Hello,
In general, you would need to remove the inside and outside handles before sliding the thumbturn out of the mortise lock. Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Don't have the key for it

In that case, you may need to have a locksmith evaluate the door to determine the best way to remove the original hardware if it is stuck in the locked position.

Unable to remove the tumbler since the keys are missing.....it looks like best option is to snap the existing tumbler to extract it and what handle/lock replacement would fit this door

If you could show us your original handle set, including written-out dimensions, we'd be happy to confirm if we carry anything similar.
