Not "Tumblers" but "Leaves"
IF you get in there you'll see.
Oblong Rectangular Metal "Leaf" with the appropriate opening cut into the middle. They slide into and out of the "Tumbler" Barrel easily.(TOO EASILY!) If you've got a real Master Locksmith in the area it'll be easy for her/him to put new leaves into the barrel to match the correct key. (Let the Lock Destroyer buy the Chassis a new set of Locks, The Learning Curve will move upwards rapidly) I took an old lock from another chassis (I bought a Locking Center Console box from another member here) took it downtown to the Master Locksmith and $20 later it was re-keyed [Re-Leaved?] to my Master Key. The Local Stealership had just laughed and said a week for a new lock and $150.00

Hi dear,.
If i am not wrong you are talking about the door lock tumbler and key? If you are talking about the ignition tumbler and key, then it is like $35 not $135. -------------- car key replacement Last edited by Stoner5; 08-09-2012 at 06:20 AM. |
