REFLECTOR: Door lock

[Ron Brown]

There is a way to do away with the pin that sticks through the outside of 
the door.

There was an addendum in my 1999 plans that shows how to do it.  It requires 
a modification to the door locking (not key lock) mechanism.  In essence, 
the key lock lifts the vertical lock from outside.

John, it sounds like yours was modified but the lift lever that sticks 
through the door was not cut off (the builder might have been nervous about 
depending on the key lock doing the job every time - since this is the ONLY 
way in with out doing some damage to the door).
