Door Lock Rekeying?

[flon3y]

My 1983 911sc has differing door and ignition lock keys, I'm hoping to make them the same key.

Are there any local locksmiths who can rekey my door lock cylinders to match my ignition key? The few locksmiths I have called only replied 'not with that older model.' I'm located up in Bellingham.

I'm also open to DIY though cannot find a 'kit' of tumbler pins available anywhere.

If you can't find someone up there, I would suggest Broadway Locksmith in Seattle. They re-keyed a replacement ignition assembly for me. Came on the recommendation of Mark Peters at Gerber many years ago.

I wonder if they could do the bonnet lock on my targa. I never lock my doors because it is a targa and my current key only fits the ignition.

I'm sure they could do that if you removed it from the car, but if everything is keyed the same except the ignition, it's probably easiest to remove and re-key just that.
Removing the kneepad is probably the worst part of the job, imo. You can get the ignition assembly security bolts out pretty easily if you grind a slot in their face with a dremel. Then just replace them with some button head allen screws when you put it back together.

Graham, I only have the key for the ignition. Everything else is different that I don't have a key for.
