Door Lock Set - Repro ~ 1967 - 1973 Mercury Cougar / 1967 - 1973 Ford Mustang

I had a original door lock that was broken so I purchased this kit. Right out of the package the provided keys could not be inserted into one of the locks as the Dust cover was stuck . I took the locks to a lock smith to have that issue fixed and too have them re pinned to my original ignition key so I didn't have an additional key. The pin spacing on these locks is different than the originals so the key had to be custom profiled to work in them as well as my ignition. The dust cover was assembled too low so the door would not swing but the lock smith fixed that as well. All done, everything took about an hour.
When I went to install them the gasket is so thick that the retainer can't be slid into place. I ended up using some different gaskets that were thinner so the retainer would slide in.
The cover bezel shape is similar but different than the original . The diameter is smaller and the profile is more rounded.
In the end I would have been better off purchasing a original Ford lock.

These worked perfectly. No issues installing them. I painted mine black but they came shinny chrome. Keys worked great.

 

Very easy to fit, make sure you have the right side though as they are 'handed', nice to be able to lock her up again.
