Lock Cyl.
Are door lock cylinders from Brothers, or LMC any good? Or can a lock smith put tumblers in mine?

Re: Lock Cyl.
A good locksmith can rekey yours. Are your cylinders missing?

Re: Lock Cyl.
No. The key will not turn it. It needs tumblers I think.

Re: Lock Cyl.
A locksmith should be able to fix it.

Re: Lock Cyl.
if by any chance you have issues with the locksmith (dont think you will but...) I'll chime in on the LMC anyway. Now I havent tried the one for the 60-66 cyl. but I did use LMC to replace the cyl. on my '89 GMC S15. No issues on installation and they worked with no issues for nearly 10 years before I sold the truck.

Re: Lock Cyl.
I bought one of these for my '65
http://www.classicparts.com/1960-66-.../#.UsDYF2d3ucw I had to do some grinding on the mechanism for it to work and it started rusting within days of installing it. I really wish I hadn't thrown the original away. |

Re: Lock Cyl.
There were some variants in the early models. And some guys have had issue with aftermarket locks in OEM handles.
