Yikes, not Bob! Yes, the screws come off but also the red cap. Take a photo of insides still attached (the outer door flap handle part) if anything is obviously broken to share. The dead bolt (dinky, pot metal, POS) is on the top right and slides into the door frame. I think your's is (same as mine, Vegas/Axis) Model # 030-0900.
Mine's not failed...yet, but I did just have it open to examine and lube. If the dead bolt is snapped, I would start by removing the spring (needle nose pliers??) and try to work the pieces out.Part of the casting at the door edge is a guide way and may have to be drilled or ground to get to the part that's stuck in the door frame. I'm thinking it's better to destroy the housing THAN prying the door frame open.
