Doors, hatch, and inside hatch locked side box.

Odd problem to have, the 82 Camaro kits I've found specifically don't even include the fourth lock

I doubt you'll find a set with all 4. I hope I'm wrong.

If the storage compartment lock is still in good shape, a locksmith should be able to re-key it to match your new keys.

Figured but good to hear on that locksmith tidbit, I'll have to check but I'm sure it'll be in good condition. Thank you!

Follow up, found this! But it appears to include an extra floor lock?

Some cars had a flip panel that covered the trunk compartment. My 84 TA has one.

Nice find! That's what I get for being a skeptic!

The middle lock in the bottom row appears to have a different shape to the body than the rest. Is that the one for the compartment?
