Does anyone have a parts car that you could snag the keys, door locks and ignition lock from? Like the title says I lost my only key. And I would like all my locks to match versus having the door locks not match ignition.
Or does anyone else have a idea how to solve this problem?
And of course if you have the parts I need I will obviously pay what we feel is fair.
You'll probably have better results consulting with a locksmith.
A lock smith can remake a key? I didn't know that was possible.. well sweet, thats a much simpler fix to my problem! thanks!
Be careful, don't cheap out on keys. I hate seeing someone break a cheap hardware store key in a door lock...

You could also take the VIN to your nearest dealer and see if they can make the key for you.
That is assuming the number is readable.
^ You also have to consider the fact that he has a 1G Accord and I don't think Honda still carries the OEM keys for thems...
They might not have oem but they should have something or you will have to go to like Walmart and get a replica and take it to the dealer.

I knew the code was on the key, but didn't know it was on the cylinder too. Far out.Quote:

^ Up to 1997 for sure for the Accord. My friend has had a few 4G Accords and my key unlocked half of them. lol
Locksmith is the key :)
I wonder if you could rekey the door cylinders as my driver's side is worn so bad that I could use any key or a screwdriver to open it. I ended up disconnecting the linkage for safety's sake -.-
I locked my keys in my 81 once. Had a locksmith come out. He goes "Oh I haven't done one of these in a while!" pulls out some kind of a plastic key, sticks it in the lock, wiggles it and opens the door. Took him like 20 seconds. And I was out $50. :)
That is classic 1g. My '76 was the same way. If I locked myself out, my house key worked great and only took about 5 seconds. Doh!
lol this reminds me of the cambria meet where everyone would try to open each others doors. since i saw how easy it was to get in, I have converted my front door handles to rear door handles off a sedan and keyless entry.
