I have a pair of working door latches which would benefit from a little detailed repair and re-finishing.
However, having stared long and hard, I see no obvious way to dismantle the latch bolts for maintenance i.e. reversibly.
The levers look they might be freed by drifting out the square pivot tubes, but will they go back together again soundly?
Does anyone have experience of how these can be stripped and re-assembled without tears?
I'd rather leave them as they are than risk messing them up.
