Hi Doug,
I removed my original baggage door lock to install a “Medeco” door lock set from http://www.aircraftsecurity.com.
I can’t recall exactly what I did.
As I remember I was tried to slide a thin wrench to back off the nut securing the lock barrel in from where the finger exited the door assy. I reasoned that if I could loosen the lockset enough I would be able to remove the finger.
That didn’t work so I had to cut a hole in the sheet metal of the inner structure of the door to gain access to the lockset.
I also needed more access to install the Medeco lockset.
I hope this helps,
Steve
Thanks. I saw that as a possibility. With your suggestion, that’s what I’ll do.
Doug
