door/ignition/tunk= locks

Call a couple of locksmiths and get some prices. I recently replaced the door locks on my 79 and was charged 2o.oo per cylinder.

$400.00 for a set of key locks......I had to double check I wasn't on Ferrari.com or something.....Is anyone seriously THAT touched.

When I replaced the ignition switch on my old Blazer I wanted the key to match the original (also the door key) so I went to a locksmith and they charged me $27 to key it the same.

A locksmith is your best bet.I used them when i replaced my passenger side lock.I think it was $ 30 or so.

How does it work to have a locksmith do it when the orientation of the key on the ignition is the exact opposite from the ignition?

Take the two keys off your ring and line them up. Look at the end. The top of the key will be right next to each other, the bottom way away from one another.

So a locksmith would actually have to put a different cylinder in the lock that has the proper key orientation.

This thread needs to get back on track and stay on track. This is a technical forum and not a parts/store review forum.

Though I understand a user wanting to caution about dealings that he/she has had, it appears that the caution issued in this thread is NOT about parts concerning the topic at hand but about parts that are TOTALLY unrelated.

The topic of this thread concerns Door, Trunk, and Glove box locks... NOT speedometers.

If you all want to duke it out then do it in PM. I've moved all the useless, unrelated posts to fight club. Feel free to visit this thread to continue your Ummm... "discussion":

As for this thread... back on topic before users begin to mysteriously disappear.
