Changing door locks
I Want to know if it's possible to change the door lock cylinder so that it is not as easily opened with any ole key. I've searched and all i find is "how to replace door locks" (oem to oem) and power conversions but not what I'm looking for. If anybody can help, I'd appreciate it

Re: Changing door locks
Um what? Are you talking about replacing them with some other manufacturer's hardware? I have owned nearly half a dozen Hondas and none of them could be opened at all with any other Honda keys.
Just buy some new locks.

Re: Changing door locks
Have you tried to open them or are you just assuming they couldn't be open. I've seen it done far too many times, on more than a dozen different cars. Doors, ignition, and trunk.
You might not be able to do it but thieves have mastered it.
Has anyone changed their lock cylinder?

Re: Changing door locks
Yes. I have tried to open them. Owning three of them at a one time it was not uncommon to confuse keys. And everything I've read said this only happens with old worn out cylinders, not new ones.
