Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | I'm going to get a new key for my locking door handle on my 1954 3100. It's situated on the passenger handle. I was wondering if I can switch the locking part over to the drivers side it will be easier to lock there... Any ideas Thanks Peter | | | | | | Houston54 Unregistered | | Houston54 Unregistered | You sure can but I would suggest you find another keyed handle and have the locksmith key them both the same for you. That way you have locks in both doors. This is what I did for my 54 and it works great. Cost of keys and re-keying was $65.00 which is much less than a new key set. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | So Houston for now i think I'll stay with just one lock. I don't live in a bad area or leave my truck for long... So i can take the lock button from the passenger side and the regular button from the drivers side and interchange them with out a problem ... that will work great for me. Peter | | | | | | Houston54 Unregistered | | Houston54 Unregistered | Even easier is to just swap the handles. The key would be updside down but would work just fine. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | OK i thought of that too thanks Peter | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 | I moved the locking handle over to the drivers' side and it works fine on my 1954 GMC. That's the door used most often and it is a lot more handy. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | Houston we have new key for my lock....
