How to remove glass sliding door lock?

Hi, I would like to know how to remove a glass sliding door lock which I cannot see any screws around it. To lock and unlock simply moving the handle up and down. I would like to remove it since there is no key.

Hi @quynhpham55,

 

My first guess would be that the screws are hidden under these caps. Take a flat head screwdriver and try to prize the caps off. If they're not caps, let me know.

Hi, I have a look at that cover, when I open the cover I can see a screw there, but when I move the handle from open to close position then that screw is also moving. I am a bit scared to un-screw it.

@quynhpham55,

 

Are the screws moving (attached to the handle), or is the handle sliding over them and obstructing your view?

I am not sure. when I move the handle then the screw is also moved.

Those two covers and screws locations are classic for those that hold a patio door lock together @quynhpham55. In the absence of any other screws or covers that you could pry open, I'd say they are the one's you're looking for.
