Help with Lori deadbolt
Wayne's Locks
notice that their is a crescent shaped opening beside the bolt going in.
You insert a ( I think ) 5/64" maybe 1/16" allen wrench ( long arm ) into
this cavity. You will find a set screw in the cavity. Turn it
counter-clockwise to loosen the cylinder retaining setscrew. Loosen it
enough to turn the cylinder, using a partially inserted key to act as a
turning device. The thumbturn side is the same, you just can't use a key to
turn it. Wayne Wayne's Locks and Etc Oh by the way, If the Lori was
installed correctly, you will have to enlarge the cross bored hole from
1-7/8" to 2-1/8". Wayne

very easy task to accomplish...first take the 2 screws that hold
the latch on the door. look down the sides and you will see i believe 2
----5/32 alan head screws . remove those a couple of turnes.. next stick
your key in the lock half way and loosen the lock out of the fixture.
and do the same with the thumb turn but with your hand. ..very
simple!!! E.T.

Yes, with an adams rite cam. Usually though, on the single cyl, the
thumb turn is attached with screws like most other deadbolts.
Apparently in ths case, someone converted a double cyl to a single cyl
by replaceing the inside cyl woth a mortise thumb turn (quite common).
To the original poster; You'll need an extra long allen wrench to reach
the set screw(s). Most standard ones that size are too short. This is
why all the deadbolts come with one in the box. I've got a shitload of
them laying around.
If you need one email me with your address and I'll be happy to mail you
one.
