THE ENTIRE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL PLASTIC

IF YOU HAVE A SOLDERING IRONYOU COULD POSSIBLY "MELT-CUT" THE MIDDLE ENTIRE PORTION OF THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY OUT

THIS MIGHT MINIMIZE DAMAGEAS WITH USING A SAW OR DREMEL TOOL.......WHERE DOOR INTERNALS MIGHT BE CUT

ONCE YOU MELT THRU THE PLASTIC AND SNATCH OUT THE MELTED CHUNKS WITH NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS...........YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO REACH IN THE HOLE AND ACTUATE THE MECHANISM TO OPEN THE DOORTHE SAME WAY THE HANDLE DOES IT

ATTEMPT TO ONLY MELT THE SURFACE AREA OR JUST SORTA SUPERFICIALLYPLUNGING THE SOLDERING IRON IN "DEEP"MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD IDEA.........AS I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE DOOR

AM I GOOD OR WHAT?

LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES
