Hi I had these locks fitted several years ago. Due to one of my two keys getting jammed in the drivers door I had to cut the top off leaving a short sun of the key. The only way to remove the key in the lock was to cut it to get it through the body of the car. Having tried six auto locksmiths no one...

Hi, well after a lot of tweaking and having to drill and grind the spring and fibreglass holes I succeeded. However not without the odd scratch. And yes I have had copper grease for a number of years, so it came in handy. Also I was glad I had two ratchet type clamps. The suggestion to put it togeth...
