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 |

Well, I had thought at one time that PelicanParts had new lock tumblers.
Stoddard maybe? Rick |
