Destroyed Door Lock Cylinder hole due to a Thief

Door lock cylinder hole was destroyed when some Jacka$$ broke into my 91 Camaro RS. What options are there besides replacing door. I was going to delete the hole and use keyless entry.


Looks like someone used a screwdriver and a hammer.

Sorry to hear that.

Thieves are some of the worst people on Earth.

1. You can kinda massage it to fit a nw lock cylinder
2. Body shop, they'll likely do the same as 1 but better than what most home mechanics can do

Requires more paint / work:

3, Cut out that section and weld a new section in place from a donor
4. Weld the hole shut / cover and do lock less / remote locks.
