If it’s a four door, the set screw is actually quite large. I don’t have mine here but it’s like 5/16” or 3/8”. It’s on the door just below the catch.

Once you get it out, look for a key code stamped on the shaft. Your locksmith may be able to translate that to a pin pattern.

If you have an original and can get a key made, go for that. The replacements from the vendors (or at least the one I got) are POS.
