Is there anyway to repair door lock cylinders? My doors don't lock. I'm not sure if its the internals of the door or the clyinder. CJs sells the whole kits. Am I better off replacing the whole thing? I assume I need new keys if I replace the cylinders.
I welcome any suggestions.

I would say open the panels and see what's going on inside first.

Switched out the door locks today. One of the clips on the rod was missing. We custom made a piece from a plastic wall anchor. Works great! I'm thinking about installing a quick disconnect on the battery. I worry that some one could pop or bypass the ignition and take my girl. I assume this acts as low cost auto kill?

The only problem w/ that is all someone has to do is jump the terminals of the quick disconnect to get her going. Maybe a chain bolted to the hood relaese so it will only allow it to be raised so far. Just enough to be able to un lock it.

Normally I wouldnt be worrying about this but she is going to be my daily driver this summer. My daughter is coming home from college and will be driving my car. I park on a gated lot and now I have door locks that work so I should be ok. I should probably up the insurance amount just incase.

You could always train a black mamba to live in the car and come out when you whistle or something....

Glad you got your locks fixed Door Locks on 65 10498
Classic car insurance, to my knowledge, has limited mileage the car can be driven. That won't be that good if it's to be a daily driver.
