New set of matching locks/barrels?

Hi,

can anyone suggest the best place to get a new set of matching locks/barrels?

Guess I'd need

2 * door locks
1 * boot/trunk lock
1 * trunk storage door lock

Ideally I'd like a matching ignition lock at the same time.

Hawks should have most of what you need. IDK about a matching ignition though, thats prob not gonna happen.

Re: New set of matching locks/barrels?

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the Hawks web site.

They have a set of three matching locks (2 doors + hatch).

First problem is I'd prefer to get a matching set of all four locks (need extra lock for the trunk side compartment.

Second problem is that the set of three locks they have is only for pre-1986 cars, so I'd need to buy a later model trunk lock and get it rekeyed to the door locks.

Any other suggestions where I could get a matching set of locks?

Take your messed up locks to a locksmith.
They could (usually) re-pin each one to the original
key.

I'm keen on new locks because I'm repainting the car anyway and the old locks are a bit rough.

I've seen the two door and hatch sets on eBay in NOS condition. You could then get the rear glove box rekeyed to the new tumblers.
