Didn't realize my car was so easy to break into...need help!
I always thought it was odd how my ignition key was able to unlock my driver side door, then out of curiosity I tried putting my house key in their and turned it, it unlocked it aswell. Basically anything that will fit into the key slot will unlock my car. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm going to have to keep this a closely guarded secret

That makes sense. On a positive note, I guess I don't have to worry about locking my keys in the car for the next while
I've been looking on Hawks third gen and saw these locks, http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...linderset.aspx would these be the ones to get?

I don't think you can do much better than what you posted at Hawks. I think the other way would be "Pick-n-pull" and a re-key ( Locksmith )
By the way I haven't used a key to open my doors in over 5 years. My Python security system does that for me. Just push on a button on the key fob and its done.
Its just a basic system that I had put on and the extra benefits of having a alarm system are great.I think it was about $125.00 including install.At that price I did not hesitate .

Even if your locks are good if your outer window seeps are bad yourcar can still be broken in to. This happened to one of our cars. Took the stereo, amp and toolbox.
