Anyone got any idea on how to remove a lock cylinder from a door if you don't have the key to move the cam (the door is permanently unlocked)? I could call a locksmith but surely this isn't so uncommon that it's impossible to do.

Just the cylinder? There's often a cover ring that unscrews or can you remove the whole lock from the edge of the door - usually a couple of screws holding a plate there. Pics might help some proper cat burglar answer.

I've taken all the screws out but I think the cam is slightly engaged which means the cylinder won't slide out (it's loose though).
