My rear trunk lock and passenger side door handle have both been re-keyed at least twice now. All the little tabs that stick up on the lock cylinder are very small, and you can basically unlock either lock with any 914 key.
Can those "tabs" be replaced, so that I have a somewhat secure 914 lock again? I.e., can you "start over" so the locks only work with one key? -Steve |

I.e., can you "start over" so the locks only work with one key? yes, very easy if you have some spare "tabs". they come in 4 sizes (hole positions that is) and are numbered (how convienient!) 1 to 4 ... take the cylinder out, put the key in and see which tabs are *loose*, replace those with other sizes until they're a snug fit and don't stick out at the same time. make sure to fill all holes if some tabs are missing. voila!
