Question Getting back to 1 key

Hey guys. So one of my cars previous owners changed the driverside door lock to a different one. Now I have a key for the driverside door then a key for everything else. How can I go about getting the driverside back to original? Id like to just use one key for everything rather than have to have 2, just not sure there is an easy/cheap way to get hack to it.
Thanks
PK

Not 100% sure on this, but a locksmith may be able to match them up. It would probably be the easiest to switch everything to a new lock from another car. I don't have experience in the area, so won't share to many of my brain farts.

I'd give a locksmith a call and ask them though.

swap the lock with the pass door (or hatch if it's the same).

Take the assemble out. Bring the key and the none working cylinder to the locksmith. $40 or more they can rekey the tumblers on the cylinder to match the key.

+1. Focus on an automotive locksmith since a lot of 'general' locksmiths don't do car stuff - no need to waste your time.
