Replace Lock Cylinder on Passenger door

[carl12538]

Hey everyone!

I parked in a less savory part of town and someone tried to get into my 62's passenger door by jamming a flathead screwdriver into the lock cylinder. Good times!

I took it to a nearby mechanic and he said I should get a new lock cylinder, take that to a locksmith, have them key the cylinder to match my key, and then the mechanic can fabricate a bit of metal to make sure the seal is proper to accept the cylinder ( as you can see in the pic there was some damage to the body...and the broken lock cylinder fell inside the door.

A: does that approach seem correct to all? I am very aware that I'm not god's gift to old car maintenance so I really appreciate the collective wisdom here!
B: I found some replacement lock cylinders here. These should satisfy my needs, right?

First step is to get the sheet metal squared away, then get an appropriate cylinder from @ToyotaMatt

Bitch of this situation is the vehicle's key code is printed on the passenger lock cylinder, and he needs it to key a new one to match. If you can go without your rig for a little while he could probably determine a match based on the driver's door cylinder if you send that with a key to him.

Edit: didn't catch that it fell inside the door. That's good then since you'll have the key code for Matt to get you a new matched cylinder.

Take the door apart...door card off, handles etc and recover your cylinder from the bottom of the door. You'll need the code off the side of it. 2x contact @ToyotaMatt, he refurbs toyota lock sets and offer toyota keys.

At this point, 60 series cruisers are such hot theft vehicles that an owner might as well remove the steering wheel and take it with them every time they leave the car.

Just make it illegal to own a cruiser in Portland! I can’t believe the crime that goes on out there. And that citizens allow it to continue

Wonderful, thanks everyone!

As for Portland, it's an incredible city full of incredible people. It's got its problems but what city doesn't in the middle of a global pandemic. Come on out and visit, F226continetnal, we have lots of beautiful mountains, trees, and Land Cruisers!

These cities where it's gotten extreme will reach a tipping point eventually.

how do you know if you even need a new lock cylinder? Have your retrieved the old one from the door? Maybe it still works? Test it with a key, and If so you can just put it back int he door Snap the clip on and hook the linkage back up. You'll be looking for a metal clip that holds the cylinder in place in the bottom of the door. You may be able to bend it back into shape and re-use. If you need another one let me know. Also inspect the plastic where the linkage clips in to the lock mehanism arm. if this is out it may also be in the bottom of the door.

I’m sure Portland is beautiful and full of nice people, I’d love to spend a night out on the town eating great food and drinking. But on the flip side I leave my doors unlocked every night, and the keys in the ignition of everything I own!! It’s always about the tradeoffs...

I bought a 1987 fj60 that needs the rear hatch re-keyed. A local locksmith says he'll charge 50 bucks to make a key, does this sound like a reasonable price? D-door was 25$ at the same shop. Thanks mudders.
