I have and early 1970s Fiat X19 with original door locks. After I moved and parked my car last year, I made the dumb mistake of not hanging the keys with my other car keys. Thought it better to store them some place where they wouldn't get mixed up with the regular car keys, but somehow, no matter where I search, I can't find them. So the car sits under cover, locked up, but unable to be moved.
Does anyone know what kind of keying this is or what kind of locksmith to request service from? I know I only had one key before, and it was a flimsy, easily bent aluminum key, so I definately want to get something better. The door key worked for both doors and the hatch releases. I don't know how easily it will be to replace the cylinders once I get the car unlocked, but that's an additional concern.
First things first - what is the best economical way to get my car unlocked? And how does one get a new key for the existing lock?
Thanks,
