that's how mine was put in, all i did was set the door on the edge of my work bench and took a rubber mallet to the lock and gently beat the lock (with the metal thing still on it) out of the hole. from there i used wd40 to lubricate the metal thing to where it would slide to the end of the lock, pressed the lock button to slide the metal thing off and i was done. getting it all back together is a different story, i'm still working on that one.
