Great video, the most thorough on the subject. My key was worn and the wafers would not lie flush so I filed the protruding wafer ends down until they were flush. Now my problem is the cylinder won't go all the way into the housing. It goes to the very last wafer and then stops. I jiggled it to no avail.
I forgot to put grease on plug and needed to remove it. I did not need to make another key. I used a drinking straw down each side to hold the tumblers in place. The straw will act like a spring to depress the tumblers when the key is removed.
Yea this is for the original key(s) . The thing about the ford focus is they have a black plastic ring that goes around the ignition tumbler/cylinder that responds to a transponder only in the original keys. When they say key code they mean the tumbler install you need to figure out the size of the little wafers that you put in the ignition.

Your amazing for this comment.
Exstrawdinarily creative.
Is this to go with your current key? I would assume if you use your current key you do not need to code the lock?
