Used door handle - can it be re-keyed?
Driver's side door handle broke. Going to pick up a good used one. Can it be re-keyed to fit my keys, or will I have to carry an extra key?
Thanks for the help.

if u open the lock, ull see that its composed of lil teeth.
Using trial and error, u can switch the position of the teeth so that it can fit ur key.
Open up a lock and u'll see what i mean
