How to I remove this type of door lock without damaging it? No external screws to be seen anywhere, just 2mm dia. pin holes one on each ring that is between handle and door.
A gentle try with a pipe wrench to rotate the wider ring on the right failed to move anything. Any more force will deform the ring.
It has a Yale type of key to fit the lock with keyhole at centre of each handle. Does this type of lock have a name / are replacements available in DIY shops?

They should be i very small grub screw in the handles and you`ll need an allen key or very small screwdriver to releas the handle from the spindle.0

Will try it thanks - I assume this grub screw is reached thru the 2mm holes? as there are no visible screws outside.0
