To remove the lock on a KAWNEER 1686 style bar to access the outside set screws:

1. Remove the end caps from the device.
2. Remove the latch mechanism.
3. Disconnect the rollers and the rod pin from the paddle.
4. Push the paddle back and drop the connecting rods down to clear the dogging unit area.

This process gives access to the internal components, including the outside set screws.
