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.
