[AMC-List] AMC Locks And All Car Locks

[AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx (Mr. AMC)]

Maybe it is me but being right outside of N.Y city in a large populated
area, but since in  1969 when I got out of the Navy I never had a
problem getting key's made from codes or locks repaired or re-keyed to a
key I have for any Rambler or AMC I have had. Replacement cyl's now for
ignitions at auto parts stores for AMC's are for GM  key's and  can not
be made to fit AMC key's. Been there tried that. The orange Hornet came
with a GMC Ignition switch tumbler and key. No fun with  1 GM Ignition
key , and 1 AMC door key , one AMC key for the hatch . A friend on
Bart's group gave me an AMC tumbler cyl. for the ignition, I had the
ignition, door locks, glove box door and the hatch lock keyed the same
as my original yellow 74 Hornet. The bottom line is if some one says it
can't be done or a part can't be found find some one else. I go to my
local NON-Chain auto parts store and get 99% of the parts. You need to
check the local lock smith's that have been business for a long time (50
+ years)  Done this for almost 46 of owning AMC's years before most of
you were born and decided it was a hobby. Sorry it is a way life with
me. And when AMC was in business parts were still hard to find at the
dealers and parts stores and even the zone offices too.
