Re: [DMCForum] how big is your hole?

Not so!

Doors made for the earlier two-key system have larger holes than the later
one-key system.  And despite having a larger hole, they can still be made
to
hold the smaller one-key system lock.  You use a file to cut two notches
in
the door skin -- one on top & one on the bottom.  The size & placement of
these notches is critical for getting a good fit.  And even when perfectly
done, the lock isn't as secure as a door made with a smaller lock hole.
Instructions for cutting the notches are included in the Service Bulletins
manual.

A one-key system door could have the hole made larger to take a two-key
system lock.  I would hate to do this on any DeLorean because I'm an
advocate of converting to the one-key system.  You keep fewer keys in your
pocket and the locks are far more reliable.  Removing a two-key system
lock
without breaking it requires either practice or lots of time.
