If you can, whats the cost of re-keying a Suburban tailgate lock to match the front doors? I replaced my tailgate lock on my 65 about a year ago with a new lock, but have a seperate key for it. It's a Briggs key. I'm trying to get down to just a few keys on my ring.
Thanks

So do you match locks with keys? Over time I've managed to get everything mixed and would like it all to work with 1 key again.

is there a way to make the Door key match the Ignition Key?

Yes, either the door lock/locks can be re-keyed or the ignition lock can be re-keyed to match the other.

Hi LockDoc. What do you need to rekey the ignition and door lock to match?

Johns 66 · 04-18-2019, 09:15 PM

Wanted to post in this thread....Mr Leon rebuilt my door locks and re-keyed a glove box lock for me. He also cut me 2 keys from original blanks. If you are considering having this done I would highly suggest using Mr, Leon.....He did an awesome job for me, quickly and everything works perfectly. I really appreciate it a lot Mr Leon.

Do you have a key for either of the locks? If you have a key for one of them all I would need is the key and the lock that needs to be changed. To re-key one lock would be $12.50US + postage back to you. Postage is higher to Canada from the US.

Thanks,
LockDoc

Thanks for the kind words John. Glad you were happy with the locks and my work.

I have a '63 C10...the door and glove compartment are one key and the ignition is a separate key. Was my truck a one key or two key originally?

One key would have fit all of the locks from the factory. I'm betting someone changed the ignition cylinder. I can re-key the ignition to match the door and glove box if you ever decide to go that way.

thank you Leon...I would like to re-key the ignition cylinder. I am going to try to find a extra cylinder to send to you so I can keep this one. I'll get in touch with you when I find a extra one.

My ignition cylinder and door lock are both worn out and can be turned with a screwdriver without any effort. Can you rebuild them...also if I wanted a door lock on the passenger side, do you have any cylinders that can be put in there? PM me an estimate or answer here and we can get the ball rolling. Thanks!

Yes, I can rebuild the cylinders if they are not damaged on the inside from using a screwdriver on them.

PM sent.

Pictures of 2 different styles of OEM GM Octagon head key blanks. The first one is the older style with the code knockout, manufactured from 1935 - 1966 (to early '68 for trucks). The second picture is the later manufactured blank with no code knockout in place. They are still being manufactured today.

roll_the_dice · 05-17-2019, 08:48 PM

Thanks Leon...That helps. I had no idea what the difference was. Mailing the package tomorrow. I sent tracking in a PM. I want 2 of the second key pictured. Thanks!

Yes, he's had surgery and his online presence is restricted until he's better.
