Outside door locks

[sqrlnts]

Guys need some help. I did not get outside door lock keys from the PO. I have searched high and low but can only find a matched set of replacement door locks for $60. Seems kind of steep for what they are.

I am also considering electric remote entry, might just put the $60 towards the electric kit.

Is it possible to get a replacement set of keys made for the existing locks?
Thanks!

Pull the locks and take to your local locksmith. They will make keys. Mine were $24 to match and make 2 keys.

I believe that he didn't get any keys for the lock cylinders from the previous owner when he bought the truck. That seems to be a fairly normal happening when we buy these old trucks and Newfisher's suggestion was right on the money.
I've lost track of how many times I have carried lock cylinders into The Lockshop in Sunnyside, WA to have them code the cylinders and cut new keys.
