Door key locks

#1 Post by oh-no-its-john »

My 1300 FWD (SC) has knackered door key locks. Looking to replace them. Are they common with any other Triumphs/other cars?
Happy to strip down and fit new barrels if I know what to buy.
Thanks.

So is the lock barrels that are the problem, or is it worn keys?

I ask as I had an ignition lock issue but I had a new key cut which resolved it and it means 1 key still operates the ignition and the door locks. I even found a seller who supplied a key for the boot lock from the number on it so I now have 2 sets of keys for the car.

I'm pretty sure that the door locks are odd- doors having been replaced in the past. Drivers lock is so slack it can be opened with a screwdriver and passenger will take a key but won't turn.
I was sort of hoping that maybe Herald or Spitfire etc barrels would fit.......

Just take the door locks to a locksmith say which key you want he will be able to rebuild your locks so you just need the one key
