Title: Door lock
Post by: EN318isPDX on August 06, 2008, 03:49:34 PM

I went to lock my drivers side door and when i pulled my key out the entire lock cylinder came out and i hear a thump inside my door.. pulled my door apart and found that my door lock had fallen out. I am thinking that it was one piece and now is too.. Gonna dig more into it after work.. has anyone had issues with there door locks?

I went keyless years ago - precisely because my door lock was getting a bit stiff and I didn't want to futz with it.

Ya i will most likely being going keyless very soon! i do plan on buying the pelican door lock repair kit and see how it works out. Looks like it "redesigns" the lock hammer. If i don't want to buy keyless entry online where should i go? I'm gonna hussle with car toys and baxters and see if i can get a cheapish keyless entry

You should totally report how the lock rebuild goes, my car's locks are f'ed and in dire need of rebuilding.

If you go to bmw security they will refer you to-- I think its united audio
 or united security they make a nice security system with keyless ,motion, glass break and impact sensors. Mine works great
