In this video we will go over repairing a problem with a door lock cylinder and key where the key will not turn at all, or will only turn one way. The root cause for this is wear related and is a common problem after so many decades of use, where both the key and internal lock cylinder components have worn and must be replaced. The car illustrated is a 2000 Toyota Camry CE, but this repair and part numbers will apply to any Toyota Camry 1997 thru 2001.

As a newbie who's barrel is also doing the same stuff, the only part I found hard was the locking rods into the doors handle, mine were pressure release, so used needle nose pliers. as its 20yr old plastic can snap easily so take your time

Great video. Only suggestion is that you test your door control switch operations BEFORE reinstalling all your trim and hardware any time you're disconnecting and reconnecting your door control switch cluster as a step in a bigger job (i.e. window motor/regulator, door lock cylinder, etc). This is the best way to ensure proper working condition of new or reinstalled components before covering everything up and tightening hdw. ... And unless you're replacing hardware, you should not have any left over at the end of the job.

Usually the fresh key with the key code, even in worn locks, has worked great for me with no need to age it. Though I guess it depends on how much they’ve all been used. Great video

Everytime I see a video I'm impressed the techniques and information and thinking I guest I seen it all then I come across your video. I mean the others were helpful but they weren't as detailed as yours and for that I believe I now will be able accomplish my job. Can't get my driver side door panel off without opening the door so I'm unable to get my safety check until then, any suggestions? I noticed when I lift my door handle there's no resistance which makes me think the rod must have fell off but so far I can't find it, lol

Thanks, you may be able to remove the inside door handle and peer inside with an inspection camera, or at least a penlight, and see what is amiss in the rod attachment points.

1:53 did I get it right that on top of rekeying the new cylinder, you will also get locksmith to change the new key (that comes with a new cylinder) to match the old key? And to do that better they will put some wear on that new key as well? Cheers.

@DrShock 5 ай бұрын

That's right, you would need a locksmith to rekey the replacement lock cylinder to avoid having multiple different keys to carry around. It's an optional extra cost step, but one I think most customers would prefer in the long run.

@@DrShock thanks. I'm about to do the same repair on my 2005 Camry and wondering if it would be much different from your one. The cylinder I'm about to order looks a bit different. The engaging mechanism in particular.

@zhumusic-ng9tr Жыл бұрын

So I buy the cylinders and take them to a shop for them to key the cylinders??

@DrShock Жыл бұрын

Yes, to a locksmith to re-key them to match the original keys. Otherwise you end up with multiple different keys to keep track of.

@DrShock thank you honestly before I looked up what keying a lock was I thought a lock was like drilled.. out some how lolol the shapes. Thank you now I know more

@jamesmeegan4755 9 ай бұрын

How much did it cost to get it rekeyed?

@DrShock 9 ай бұрын

That's going to vary regionally by state and city. And whether you are an individual DIYer, or a professional. Your best bet is to make some phone calls to locksmiths in your area that specialize in automotive work.

As the owner of a 95 Camry with 220,000 1:41 miles on it and more than a little experience with locks, there is usually a better way. Most likely the problem is in fact wear. My key sometimes wont turn in both the ignition and the drivers door. Find a locksmith capable of cutting keys by code for your car. The cuts must be identified as to what they ere before all the wear. The result is a like new key. Granted that the locks are worn but the key is also worn. if that doesnt cure your problem then you can buy new locks. A key by code is far cheaper and easier. Almost 50 years in the trade.

Before you do anything, just spray in a lot of silicone spray, until it literally blows out of the assembly. 90% of the time it is lack of lubrication, or junk and dirt in the pins. Only cost 3$ a can at Walmart, and saves a lot of work. Done this dozens of times.

Might help in a marginal case, but not this one. In this example cylinder wafers worn out of specification, time to replace with genuine OEM parts.
