Can anyone point me in the direction of having my lock removed or cut down so I can hand my arm out the window comfortably? Damn thing is exactly and uncomfortably in the way!!!

Jim there are supporting vendors here that sell the lock knobs youre after
Do a search for them.

 

I also saw a thread on this (maybe another board???) where people were cutting them down.

 

Here is where to get the smoothie lock knobs

After getting the stubby door locks I still cut the rod (need to give credit where credit is due my husband cut the rod) with a hacksaw just a little, so they were more level with the door ledge. Works out great!!!!

 

i took the dremel and a cutoff wheel to my rods when i put on my smoothie knobs. took maybe 1/4" off the rod, and now the smoothie knobs are just above flush when locked. they stick up like a bump, and i can't feel them at all.

 

I need to do this ASAP!

 

When you remove them, be sure to pull up and twist counter-clockwise.

 

A good sidecutter will work to cut te rod also.

 

why not just leave them out and find a nice way to plug the hole?
