Hello @loon88 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your door lock.

On your second picture you will notice a round hole with a plastic insert at the top of the handle. This plastic insert is covering the screw which will allow you to disassemble the door handle. I suggest using a small sharp flathead screwdriver to pop off the cover. You will also notice the same type of plastic plug at the bottom of the handle. Once these plugs have been removed you should be able to remove the screws holding the handle in place. I suggest looking at the Stanley 3 x 45mm Slotted Screwdriver or the Stanley 3 x 75mm Standard Tip Essentials Screwdriver.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks for the very speedy response, Eric. I have tried unsuccessfully (with the tip of a knife, and also a small flat screwdriver) to remove the plugs. Hardly any gap for a tool to be inserted.

I will give another try tomorrow.
