How to remove broken door latch
We had someone try to break into our 5th wheel and they ruined the deadbolt keyhole. We cannot unlock the deadbolt. Any suggestions on how to go about removing the entire latch? It has 2 keyholes,...

Here's the conclusion of my story. I used a 3/8" drill bit and drilled out the deadbolt key. Went in about 1/4" and the bit caught and turned the deadbolt. Pulled it out, door opened. MUCH easier than I thought it would be.
The thieves did get in to my fifth wheel to steal the TV. They used a dealer master key and broke it off locking it back up.
Funny thing, though. They stepped over 2 $1500 bikes, 2 30# propane tanks and other electronics to steal a $250 TV. Nobody said thieves were smart.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions,
