Door locks.

I need new locks for my doors.

The driver side just wont unlock, and i have to unlock the car through the passenger side.

Where can I buy some good locks?

And will I have to get new keys made, or can they match the lock to my keys. Cause it would suck if I needed an ignition key, a rear hatch key and a door key.

Not sure where to get them but most locksmiths should be able to rekey them. So you should be able to use the same key.

I got new Door & Hatch locks for my TA from Year One. My door locks would not work, and my hatch lock was falling apart. Before installing them, I took them to a local locksmith to have them re-keyed to match the key in the t-top locks, the only key that I had that worked aside from ignition. I also had him re-key each of the interior cargo door keys to match as well.

After talking with the locksmith, he told me that most likely he could have made the old locks work again by rekeying them if I had brought them to him. At the time however, the car was not driveable and the locks were in pretty rough shape, but it may have saved me the cost of new locks. But now I have 1 key to work the doors, rear hatch, and both interior cargo locks. Was worth it to me.
