Title: Door Locks
Post by: Sierra4x4 on February 19, 2003, 07:05:00 pm

Ive never been able to use the key to unlock my drivers door. Ive sprayed inside with PB blaster and tried to make it work, but it aint. Ive had the door apart and tried to mess with it but nothing. Anyone ever swapped these out? Where do you even go to get new locks? Wonder if I could just swap the passengers and drivers out? It looks like there is a small locking clip over it (and everything else) i bet it will be REALLY easy to get off when the time comes. I need this fixed.

you can take your locks out of your doors to a locksmith and have them re-keyed or re-coded to whatever you want. It's easy to remove them from the doors.

Yeah i figured that was my two options. I doubt they will be that easy, i tried to get it off once before and the little lock pin seems to be nice and rusted. Ill give it another go here pretty soon.
How much did the new locks run ya?

They where only around $15 dollars for my locks at Auto Zone. You mention the lock pins? you should be able to slide the clip that holds the cylinder to the door skin. The little arm that actuates the lock in the latch stays with the cylinder. It is much easier to remove after it is out.
