Yes, I know about the little button you push down after you turn the key allows the lock cylinder to be pulled out of the door handle. And I did not have a key to either the rear door nor the glove box when I got my Courier. I must have picked the lock somehow back then, because I removed the old cylinder without tearing anything up. I did insert a new lock cylinder that had keys. That fixed the back door. I never did do anything about my glove box lock. It still has the original lock with no key. |

No you don't. Here's how the Courier back door key works: To lock; insert key in the cylinder and turn 3/4 of the way around in the clockwise direction, then back again to the straight up position. Remove key. Push the door handle button and it will not allow you to depress it. To unlock an already locked Courier rear door, insert key in the cylinder and turn 1/4 of the way around in the counterclockwise direction, then back again to the straight up position. Remove key. Now you can push the door handle button and open the door. |

Re: 55,56, Sedan Delivery Part Numbers
So my lock in the handle has been converted to a Station Wagon style. A screwdriver style slot instead of the triangle thing. My new lock won't work. so custom hardware has been made and I can lock the door by flipping the cover up on the handle and turning 1/4 turn with a screwdriver. Doesn't look like I'll get a lock to work as 1/4 turn is max for the hardware and a key lock needs to spin more to remove the key. I'll continue looking for the right stuff, but that might be a pipe dream. At least for now, it can be locked and the chance's are slim a would be thief would flip the door open to look at the key lock. So all my cover panels on the door were also missing, and I have no means of matching the paint, so I made these out of 1/4" oak and found a 7mm brass casing was perfect for the indoor latch. I think I'm good for now and time to move on to other issues.
