door locks

[sprouts.]

anyone know if theres any rebuild kits out there?

Not that I've seen.

A good locksmith will be able to rebuild the locks. The one I asked said he could, though it's up to me to take them all out of the car. Unfortunately, sets from Toyota aren't available anymore.

Depends what's wrong with them. Are you talking about the electric locks or the actual tumblers?

 

[sprouts.]

actual tumblers, they still work, but its just very hard to turn

 

[Asterix]

Have you tried spraying them? Some WD40 can work wonders.

I can rebuild them for you as long as they're not badly corroded.
New tumblers, springs, etc. Greased up and works better than new sometimes!
PM me.

NEVER spray WD-40 or any other petroleum lube in your locks!! it'll gunk them up and short out the electrical contacts.

use graphite powder/lube, its the best stuff for locks!

thanks for the heads up

Graphite powder is conductive, and it's hygroscopic. I'll stick with WD40 or Superlube.

Use LPS1 dry lubricant. WD40 is not a lubricant its a water displacer...
