Hi all,

 

I know that most locks are opened with nearly any key, however is it possible to purchase a new set of barrels + keys which cannot be opened with any key. A modern type.

 

If yes from which site please?

 

Thanks

if a lock can be opened by another key its more likely because it is worn so would be worth replacing

Thanks guys. And is it possible to buy the barrel only? I tried minisports and mini spares but did not manage to find the barrel alone :/

  You haven't said what car it is for so this is a bit of a guess at the age, but try:
