Hi, wondering if theres a trick to getting the trunk lock to work, like the set screw on the door lock. When i got my car it had no keys, i had keys made and retained the locks that were in the door and trunk. We have an old timer lock smith that works magic and made one key that turns both tumblers without changing them. So at first both my tumblers would turn and not lock. After taking the door lock apart i realized the set screw was not seating all the way. now the door lock works fine. Is there a similar set screw to the trunk lock im missing? The tumbler turns both ways but never locks the handle. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Kevin
