When I bought my TP sedan, the seller said he had replaced the passenger side door lock (maybe the whole door) with one from a wrecker. I didn't take much notice at the time because I was too busy assessing the mechanical condition of the vehicle.

I now realise this creates a slight problem. The keys don't fit that door, so I can only open it from the inside. This is a pain in the A when letting a passenger in because they have to wait for me to walk around to the other side, open the driver's door, reach across and open the passenger door.

I also have a TP wagon with an aftermarket central locking system. I thought of two alternatives:

(1) I could swap the passenger side door locks between wagon and sedan. I have spare wagon keys, so I'd then be able to open the sedan's doors from outside - just have to carry and distinguish between two keys. I could still open all doors on the wagon using its remote but only the driver's side with the key.

or

(2) I could fit an aftermarket central locking system to the sedan

Is there any other way of overcoming this other than buying a complete set of locks and keys all round?

just make them sit in the back... makes it easy for everyone

sounds like when the door was replaced the lock wasnt changed over
you can get a cental locking system if you want that opens all the doors with the turn of the key or you might be able to find one with a remote
other than that you might be able to pick up another set of locks for your car

Thanks everybody! Magna Buff has just put up an info. post showing how to remove the door trims and get the lock cylinder off. He says that if I take the lock cylinder to a locksmith, they will be able to re-key it to suit my existing keys, so that seems to be the way to go.

or you can replace all of the locks with the ones from the other car including the ignition barrel if you cant get them to match it
