Yes, I took the screws out that are underneath the caps. But the trim is still held on firmly
This is the trim attached to th pillar between the door (on the right in the picture) and the window. I am guessing it hides whatever the front cap attaches to.
I am looking for a way to remove this trim without destroying it. Anyone with any experience with this? Any help would be appreciated.

The deadbolt slides across into a hole in the door frame. The keyway in the outside handle causes the door handle not to work. Do you have the key for the handle? If not maybe a locksmith can try. I also see that on the picture that Ivank provided there is what looks like an electronic locking mechanism. Maybe it locks itself after a certain amount of time?
On my door if handle mechanism is locked it acts like the handle is not working.
The simplest way is to find something that is light gage aluminum or light gage steel. Something you can cut into a square that will cover the old hole. Should be able to find something at Home depot or Lowes. While you are at the store get some aluminum tape. Cut the metal to cover the hole and tape it with the aluminum tape. That will seal it up just fine. If you want you can add some butyl gasket around the hole before you put the metal on.
