    Lock cylinders are sold individually and usually they are assembled to match your existing key. So buying them online probably won't work unless you can work something out with them

    I know that even if you don't have a key you can go to a locksmith and they can make a key for you. You can order the lock cylinders and make sure they are equal. Then take them to the locksmith.

    I had a 94 grand marquis that didn't had a key for the trunk. The guy used a blank key and kept filing and inserting it in the lock until he got it open. It took him like 10 mins to figure the key.

    Junk yard...? Some yards keep keys organized for just that reason Dom.. Locate one and get all the locks, glove box, doors, hatch.. T locks maybe harder to find matching but a yard is where I'd try..

    Suggestion: If you are particularly irritated by another member's posting habits and are constantly fighting the urge to flame them, you can click on that person's profile, and select "Add to ignore list." This will make that person's posts invisible to you.

    You can purchase lock cylinders that haven't been coded and assembled. Coding to your existing key is very simple, no need for a locksmith.
