Steve...PM me your mailing address and I'll send you a couple...John



Just a follow up to my trunk lock. A big THANK YOU to John for sending a couple of these "lock wafers"


I had a master key cut tracing the valet key at a local hardware store so once I had the wafers , it was time re-key the lock.

The end result is i now have a correctly functioning master key and valet key

You can visible see the step

Wafers releasing

I had to try a few different slots, once I got the right one the Master key grabs all of the wafers...nice and flush

Valet Key inserted and you can see how it does not grab the "valet wafer"

I decided to use the URO rear lock as my Ebay replacement was pretty beat up
This is a very nice and reproduction

Lastly, was reassembly and reinstall into the car

Nicely done - since you've been in there, I wonder if you can provide some input on my situation. I had a new key cut and it works in all situations (locks and ignition) only when facing one way. Flip it over, no joy. it's strange since they are symmetrical, correct? Other keys work both ways...

Thoughts?

I can only guess (as I don't proclaim any expertise) the key is not symmetrical or the cuts were not made correctly.
