Need door lock parts

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

Does anyone know where I can buy a parts kit to work on Delorean locks?
It's either that or cut and file some new parts out of brass stock. Any
suggestions?

I just got back from dealing with the lock smith who re-keyed my new door
locks to match the ignition. I took the locks to him previously asking him
if he had the parts to re-key them, and he said there was no problem. I get
the locks home to find out that there were several parts missing from them.
He just took out parts and re-arranged what was left to make them work.

Well, duh, I could have done that myself. I told him that I could have done
that myself, but I wanted it done right, so I was taking it to him. He
proceeds to open one of the locks by gouging the back side with a key on his
key chain. I told him I had paid $100 for that lock and I would appreciate
it if he would treat it a little better
than that. He tells me that he doesn't have the spares to make the lock
100% and then started laughing at me asking me if I thought that those extra
few parts would stop someone from breaking into my car. I told him no --
that I am trying to have everything done right to this car and I want the
locks done right too. I wanted to smash out some of his teeth and tell him
that his jaw would probably work fine without the extra teeth and that it
probably wouldn't cause him to starve from malnutrition. But I have had
people rip me off for far greater sums of money, so I let it go.

I asked him to give me back all the parts he kept out of them, and he said
he had already thrown them out. Nice qualified lock smith we are dealing
with here. Two other locksmiths in town turned the job down because they
admitted to not having the needed parts on hand. This man wasn't as honest.

The moral of the story... don't let just anyone work on your car or any
separated part therefrom.
