    When replacing the door lock cylinders, how do you get the part that actually turns the lock off? That part doesn't come with the new cylinders.

    -you have to take the part that turns the lock from the old lock. It is held on by a small spring, so with a needle or something, -force the spring to the rear; then that part can turn 90 degrees and slides out. -have done this to 8 locks.

    I would say the tail not go back on easily, but after you do a few you get the hang of it.
