Below is the photo of my car key and the lock mechanism that would normally be a part of my driver's side door. Obviously, it is broken beyond repair. In addition, the interior lock button can no longer be pushed down.
I took the door apart today and no amount of WD40 could get the vertical bar that connects to the interior lock to move. I think that, at one point in time, I turned the key and it busted the cylinder from the housing, resulting in the ability to remove the lock from the door (shown in the above photo)
Anyway, this key opens the 3 doors and starts the ignition and I am totally clueless as to how to proceed...Do I need to go to a junk yard and get a door with a key and just have an additional key for my car? Can I install new locks throughout the car? Should I try to put in power locks?
I post here in hope of find some guidance. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
