• Q: How to Install a New Door Lock Cylinder and Ensure It Matches the Key Code on 2001 Ford Ranger?

  A: The installation of new lock cylinders requires exchanging all door and ignition lock cylinders together to eliminate the problem of having single-lock keys. A replacement key requires manufacturers to stamp its new key code number on a metal tag affixed to the key. An individual lock cylinder repair requires discarding the faulty unit and building a replacement cylinder from a specific lock repair package that guides construction using correct key code specifications. Starting with the front window lift the vehicle must be followed by front door trim panel and watershield removal. After disconnecting the front door latch control cylinder rod from the door lock cylinder lever the technician should remove the door lock cylinder by dismantling the door lock cylinder retainer first. The installation procedure ends with the reverse execution of all removal steps.
