Mike, When I first attempted to remove my early style locks about a year ago, I first called to DMC Texas to find out how to remove them. The gentleman there who answered said that the way their technicians removed them was by breaking them. He also said that they would be producing new locks in about a month or two. They did not have any available at that time, and luckily I ended up finding a new set of locks by posting to this list. Someone responded who still had an NOS pair of locks in the original packaging. Since you know how to remove them, I'm sure everyone would benefit if you posted a HOWTO publically, and then maybe Dave S. could put it on the dmcnews site in the tech section. I haven't heard of anyone being able to remove the early style locks without damaging them; at least not without cracking the plastic outer ring. I'd like to congratulate you for your know-how. thanks, Matt #1604 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, mike clemens <rmclemns@xxxx> wrote: > Matt, > > Due to the cost involved for new locks, I disagree > with your statement that you can "plan on destroying > them". I've had my locks out on 1630 (both sides) 3 > or 4 times and I still haven't "destroyed" them.
