2007 Ford E-250 Door Lock Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install a new Door Lock Cylinder and ensure it matches the current key code on 2007 Ford E-250?

  A: A new lock cylinder setup should always include the door lock cylinder together with the ignition lock cylinder to prevent having an additional key only functioning in one lock. A new key receives key code stamping from the system which creates a metal tag for its attachment. To conduct individual lock cylinder repairs replace the defective lock cylinder before constructing a new unit with instructions available in the proper lock repair package that enables matching the key code number of the vehicle. You should start by taking away the door trim panels (if present) before removing each lock cylinder from different doors. The process to remove door lock cylinders starts with disconnecting the rod from side and front door lock cylinders followed by retainer removal to extract the door lock cylinder. To handle rear door removal the license plate housing requires four screws which must be unscrewed and placed aside before disconnecting the actuating rod from the lock cylinder and door latch cable and finally extracting the retainer and door lock cylinder. Sliding door owners must first disconnect the speaker wires and remove its four screws before detaching the electrical connector and rod from the lock cylinder and afterward taking out the speaker retainer as well as cylinder. The new lock cylinder installation requires following the reverse steps of removal.
