The tumblers in my walk through door lock broke in the locked position, of course. I removed the plate from the inside of the trailer with the four screws, but can't figure out how to get the broken lock out. I would be grateful for any advise on how to remove the lock. Thank you!!!!!!!

Likely, there are two screws on the edge of the door that need to be removed. The door has to be open for this.. Use a screwdriver to retract the lock bolt.

Thanks for the comments. I drilled it out, which worked perfectly. As soon as the drill bit was thru, the door opened easily allowing me to remove the two screws on the inside of the door and the lock popped right out!
