Hello everyone,

I got a problem, it seems someone tried to break into my drivers side car door. I have power door locks but lost the remote, so I must use a key and when i slide the key into the drivers side door it goes in but does not turn anymore. I cannot feel any of the threads catching like i do on the passenger side door when I slide the key in, it seems like they just put a screw driver in the door lock and stripped everything away so my key does not work. I am wondering what would be the best way to repair/replace this. Should I buy two new locks so they use the same key? Im also unsure on the exact part I need when I look it up on gmpartsdirect so if anyone could tell me what parts I need it'd be extremely helpful.

Thanks,
Jake

 

As a locksmith thats where Id take it. Now that being said. Finding 1 who works on car cylinders is another story. Cant give you much more advice then that.

 

Im leaning towards the replacing of the locks completely, i know what you locksmiths charge!!!

 

Good luck replacing 2 doors the rear deck and glovebox for what we would charge for 1 "coded" door cylinder installed. At my shop it would be around $100. More then fair for a cylinder and an hours labor.

 

Well maybe ill get some estimates then because that doesnt sound to bad, honestly before you told me I didnt even realize locksmiths could do that

 

You don't have to buy all new locks. You just get one and file the tumblers to your key. If you can't do this, it will take a Smith about 5 min.

 

Thanks for the help guys, this is much simpler then i made it out to be i can get the cylinder from brown and brown for $21 bucks and have it coded for $15

Thanks again
