I can make keys for your existing door locks or sell you a complete new OEM GM set.

If you don't need or want OEM you can buy reproduction. Last I checked there were two suppliers to the vendors, one being made overseas and one being made in Mexico. The ones being made in Mexico are better quality than the ones being made overseas. The set I would buy is "Classic Auto Locks CL 104" with the number 53-480 on the package.

There is no guarantee that they have not changed suppliers though. If anyone buys a set from ClassicParts let us know if they still say "Made In Mexico" on the package.

Thanks Doc,

I have tried the ignition key and it definitely will not turn the door locks. I have another issue, too. I can push the knob down to lock the doors, but not when they are latched. Perhaps there is some sort of strike that isn't catching on the jamb side, but I can see the mechanism moving at the strike area when I press the knob up and down. This is the first time I have really tried to dig-in on the issue, and I just assumed that there was a separate key for the doors, kind of like the old oval GM keys you would have on a car for the trunk.
