Thanks, Lonnie,
I saw that thread and it is no help in understanding how to remove the lock that has a non-scewed on clip (as found by chooglin and Bruce and me). chooglin's lock assembly eventually "dropped out" for him, mine will not.
http://tors54.tumblr.com/page/3It looks like chooglin was able to re-use his original clip.
The style clip we have is a friction clip - no screw or screw-on bracket is used (but, one could be used - the screw hole is there but not needed).
I'll try today to remove the lock assembly by slightly bending the edges of the "clip" and trying to push the lock through, towards the front of the door. If the bracket becomes non-reusable, I'll simply put-on a repo escutcheon and repo bracket.
I dislike giving up on knowing how to do something right, but the door needs to be media blasted and primed/painted. I move slowly, but I'm movin on.
In case anyone is interested in this, here are some pertinent links:
The lock retainer that does not have a screw-on retainer bracket. A long and boring set of photos of the two styles of mounting brackets. Thanks,
