Lost my keys, need recommendation for new locks

So I lost my keys and need to replace the lock cylinders. Luckily I have a spare ignition key, that i found buried under the carpet below the shifter for who knows how long.

Can any one recommend a matching set of 3 GM lock cylinders. I found sets of 2 cylinders but not 3. I don't want to have different keys for the door and trunk.

Re: Lost my keys, need recommendation for new locks

If you don't find a set of three, there's a set of 2 with no bids on eBay that are 10 bucks shipped. Unless the hatch is used, via the key frequently, I wouldn't sweat the second key.

Or, just shy of 50 bucks is a brand new set of 3 for Camaro:

Hawks sells lock sets with all three lock cylinders. Even comes with new GM marked keys, and they'll get you the correct trunk lock cylinder.

Yeah that's what I'll do. I didn't realize a locksmith could make a new set of keys from a lock.

Re: Lost my keys, need recommendation for new locks

heck yea!

My 84 Z didn't have a hatch/t-top key.
I called a local locksmith and he came to my house and made me 3 keys
and charged $30 bucks!

BTW: I/he didn't have to remove any locks or trim.
He did them in place on the car!

Call your local Chevy dealership. They can make keys for you, just make sure to bring your ID and proof of ownership. Mine was less than $10.
