  As long as the switch is in the Service position, it's trivial. If
you look carefully into the key slot, you can see the ends of the
tumbler pins. Just drill into the side of the barrel and let the pins
out. Or, replace the whole assembly with a three-position rotary
switch. The wiring on the 320 lock is identical to the 530.
