dog321fish Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 How do you recode if that is the right word an existing door lock barrel to a new/different key ? if it is possible ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Its a fiddle but its possible. What are you trying to do ? get one key for everything ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog321fish Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yes, I had to replace the ignition barrel so have one key for ignition and another key for the doors, hatch and fuel cap. I have lived with it for a couple of years now but just wondered how difficult it would be if it was possible ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Its not impossible, the worst one is the filler cap, all others are just a case of strip and clean and work out which of the 4 types of tumblers goes where and then replicate that over all locks Filler cap is a horror, so much so that I often start at the filler and do the others to match that ! You have to have two caps and destroy both in different ways to get the parts to rebuild one with the lock coded. Very time consuming but I do have all the kit here now after doing 4 full cars recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
