Cylindrical Lock

Key Override Option (CEx100)

You will need the lever removal tool or similar and one of the keys to complete this step.

1

Insert the key into the cylinder.

2
While turning the key (up to 90degrees), pull on the lever while pushing and inserting the lever removal tool into the tiny hole on the side of the lever.

💡Note, some force may be required during this step. You will feel the locking mechanism release and you will also see the lever start to pull off the shank.

Lever Disassembly

If you need to disassemble the lever to replace the cylinder or any other lever component, these steps may be useful.

First, here are the parts of the keyed lever.

1
Simply grab the lever as you would if turning to unlock your door.

2
Use your thumb to apply pressure directly to the cylinder.

3
The retainer will be the first piece to release. You can then remove the retainer and cylinder completely.
