Hi all,
I'm looking for someone who can take all the tumblers from my car ( none are the same ) and match them up with one new key. I am using two cars to make one and the P.O.'s of these car have have new ignitions etc. added. I would like one key to fit all my locks.
Thanks

You can do that yourself. Take all the locks apart. and clean everythng. Then use the good ignition key and one lock and just start fitting the tumblers so they will work and move to the next lock. When you take them apart you will see how it works. Your will run out of the ones you need that fit. Then put the ones that don't fit together and file or sand them down. All the locks use the same tumblers. If you leave just one or two pins in the glovebox lock I'm sure that will do just fine. That is all a locksmith will do and ask for a $100. Then, just clean and lube everything with graphite and your are done. It takes about two hours. I just did the same thing but I didn't have the ignition key to start with, so I took just that to the locksmith. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I guess the biggest problem is these locks are junk and when they are 30 years old .....well, that makes them more like crap. With two cars you should be able to make one decent set.
