Changing locks question
Hints:
1. You can go to a junkyard and remove the ignition lock cylinder and door/trunk locks in 92-95 Civics (maybe other years, too). Disassemble the locks per the sites below. Get acquainted with the little numbers on the lock plates. Call the dealer or key makers and see if they can cut you a new key based on the lock plate numbers. See

It's really not hard at all (even with a modest skill level). The door locks are incredibly easy and the ignition cylinder is not too tough, the steering wheel needs to be completely disassebled - buy a Helms (or similar) manual if you have never done it before. (EDIT: or use the link(s) honda.lioness provided)
i would get the key that fits your ignition, take out the any other cylinder that doesn't fit that key and take those to a locksmith and have him change out the wafers to match the ignition key profile. easily done. about 20-40 a cylinder.
