Coded ignition lock cylinders-look in here - Focaljet

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 12-11-2006, 04:50 PM

Hey all, with all the issues with ignition cylinders I thought I would post this as a way to help as much as possible.

We can code a new lock cylinder to match your existing keys.

The new cylinder is $49.46 and I do have to cut a key blank for $1.65 (non-pats) to test it, the one catch there is that I can not ship precut keys due to Ford policy.

Shipping a coded cylinder is fine because it won't do you any good without the keys.

I just need a VIN or key code and the fee for coding the cylinder is $20.00.

So basically it would be $78.61 coded and shipped (UPS ground) which is about $20.00 less than retail on the cylinder alone.

My details are in my sig but the number is 1-800-328-9552 ask for Steve or Mike M.

If your cylinder is jammed or completely locked up you may want to take it in for repair but if it's just starting to act up it's easy to do at home.

Cylinders that are not completely trashed can usually be lubricated and made to work quite well for quite a while, just see your local locksmith for good grease.

Holy old post Batman. I don't know what is "proper" to use in an ignition cylinder BUT I personally use dry lube with PTFE for all the locks around my home. Tried Graphite but it's bull****. I don't know how the hell you're suppose to get that stuff in the lock itself. Dry lube sprays as a liquid and quickly dries up and leaves a fine powdery residue that lubricates very nicely.

I use a white lithium lock cylinder grease, the new cylinder kits actually include a small tube of it to use during assembly.

Works great.

Mine just started acting up on Friday. It's intermittent. The car is stuck at a friends house (with the windows partially down -_-).

Is there a lube that's safe to just squirt in the key hole, to see if I can at least get it back to my place? Once it's there, I'll be able to swap the cylinder myself.

Tousley dude....if i bring you my key tomorrow, can you program me a new cylinder same day? I'll PM you as well.

We don't need your key, we just need your VIN. It'll save you time if you just call ahead with it so we can build it and have it ready for you.
