New ignition, can i re-key the doors?
Couldn't find this so hopefully someone can help me.
My EG was just recently stolen and they broke my ignition off the steering column. I want to just get a brand new ignition assembly and am wondering if i can re-key the door locks to match the ignition? I'm thinking it's probably better to rekey the whole car with new locks that aren't so worn out, is it possible to get all the locks and ignition with one key? Please give me feedback, thanks!

you can go to the dealer and buy all new pieces with a key, or you can go to a junkyard and hopefully find everything you need in one car. replacing the locks on the doors is really a convienice to you, civic locks are easily popped by thieves

if you still have your old ignition assembly just take out the inner key cylinder and put it in the new one? nothing to buy
i was thinking of just getting all new units since mine are old and worn out and everyone knows that old civic locks are easy to mess with. My keys are so worn i would think it doesn't take much to open them.
Every one of the locks in my cars I've found can be pulled out and changed. As bigxclumzy had mentioned, it would be easier to just change the ignition. The locks I did tear down completely out of my coupe all used wafers, not pins. They aren't hard to redo, provided you have extra parts laying around.
