You can actually remove the lock that your key doesn't work on and literally open it up/take it apart and rearrange the tumblers to suit your key :D

This WILL be a no cost option :!:

You can buy Chinese/Turkish kits off Ebay, but they don't have the chipped keys required :|
Or proper Ford ones, but obviously will cost more, as they'll be the correct chipped key version :)

Can be a bit of a fiddle, as quite often the tumblers are a bit worn and so you need to go a 'number' one way or the other to make the lock work properly.

Be methodical and lay everything out as you remove it from the lock - it will go together several ways :roll: but only work when correctly assembled. Ask me how I know :lol:
