Part of the work on my 87 will involve getting new door lock and ignition cylinders.

 

I found some on Rockauto but it looks like the key for the doors is for the 91 and newer.  I'd prefer to use the GM style key that it had from the factory.

 

Where is a good place to buy replacement lock cylinders with keys?

 

How expensive/difficult would it be to have a locksmith repair/rekey the ones I have?

OEM. About $16, some assembly required.

How do I actually get them online?  All the websites I've tried so far don't go back far enough.

I am the best way you can get all the older stuff. I can order them from Chrysler, I think they are back east and I will charge you how ever much they cost me to buy plus the shipping which I imagine won't be more then $3 to send your way.

Check Crown Automotive.  I looked for 89 Comanche door lock cylinders, but they didn't have them, so I looked for 89 Cherokee, and they list them for 84-90 XJ's.  They are easy to order on the Quadratec site.  Talk to Crown though, I think you can get two keyed alike from them.

 

 

Edit- Apparently someone asked this question, here is Q-tecs answer--

Yes, Please see #8122874K2 for the pair with matching keys. For a complete set of 3 it is 8122874K3

Yeah, looking at those, I'm going to pass.  The set of 3 is for an XJ with a tailgate.  That's not good for the ignition switch.  And all of the Crown locks use non-standard square head keys for the door locks instead of the oval head.

 

I'll probably do OEM or just have my factory units rebuilt locally.

You don't need 3, just the set of 2 matched.  Ignition is a different key anyway.  Those GM keys were interchangeable at that time too.  I used to cut keys around this time at a hardware store, and quite often a blank would have the right pattern and length, but be round instead of square, or vice versa.

 

No worries, just wanted to let you know they are available brand new for our years.
