YOUR drivers door lock isn't the right one for the key! ALL ford keys WILL lock any other lock!


so I'd say your locks been changed at some point!

ps if you take the lock out and take it to Fords/locksmith they can make you up a key to match via the numbers inside(just mean you'll have to have 2 separate keys!

Alvyn: You say a LOCKSMITH can make a key for any lock with the numbers??? Or is it only Ford that can do this

Sorry for jumping in by the way
