Hi, reading various threads it seems many of us have suffered from the inevitable lock replacement at some point in our coupe's history. Mine's no different and I now have as many keys as forward gears !
I know that the lock barrels can effectively be "reprogrammed", by gradually removing or replacing pins until one key opens all the car's locks.
As part of my resto respray, all locks except ignition are currently out of the car so I'd like to take the opportunity to reprogram doors and boot/trunk barrels to the ignition key.
Trouble is, all of the general auto locksmiths I've contacted have scratched their heads, not called me back or sounded incompetent ! Anyone got a UK-based recommendation I could try out ? Or perhaps even someone in the US as I'm often their with work ?
Cheers, Rich
