Seems like a straightforward process... Especially if you have all the cool tools to get the job done right. Thanks for sharing
Yeah a key machine helps but folks could find a friendly local locksmith :)
Now that was a interesting insight in something i had never thought of nor had a clue about how it works
there ya go :)
Very cool. I've always wondered how re-keying works. Thanks for video.
Thanks Jon
I hired a locksmith for the same thing 350 bucks. BAM , DONE ! Worth it
Thank you very much for your video you save me a lot of time and headache’s
Thank you.
YOU ROCK! Thank you
Hi Dave...great vid...I have a 2015 JK in Ontario Canada....all door cylinders froze this past (brutal) winter..I used CRC Graphite lube and lock de-icer.....all 3 doors cannot rotate key still in spring...are they crap?..hadn't seen that since my 1977 Honda Civic..I carried a propane torch to heat em up....Thanks
Awesome video
Hi David, I have a new Jeep TJ ignition and door locks. I want to key the ignition to match the new door lock. Can I send you the new lock as door keys?
Dave, great video and now I know how top remove the ignition cylinder on my 99TJ. My problem is the key won't turn at times. The key is worn so that may be my issue. What's the simplest way to "read" the code so I could get a new key cut to those specs?
Great video. I just bought some new doors but can’t seem to find somewhere that sells the wafers to rekey them. Is there someplace you know of? The locksmith I talked to here sold them per bag for $50 which would cost a ton to get all the numbers needed
I need to repair the driver's side lock, it no longer engages. Any suggestions. I sure hope you still read these. Happy New Year.
1995 jeep ZJ is way different, cannot get cylinder out of housing, pushed little button but no further counter clockwise turning.
Great videos. Really enjoyed the TJ restoration. I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler JK that I bought used. The previous owner only had 1 key so I only have one key to my jeep. Do I have to go through a dealer to get another key and pay 200 or so dollars for a key or is there an easier way? Can I buy one online and get it programmed at a locksmith? Thanks again, Love your channel!

Since you're a locksmith, I have a question-
I have an 89 S10, as you said it's a two-key system. I'm almost certain I've heard of folks rekeying them to one key for doors and ignition- is this possible?
I’m pretty mechanical, you lost me about 1 minute in. Ill hire someone like you!!
nice
I need to replace the ignition lock in my 1994 jeep grand cherokee due to a broken key stuck in it... Can you cut me a new ignition key that also fits my doors , rear hatch and glove box... (matching...) I wanted to replace all the locks for newer, smooth opening, black faced locks... Can you do it and how much...
thanks....
I have a YJ 1991, I have half doors and the ignition key does not work on them. Neither does the tailgate, so I cannot lock my jeep basically. Is there a place I can get the locks rekeyed or buy the locks with keys?
My key just falls out of the ignition while running, it's a 2000 TJ wrangler with a grey head key. Anything I can do for that?
I have a question. If I order a door lock cylinder from mopar for my 16 jeep cherokee 2.4 4wd sport . I should be able to take it to a locksmith and they would be able to make me a key right? .thanks for your time .
yes but you may want to order a service kit if you want all the locks to match.
I assume this can be done on a 97 Grand Cherokee? Where can I get the wafers?
Dave i am a serious fan of yours as you know and i m stuck with a key issue on a fiat 500 classic. Unfortunately i have lost key and i need to understand a way to define a key from cylinder for ignition amd doors to cut a new key at locksmiths! Could you help me with explaining a cheap and nasty way that i can take a reading off the locks and go cut a new key as i m in. Iddle of nowhere to call locksmith and it will be very expensive?
What make and model ?
1966 fiat 500f
Redneck Garage How do you like that X6 machine? I'm concerned about the serviceability of a Chinese machine. Any problems with parts or service? Any accuracy issues?
Ive had it about a year - for the price I figure its paid for itself. Been very trouble free for $1600 I don't place much faith in either parts or service really but if it works for 2 to 3 years compare that to 8 or 9K for a name brand.... easy math for me .
This video is 7 years old are you still willing to cut a key if I send you my tumbler combination? It’s insane I can’t seem to get a locksmith to call me back where I live. I have re keyed my cylinder door locks an keyed my new ignition. I want to have more spare keys but when the hardware store copies a good key I have the key doesn’t work in the door or ignition. I guess I need to keep calling locksmith an maybe one will call me back.
If you dont have any luck email me at - theredneckgarage@gmail.com :)
Dave.can you run the machine in the dark?
did you make new wafers? or make your jeep key the same as the doors?
Hello, would you help in disassemble Honda 72 coupe back gate key cylinder please. I could not find the pin.Thanks.
Question about this video. I also put full size doors on my TJ. I did get a copy of the key for the doors when I bought them. So I bought a new cylinder (Dorman 924-103) and through some difficulty I re keyed the new cylinder to the door key and lubed it with lithium grease. I did have to leave out the last wafer closest to the key entry out as it seems to get stuck sometimes, with some wiggling to get it to work again, especially it the key is flipped over. It this this more often with the last wafer in than not. Any suggestions
Where did you find the wafers? I've been unsuccessful so far
Very interesting. I just bought a whole tj I'm parting out. A 2000. If you need any misc parts I'll give you a good deal on them. Haha
Thanks Tyler ... I need a frame, an engine, seats, hood, fenders ..... hahahaha I appreciate that. What did you pay for a parts Jeep and what did you get it for - ,just wondrin :)
I paid 1500 for it... I just buy them to part it out. This is my 8th jeep I've owned, being on a college budget it's some nice secondary income and I get to tear apart the vehicles I love and hear about people building up their jeeps with the parts I sell to them.
dang son that is awesome !! Do you have a ebay store ? Ive bought quite a few items on there.
I've sold jeep parts on ebay before but I prefer to use craigslist. That way ebay doesn't get any of the money and I don't have to deal with shipping
I hear ya - I would think you probably could ask more for some of the parts on Ebay as the audience is much larger esp small parts like AC controller ect.
It is 175.00 in the US - damn Canadian taxes .....lol
so your jeep doesn't have the sentry system in it ?
No, On the TJs it was optional on all models. Most 1997 - 2000 don't have it and most 2001 up do but not all.
Dave,
I have a key question. I have a 99 TJ. Just started having an issue that I think is caused by the ignition key. When I start the engine, the emergency brake light and the airbag light stays on the dash and there's a loud noise underneath when the clutch is in. I think the key is sticking in the 'start' position. I can back the key up a little and the dash lights go out and the noise stops. Have you heard of this and what would you recommend?
+jeff andrews possibly could be the ignition switch which is the electrical portion not the cylinder.
Are you going to match the tailgate lock too?
yeas that one is more of a pain because of the face cap being crimped on. I have a replacement tailgate so I haven't fooled with dragging it out yet :)
Hi I have a 2004 jeep rubicon that I need to get a key made my gf just one key she won't a Spain key went to lowers they said it will cost like 75 is there a way to get it less then that?
What color is the head of the key ? The Sentry transponder key system was optional until 2007. If you have the grey headed key it has a transponder in it. If you have two keys present you can program a new one yourself. With just one you have to have a programmer and a pin code from Chrysler. You can also have a "clone key made" which basically copies the factory electronics and burns it on a new virgin clone key. You may find a locksmith to do it cheaper if you go by the dealership and get the 4 digit code from them from your vin # to give to a locksmith. You could order two keys from Ebay then get a locksmith to cut and program the two new ones after you give them the pin code. You are better off getting a factory style key than a clone key down the road. A clone key will run around 75.00 just because of the cost of the blank and burner equipment. If a customer gave me the blanks and the pin code I would probably charge $60.00 to cut and program if they were nice:) The transponder equipment is very expensive for us locksmiths to purchase so that is one reason it costs more. The dealerships have made millions on the "Security" key scam thru the last 10 or so years and it will only get more expensive as we go along.
So what your saying is if I send you my ignition you will key me up to match my door keys?!
sure. I just need either your key code or a spare key.
So would this same process work on an 1987? I have 93 doors on 87 two separate keys as well as a different tail gate. Do you know if the ignition key for an 87 worked on the tail gate lock or was it separate key?

Thank you Dave for the info.
Redneck Garage Dave thanks for the informative videos I enjoy them keep posting videos. Its nice to see someone just down the road as I'm in Asheville. Thanks again.
Cool - thanks Kevin ! The South Rules !! LOL
Yes it does no place I'd Rather be. Southern by the grace of God! Thanks again as they (your videos) are inspiring to other jeepers and those who love to turn wrenches.
Where did you get the factory looking key blank? My jeep only has one of those round ones and then the spare is triangular.
Ebay :)

Also Morris 4x4 sells the factory key also.
My key just falls out of the ignition while running. Anything I can do for that?
Usually that is the symptom of a worn down key. Way year and make is you Jeep ?
It's a 99 Wrangler.
getakluus Black headed key ?
Yes, black headed key.
Can you make your door key the same as the ignition, glovebox, and console ? The reason I'm asking is I have full doors that are keyed different then the rest of my Jeep thank you.
It didn't work. Wanted to hear it start! Haha.
hahahahahahahahaha
