carl0s Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Okay since I now have Brian (Soop Dog)'s old door on my passenger side, my key obviously doesn't fit it. What's the deal? New barrel or can I have the existing one "altered" to fit my key? anyone have any idea of costs? the old barrel was shattered thanks!

Chase Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 You mean you use the key to unlock the doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 hehe no but it's an odd thing to have to explain if I ever *do* come to sell the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 You might need whole new locks from a damaged car, ignition, doors and boot etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I'm not certain about Toyota, but most manufacturers will sell lock kits that come with all the sliders you need to make any lock suit any key. A Ford kit costs about £15-20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Is it really worth going through the hassle to replace this? What are the chances the prospective buyer will try the key in the passenger door anyway ? If you unluck the car using the remote alarm fob I would say 99% of buyers wont take the keys off you and try and open the passenger door manually JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Ah must read post all the way to the end. That musta been some impact if you shagged the lock on the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tommo Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hello im a locksmith, and you can just take a toyota key cylinder which your key goes in to a good locksmith and they can change the plates to your key, they might even have the odd cylinder kicking about if you need a new one, it aint difficult 2 do its a five minute job.
