set of locks?

[AJ S]

i have a 91 ford bronco, where would be the cheapest place to find a set of locks (3) for my bronco. had problems so i just never locked the doors since i bought it, had problems with my window this weekend, took the door apart and i'm pretty sure i have the wrong key. so where can i find locks (3) and a key the cheapest?

You can get them from The Bronco Graveyard http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-34374A-door-lock-cylinders-with-keys-87-91.html . They offer a 2% discount to Bronco Zone members for on line orders. Enter discount code BZMEMBER with you BZ user name. LMC Truck is a bit more expensive http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fd/full.aspx?Page=18. If you have a local friendly auto parts re-cycler, then you could try to find a set with keys there.

Good luck,

thats only the door keys lock what about the tailgate?

That is hard to find, but a local auto parts re-cycler may have a Bronco with a matched set. As previously mentioned, a Lock Smith could re-key the ones you have if you take the cylinders to them. I haven't seen any new matched sets in catalogs, it is strange they don't think of that :wacko: . You might talk to a Lock Smith first, it is possible he would only need one cylinder to make a key from.

Good luck,

My 96 uses a different key for the tailgate than for the doors. The door key is also the ignition key. I thought that was normal. Is that odd?

Here in my neck of the earth a good locksmith can rekey the locks for about $15.00 per lock, if you take them to him. That has to be the cheepest way to go. Plus you can have him make all the locks keyed to the same key.

Let us know what path you take.

All of the Broncos I have seen have a different key for the ignition and doors. The keyways for the ignition and doors have the oposite cut. Not sure about the 96, but that would be different than the older ones.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm glad I don't have some oddball locks.

I thought AJS wanted to get 3 locks (2doors, and a tailgate) and thought he wanted all to be keyed to one key.

I think a locksmith can do that, or am I on some drugs I'm unaware of.

No your not on drugs.

He can key all the same as long as the tailgate and door key ways have the same cut. However, I doubt that is true based on my older style locks, the key way for the ignition is the opposite of the door and tailgate cylinders. I suspect that the tailgate key way on the 96 is the opposite cut key way than the one for the ignition and side door locks. You can confirm or deny that by laying the two keys next to each other and comparing the key ways. It all depends on the key way cut for a 91, I don't know if it is like the 96 or the older Broncos.

Look at the attached picture of my keys, the squared off one only does the ignition while the rounded one with a blue ring does the doors and tail gate. Note that the key ways on them are just the opposite. If that is the case with the ignition key and tail gate key for a 96, then you can not cut one key that will fit all.

I think you are always doomed to have 2 keys. In my case one for all the outside cylinders and a different one for the ignition. In your case one for the side doors and ignition and a different one for the tail gate.

The bottom line is that AJS either has my style where a lock smith can key the doors and tailgate the same but not the same as the ignition. OR, a locksmith can key his doors and ignition to the same key but he will have to have a different one for the tail gate.

Now if the key ways are all the same, then a locksmith can key them all the same.

Hope that clarifies what I have been saying rather than adding confusion
