Knackered door locks.

[ramirez]

My RX7\'s driver\'s door keyhole lock is knackered and wont open by key. Any idea what sort of cost is involved in fixing something like that?

I was wondering if just getting a keyfob for remote central locking would cost a similar amount?

Any ideas?

I would advise relying on remote opening just incase the battery goes dead. As a short term measure I would suggest you switch the barrel from the passegner door to the drivers.

Also (thanks Moonwrap) Mazda can produce you a lock barrel to match your existing Keys.  This is done by using the number etched onto your key, there may be a short wait for the barrel to be made though, its expensive either.  Moonwrap says they did it even for her Cabriolet which is JDM, so it should be pretty simple

 Changing/fitting the barrel is not hard either, just remove the door card and everything will become clear

Makes a change that the locks won\'t open, T2\'s have this trick of not needing keys to open the door locks, i could open mine with a screw driver or even the wrong key
