Do you mean the plate on the body or the catch inside the door?
The one on the body should just be screwed on. The one in the door (depending on what doors it has) will be a PITA.
A photo of what your having trouble with might help.

lots of penetrating oil over a few days then hit it with an impact driver. I have found that this helps with a lot of the stuck philips head screws.
