How do you separate the lock into it's separate pieces, so that it can be installed? Ken sent me one, but I sure don't see how it comes apart so that it can be re-installed.
Duck tape is an ugly substitute.

Tom,
I was waiting for that. :-)
Took me 13+ years to learn how -- 'til I took it off the door to send it to you.
With the key in the lock, and in the as-mounted postion (catch
upward), look for the little hole near the front (key side) of the
latch. The brass colored bottom in that hole is the "tumbler" which
latches the inner cylinder into the housing. Use a very small
screwdriver to push that tumbler down while pulling the key (and
cylinder) from the housing -- slightly. You may have to depress each
of the other tumblers as they pass beneath the hole. Eventually, the
cylinder will come out along with the key.
Reassembly is pretty much a matter of sticking the key & cylinder back
in the housing, with perhaps a little tumbler depression with the
screwdriver.
After you play with it a little with these hints, you learn some other
tricks, but you should have no trouble from here.
