Pat,

"Unfortunately, I don't think you can get the lock out without a key"

Do you mean a blank key or the actual key that is supposed to work that
lock? If a blank, I have one on it's way, if not, I don't understand -
the purpose of removing the lock is to get a key that will work it, not
to destroy it and buy a whole new lock set.

You don't need to drill it out, you just prise underneath it with sharp
diagonal cutters and you can pull the pin out. Use the same pin when
you're
done.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can get the lock out without a key
unless
you drill/destroy the entire lock. Once you insert the key, the lock
turns
to a point where it slides out of the frame.
