Your door lock cylinder face does not appear as original??? (see Don Rogers photo of an original cylinder above) Do you believe it will work to lock the door if you had a key? If you thing it will work on the door then you may as well get a key for it. But if the cylinder is not original the key will NOT work in the original ignition cylinder. I have used both Leon Rowell of Montezuma, IA and Doug Vogel of Dexter, MI for lock repairs and keys. Neither is in the roster of members. If you send me a PM I will send contact information or look on the web.

I got it out but it was not a allen but used a pocket screw driver. The slot was covered in dirt. Don I do not see a code number. Is there anybody I can send it to and get a key for it and the steering column lock? I would like to thank everybody that has helped me.

Thanks Don and 1932BB. I just read my post and see that I left out several words that would make my post make sense.

The door lock tumbler is held in place by a small threaded allen bolt set screw that is accessible through the small hole. Back the bolt out slightly to remove the tumbler.

The door locks are usually held sure that you are trying to remove the correct item.

I am trying to get the door lock cylinder out. There is a bolt holding it in place that you access through a hole in the side of the door. The hole in the door is to small to get a socket on the bolt. Any ideas on how to get the bolt out?

As Tom said, try removing the door lock cylinder. If you can get it out, it should have a code number on the side of it. This code should allow you to have a new key punched. I can punch the key if you can get the code. See photo for an example of the key code.

Try removing the door lock cylinder first and have a key made for it. The door lock and the ignition lock used the same key when new.

The original cylinder has a key code stamped into it's side. BE CAREFUL and do not damage the cylinder they are hard to find and pricey, the bottom retaining pin is less than 1/4" long. I have used both Leon Rowell in Iowa and Doug Vogel in Mich. for lock work and keys.
