out what this company was or who own it. The locks were made in the same city as Fort lock co. Fort lock company was the last company to be making the brass body locks.There has been three previous companies who have made the same lock and put there name on them. So I believe Fort lock started another company to fill the contract to the government.
I believe they made this lock. Its the only stainless steel lock that has been made and used by GSA.
