Our lock cylinders, including the dead bolt, had to be replaced due to a safety recall. The mfg sent the cylinders and instructions. I forget the exact instructions, but you had to turn the lock a certain way and pull the cylinder out. Perhaps you did this by accident? I'd try putting the cylinder back in, turning the key, and see if it comes out again. As posted, the whole mechanism isn't really that pricy anyway.
that is my guess also. borrow a master key to replace it properly.

- MH or TT? MH door lock assemblies are around 70 dollars, I suspect one for a TT would be a bit less. Finding parts without taking it apart and looking, who knows?
