Default Outside Door Lock?

Other than rockauto and the dealer, where can I get aftermarket door lock kits for the outside? I tried autoloc, but they just appear to have the inside power locks.

Are you talking about the outside lock cylinder? Where the key goes in the door?

If so, then Auto-zone, Advance, Pep-boys, etc will all have universal ones, but if you want something more secure, go to a shop. They can put one in.

If that's not what your looking for, then be more specific...

Is your broken or something? Is that why you need a new one? Or are you trying to shave your locks?
If it's broken, you can either get one from Rock auto like you said, or go to the stealership. If you want it to use your current key then the stealership is the only way.

A lock smith may also be able to help you.

My driver's side appears like someone took a flathead to it to break into it

Okay I get you now. I would call the local dealer, ask them how much for the part, and labor (that is if you can't do it yourself), then find a local shop and call them and ask as well.

Like I've kept saying, the local parts store is the only place to get a decently priced lock cylinder, but it is universal, so you'll ahve two keys. One for the door, the other for the ignition.

Is there a lock smith in the area? Like an old school lock smith?

I dont mind using two different keys. So a generic one from a local store would be fine ... okay I figured on using this setup anyway, just thought I'd get some input from someone else. Thanks.
