Lock System 84 fb

The previous owner ripped all the locks out of my project car and I was wondering if it's possible to buy a driver side, passenger side, and back lock and key online? I have no ignition so it's not a problem to buy one of those too. I just don't know if this is possible or if I have to go to a locksmith. I'm fairly new to cars so I don't understand a lot of things.

it's been a while since i looked through a Black Dragon catalog, but maybe start there.

if that doesn't work, maybe the junkyard or a part-out, then have them re-keyed by a locksmith.

if that doesn't work, your next bet might an auto parts store. way back in the day, a friend of mine relayed to us (our Rx-7 circle) that you could get a set of locks from a Ford (i think it may have been the Courier, but i honestly don't remember) and they fit pretty much like OEM though you had to bend the rod a smidgen. that would work for the doors, leaving just the trunk and ignition to source. i saw it with my own eyes, so it's more than hearsay. i may even have the set i bought buried somewhere in my parts stash.

i suppose you could inquire at a dealer. it shouldn't hurt to ask for prices, assuming they are still available at all.

EDIT:

also, you may want to ask a moderator to move this out of the Builds forum.

Thanks for the help, and I'm kind of new to the forums so I didn't really know where to put it, my bad.
