How to remove this door handle. I have removed all visible screws but now i stuck. I won’t come off. I think the spindle in the interior face needs to come off but I don’t k ow the trick. Most youtube videos have screws inside which are easy but this one seems very tricky to remove

There is probably a set screw on the bottom of the handle.

Allen wrench. I don’t know the size. You can get a set of them fairly cheaply

Yes thank you aalen key worked. I was looking at it wrong. I thought the screw is inside the whole.

Looks like a heavy lock. Having second thought to install a eufy lock over this one.

Baldwin locks are very solid. Personally, I'd keep it. You could always get it rekeyed if that's the issue.

Yeah i think breaking eufy smart lock is not that hard. The outer plastic will break with a hammer.

The old lock was getting stuck and was hard to open with key

Ah. Yes, they will do that, but they should be easy to clean and lubricate. Something like WD40 should help. It may be very simple if you have the cover plates off.

Looks like i could have replaced the deadbolt keeping the rest of the assembly. But lets see if smart locks provides more convinience
