The medeco lock I just disassembled had 4 screws -- two on the edge of the door holding the latch in place and another two on the "interior" side, under the eschushion (sp?) plate -- the flatish part of the lock that actually touches the door. The trick is getting this plate off the door.

The interior knob should have a small notch on the neck of the knob, and there is a spring-loaded tab sticking through this notch to hold the knob on. Press this tab with a flat-head screwdriver or something similarly small and rigid (like an ice pick, or the pointer part of a triangle file.) while pulling on the knob. The knob should slide right off.

Next, look for a similar tab or wire loop sticking out from around the edge of the eschushion plate. Pressing this towards the shaft that the knob just slid off of while pulling (or prying lightly) on the place should make it come free.

Now you should be looking at the final two screws -- take them out, monkey with the "outside" handle for a bit, and the latch should release from the locking mechanism letting the whole knob assembly come free.

Reverse the process to put the lock back.
