I'm on my 3rd one of these darned things. Guess you drilled out the factory rivets to install the new steel bolt? Luckily I've always been able to get inside so I can remove the screws hold the lock mechanism together in the door though.
There were no rivets on mine just screws.. I opened it up. Removed it from the door.. Took the pieces of the broken bolt to a metal smith and he made me a new one.. While he was working on it I used the deadbolt only
Had the same issue with basement locks.. My opinion of tri-mark locks.. Well I don't wish to melt your monitor with the language i need to properly experess it.
