My passenger side lock on my 83’60 won’t unlock with the key. Is it possible to have it redone to match the rest of the locks? If so what is needed? I don’t have the key code as the keys I have are not original.
Hi @ToyotaMatt .. do you sell these blanks? Or do you cut these keys? If so, how much? I may wish to send you a working key, to hopefully rekey a driver side door lock, and some extras. Thank you. Amazing work... -JayRecently Aquired first generation Black Top Key Blanks , fit both 60 & 62 series ............

Oh boy.. wish I checked here awhile ago. My ‘90 FJ62 got messed up when some punks tried to steal it a year ago. Pried off the drivers door lock and messed up the steering column. I managed to fix the column partially and put in a new OEM ignition cylinder. Small miracle.. the new ignition key seems to match and open all my other doors also. Finally decided to try and fix the drivers door lock. Asked a few local locksmiths, and they don’t do these “old Toyotas” and sounds like automotive locksmiths are all going keyless now. So, I tried to DIY it with a donor lock someone sent me. Amazingly, 2 of the 4 wafers worked in different locations. Another wafer mostly fit and just needed a small amount of grinding. And 1 wafer needed to be ground down a bit more. But it works. Problem is that the bezel is seriously messed up now. Broke 2 jewelers screwdrivers and a fingernail prying that sucker off. The dented bezel sort of "snaps" back on, but still feels loose, so I fixed it in place with a thin bead of JB Weld on edges. Door hole is still jacked up also. Looks terrible.. But at least I have a working door lock now.
I plan on doing this better when I can try to fix the door metal.
@ToyotaMatt .. If I mailed you a working key, would you be able to key a new driver's door lock cylinder the right way? I can try to find another donor drivers door lock cylinder, Also, if I could get one, or a few, of those nice vintage black keys, that'd be awesome. I'll PM you.
Thank you!
