Thank you
Scott

Is there numbers stamped on the cylinder to show you what key is used?

All the locksets I see for sale are 4 unit sets (2 front doors, ignition and glove box). I'd like to have matching locks on all the doors. I've yet to see a replacement cylinder for the clam shell door. Anybody got a line of one??
Thanks

Take the rear door lock to a locksmith with your ignition/front door key and he will re-key it to match. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 506 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 506 | GMONIZ;
Okay. That is an option I hadn't considered. Now I just have to find a capable locksmith....
Thanks
