I was wondering if it is possible to get a key made for the orig. door lock on my '49 3100.I would really like to use the lock but I've never had the key.There appears to be a four digit number on the lock cylinder.Is this the lock code for the orig. key?Would this be something a locksmith could do or is there someone who specializes in vintage auto locks and keys?Thanks,Chip Watford

The ignition key must not match your door lock cylinder. If that's the case, pull the cylinder from the door and take it and your ignition key to the lock smith and have him rework it so they work together. He will also clean and lube if for you too,

If you get no luck locally I have had Eric Jarvison do some work for me. He has original keys. He advertize's in the VCCA magazine. If you do need to contact him let me know and I'll round up his address/number.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

I took the special, "Authentic GM" key blanks I ordered from JC to the local locksmith so I would have a couple of extras and he said he had the same ones on the rack if I ever need more. He also said that all he needed was to see the lock cylinder to cut the new keys.

For what its worth...on my truck ('42 PU) there was a code stamped on the inner cylinder that the locksmith could cross-reference. He made me a new set of keys from that code.
