Tip - Driver Door Handle/Lock fix

[veggie190]

Today I tore into my non-functioning driver door lock. I followed the great instructions here-


One tip not found there is if your lock leaves are old and worn, i.e. they stick out when the key is in, you can remove the broken leaves and put the cylinder back in.

I removed three leaves that stopped the lock from turning with the key. I saved them and plan to bring it to a locksmith for repair later, but this is a good working tip!
