I replaced the ignition with a new switch from local store, so that leaves me with no key for the passenger door and the glove box. Were all three locks keyed the same, or was there different keys? Is there a way of getting a key to fit the door and glove box, or will I have to get new locks? Any input would be appreciated, thanks. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Take your locks to an older lock/key shop. My local "old" guy rekeyed two of mine and gave me extra keys for $15 last year.
...there are numbers on most locks and if you get them they can cut them on a took they have. No problem. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Yes all were keyed the same. As Alvin said, there is a number stamped on the housing of the door lock. And if you can't find a lock shop with an old code book, I have one. PM me the code and I'll tell you the cut. The locksmith will be able to make one from that. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | .
