Ok today out of the blue my driver side key hole lock just stopped working..... I can't insert the key into it becuz it feels like there's something in there.....I shoved it in and the key went in.....I'm guessing its the cylinder inside the lock that's messed up.....my father was tellin me I have to get a new key and lock.....I was just thinkin.... can I just take it to a black smith so he can fix the cylinder for me cuz it would suck to change the lock and have two keys when I just can have one......plz let me no asap.....its kinda embarassing to go through the passanger side to open the driver side door.......if not can I got to honda to get a new lock for the same key.......

ok ok seriously...uhm...I'm gonna say...maybe...unless something in there is all busted up...I know when I worked at the shop we had to remove an ignition lock and have it re-keyed...then it busted again...so not so sure how reliable that's gonna be
as to the pass. side...I have to do that with the supra...just unlock the pass side...and always carry something with you if you feel like a big douche
otherwise to hell with what folks say and unlock from the pass and walk around...
or...
shave em all off and keyless entry that biaaa...course that costs money__

So if I change the key am I gonna have to change the ignition and the trunk lid lock becuz I think it wouldn't be worth it.....basically imma have to change all the locks......should I call honda and ask them.....I tried spraying WD40 and it didn't help.....my father said its probably one of the springs in the cylinder got busted......

Hmm. It happened several times before that I couldn't turn the key in the ignition. Isn't that just one of those problems where you have to hit the steering and move it around as much as you can even though it has it's position locked?Comment

hes talking about his door.Originally posted by Gyuri87
To the OP try Graphite Lubricant. Its like grease for locks.
If not, then switch locks with your driver and passanger door if you dont want to open through the door. Then, just get another lock and get it rekeyed at the blacksmith. WHen i went to mine he said $20 for each lock. I have an extra door lock if you want it.
The only reason im not saying to just get that same lock rekeyed is becasue of what bcjammerx said.

I thought the dealer would actually match it to your key if you bought it through them... But it could be just me. If you take out the tumbler in the lock, and see ANY kind of damage (bent out pins, or pins that wont go back up) that lock is going to be defective. Buying a *new* lock and getting it rekeyed to your key is your best route. Ive had too many problems getting my dad to rekey the old ones. You could also just try and buy the tumbler if its available. If not your going to have to get the whole lock.

i went to a blacksmith's today and he said i have to leave the lock and key with him......if the lock is defected should i go to honda to see if i can get a lock.....and i was also thinking to switch the passanger side lock with the driver side one....maybe i might do that and take the defected one to the blacksmith....Comment

I don't think Honda can give you a lock that will fit your key...they could give you another lock but not the same key.
from your original description...I wanted to think something inside is broken...but...I dunno____Comment
