This afternoon, as I was about to close and lock my A127TH, the dead bolt slipped completely from the lock. Whatever mechanism that extends and retracts the dead bolt no longer works. I can reinsert the dead bolt, but no action. Neither the key or the red dead bolt lever activates the dead bolt.
The other lock works fine.
How do I fix the dead bolt?
How do I remove the red dead bolt lever? Does it simply pull off or not at all. I don't see any type of set screw. I tugged on it but wouldn't come free.
I would like to avoid the cost of replacing the entire locking mechanism, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
