dan_123 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I really need a lock barrel and key for the drivers side door. i can't seem to post in 'wanted' but i guess my question is also if anyone knows if mk1 / 2 astra locks are the same? many thanks! Dan (but if anyone has the drivers side or a set that would be great!) thnaks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Dan, hatch or coupe? I've got a set of hatch locks kicking around somewhere, I'll check condition and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_123 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Its actually an F reg coupe but the door locks are just the same aren't they? Id be extremely grateful if you would sell them. Thanks so much! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hatch boot lock fits coupe better upside down. What's up with your lock? Rebuilding them is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_123 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sorry for the laye reply, basically before i got the car someone had a go at the lock. so it works but looks a bit of a mess with the outer sections being bent in and stuff thanks!

My fix for that is to get another lock, slide the barrel out, gently push the shiny cover off and retrieve the little door. Without taking the original lock out of the door pull the shiny cover and damage little door off (it is not hard, a screwdriver hooked under the offending bit does it). Slide the salvaged good cover onto your door key Put the salvaged little door in position and slide the key in an inch so it stays in place Slide the salvaged cover down the key and carefully push it over the barrel until fully home, do not remove the key before it is. But that's just me, I recommend nothing. (if you are lucky I may be able to find some bits in my lucky bag and do it for you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_123 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ah thanks so much for the advice. Really appecaited! As soon as i get another lock ill do this. Hopefully one will crop up on ebay or in the spares here. thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If all you're after is the outer section to pretty it up then I'll definitely have something around you can use! I'll have a look in about half an hour when I get back from work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I won't have my lucky bag till weekend. The trick is to slide the barrel out and then ease the trim off with no damage when sourcing the replacement.

Anything you can help with would be great and obviously just let me know how much you want. Thank you very much! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im actually looking forward to getting the car complete and some pics up. Ive had the manta 10 years. its 1 owner exclusive 34k on the clock. Its just that the lock was like this when i got it and its now a case of sorting this and replacing some annoying bits that broke when coming off the car for the respray! thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
