Joe, I googled this up, and found an interesting AMC connection. Briggs and 
Sratton spun off Strattec as the lock division.

"Stratton was a marketing specialist, which wasn't an easy job with the 
products AMC put on the streets in the 1970s. Stratton helped market the 
infamous Pacer, "the first wide small car," he said, with a laugh."

"---whose family has been a part of Briggs & Stratton since its founding in 
1909. Harold M. Stratton II, his full name, was the fourth and youngest 
child in his family."

"Strattec, which has a virtual lock on the auto lock market."

all locks available, as far as I can tell. If you google Strattec, you will 
find other sites as well.

Here is a link to the article referenced above.
