    I've got two keys for my truck. At some point the previous owner replaced the driver's door lock so now there is a key for the driver side and another key for the passenger side and ignition.

    In order to get back to one set of keys would I have to replace both door locks and ignition? Or is there a way to match the driver door lock to the others? Thanks in advance

    yep, one way... the issue that "might" happen is your truck is loaned/borrowed etc... iow, you arnt driving it. The borrower doesnt know that there are different keys for the door, differernt keys for the ignition and a differernt key for the gas door, you explain it to them but you might as well as have explained it to the dog, they aint listeneing. They just jam one key in and twist it off in the lock, now what?

    I have two keys. Key 1 opens the doors and gas cap. Key 2 is the ignition key. I don't mind the two keys but 3 would be annoying

    MWC, are these lock cylinders swappable like that? Or will I be fumbling around unlocking when I want to lock and vice versa?
