A new lock shouldn't cost that much.

Have a locksmith swap the tumblers from your old lock into the new one.

 

They dont ship to canada basically i could find an old lock then and swap the tumblers?

 

Oh, that sucks.
I don't see why not.

 

I would check a junkyard. I bought new locks for both doors and trunk and needed to re-key since the plates were corroded. I ran out of enough of the correct numbered plates, so I picked up a few more at the local yard.

To swap the tumblers, first pull the c-clip off the back. Slide the key in and turn it back and forth to release the spring and pull the cylinder out. DO NOT remove the key, or the lock plates will fly all over (they are spring loaded.) Installation in the new cylinder is reverse of removal, but sometimes hard to get the spring connected.
