Awesome write up.
Does anyone know the part number for the cylinder kit for a 95 integra?

awsome write up.

Does anyone know if this will work from model to model? Like if I wanted to key one car the same as the other, could that be done? A friend and I were talking about this a while back and he was curious as to weather he could key his CRX to work with his RSX key. Can it be done?

I didn't think honda door locks had that issue. A friend of mine had a 1976 chevy that you could open the door with just about anything (flat head screw driver worked well) and the ignition didn't even need a key! Every so often we'd open the hood and move the air filter from his engine to the driver seat...never did figure out it was me

I'm gonna try this with my driver side door lock. It's been sticky ever-since I got this hatch back in late 2008. Thanks for the amazing writeup!

Superb write-up and great pictures. Thanks to your post I was able to replace the driver's side lock and have it work with my original keys. Only took about an hour.

One note - it helped to place the plates from the old cylinder into the new cylinder one at a time instead of removing all of them at once, just to make sure I put them back in the same order.

I purchased a pair of replacement locks for my 91 Honda Accord for about $20.

EDIT: My biggest problem was getting the clip back around the lock cylinder once I had it back in the door. Do yourself a favor and tie a string to the clip in case you drop it, so it doesn't disappear inside the door.

An FYI for this write up:

I cleaned out both doors and the hatchback lock using this DIY on a 93 Civic Si that I bought. All of these were sticky and effectively non-functional.

Interestingly, I found that the key code combination on the lock plates for the hatch lock was different from the one on the two doors. Curious, I tested the hatch lock with the same lock plates code as the door, and it didn't work (it was very finnicky), but once I cleaned up and lube the original lock plates the key worked fine - smooth as silk.

So, take-home message is: Check the lock plates of the lock you are going to work on, and don't depend on the trunk/hatch lock having the same code as the doors.

When taking the lock out of the cylinder, leave the key in it that way the plates can't fly all over the place. When the lock is out of the cylinder just hold your finger and thumb over the plates and remove the key.

Hi All,

I am having similar problem with my 2002 CRV I cant get the key in and when I do it doesnt turn. Does anyone know if this method can also be used on Honda 2002 CRV locks?

Thanks

Another update: I bought a beat up 94 Civic RTSi in New Zealand in June 2015. The key that came with it only operated the driver's door which had been replaced at some point in the car's history (it still had the original passenger's side door, and trunk), and while it did operate the ignition, this is only because the ignition cylinder was so worn that any Honda key could operate it. These JDM cars do not have a locking trunk mechanism by the fuel/trunk lever, nor one to unlatch the rear seats.

Getting a fresh key cut for it at a NZ Honda dealer was not a financially viable option (>NZD$70, for whatever reason), and still left me with the ignition problem, and I then would have a driver's door issue instead of a passenger's door + trunk issue. Instead, I resolved to use this DIY to replace ALL the lock tabs on the doors + ignition to match the key on my 93 Civic Si that I had back in Canada. At the junkyard I actually found a Honda that my key worked on. I pulled that and noted the lock tabs order. I then pulled a few more lock tabs from other vehicles and eventually I had enough to replicate the lock tab order of my 93 Si on all the locks of the 94 RTSi. I swapped these all in and all was once again right in the world, with the added convenience of only requiring one key for both vehicles.

I would just take it to a locksmith to rekey all.

Except the locksmith can't do it for <$5, like what it cost me. Yes, my labour was involved but since this is a hobby, it is discounted substantially. Also, I found other weird JDM stuff at the yard which I sold off so I actually came out ahead.

tony_2018

ah, i feel you.

94 Civic Si

That is cool!

Glad this thread came around...

Never heard of EG RTSi, sounds cool!

94 Civic Si

It looks like this part number is discontinued, and was replaced by

Honda Part No.: 72146-SR3-003, which is also discontinued...

94 Civic Si

The passenger door cylinder is still available, has anyone tried getting that and flipping it over?

I suspect it will not work, b/c why would they create 2 p/n's if one would fit both sides...

94 Civic Si

Or, has anyone tried the door cylinder from an Integra? L side is still available.

94 Civic Si

Has anyone tried this:

this helped me with the shaved door handles actually, thanks..

94 Civic Si

Question: did the same key work on hatch lock & doors on this Si, even though different code?
