Key Lock Issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CWS · 10-03-2009, 08:45 PM

I have a 67 with manual door locks. Today I installed new door handles and new door key locks. (The PO removed the door handles and I did not have the key for the locks.) I lubed the locking mechanism inside the door and have it working smoothly. When I use the key to lock the door, it does pull the knob on the door down and prevents the door from being opened from the inside. But, I can open the door from the outside, when I use the new outside door handle it is not different from when it is unlocked. I have the same problem on both doors. The new door handles are reproductions that I bought from a site vendor.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
