Not easily, it is casted into the handle. I've done it before but I used a lathe, drill press, and dremel tool in that order.

whitetailbob · 08-14-2017, 10:33 PM

i thought it was cast around it thank you very much!

jjzepplin · 08-15-2017, 06:57 AM

Good info here! So say I am able to get my original out of my hatch. Then I am able to get the cylinder out. Now - I need a key. Where do I find one?

The original poster LockDoc. If you send him one of your keys he can match it so the same key works the doors and handle.

LockDoc just keyed a handle for me last week. Big thanks! I've got the handle out to be re-chromed right now.

I kinda figured he could do it. Thanks. I didn't know a door key was used. Guess I never tried one. Thought it was one of those mailbox sort of keys.

**1rippen6** · 08-15-2017, 12:33 PM

That may be the case but the door key will work.

**1rippen6** · 08-15-2017, 12:56 PM

Actually last year I bought an NOS hatch lock assembly off ebay and it had a square key like the ignition. I believe so anyhow I will have to dig it out and take a look.

jjzepplin · 08-15-2017, 01:27 PM

Going to try some keys...

jjzepplin · 08-15-2017, 01:32 PM

Just tried several door keys and sum mutha- wait for it- they fit but no deal.

When it comes to making the square stock that fits over your handle . I was able to find a company that sells this stock . If comes in two or three inch lengths and only 1/2 inch diameter . I was able to machine down a piece of pipe with inside diameter 1/2 inch and outside diameter I had to machine down to look like the original part with a 'c' clip grove for reassembly . Once it was machined down I merely welded the square hole shaft to the new piece of pipe already machined down . The picture below is what the part I machined looks like that fits over the square holed shaft looks like . Again can also be done on drill press if patient . If having trouble email he at srpenner@hotmail.com

robs71k5 · 02-26-2018, 11:31 PM

The square stock and the pipe pictured below was able to build a couple parts and have a spare for sale . The square stock was not cheap (about $75) but if your wanting your build to closely resemble the original part then this is your best coarse of action .

robs71k5 · 02-26-2018, 11:32 PM

Assembled

I'm adding myself onto this very useful thread, thanks Leon.

jjzepplin · 11-24-2019, 01:17 PM

OK. So mine was stuck all kinds of ways. I sheared the pin off at the end of the cylinder. Is there any way to fix this or do I just need another one? Any body got one?

CHEVY_DUDE · 12-02-2019, 11:11 AM

Did the handle use the same key as the doors and ignition? Or was it a completely different type of key? Mine came with the original handle, but no key that worked.

pound41 · 12-02-2019, 11:38 AM

yes ignition and door key works mine

69TowRig · 01-15-2020, 10:21 AM

I wish this thread existed in the mid-2000's when I bought mine. I pitched that handle and replaced it with a garage door unit. Now I wish I had the original handle back!
