I recently purchased an 88 rx7 fc and the key I was given only works for the ignition, it doesn't fit the key holes for the doors or the hatch. I was wondering what would be the best option for me in terms of being able to lock my car and only need one key. Should I purchase a new ignition key mechanism that would fit the oem doors? Or is there a way for me to rekey the car so I can use just 1 key for all the locks? I'm not too sure if that's possible or where I should go for that sort of thing. If anyone has any advice or knows how rekeying works I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

 

You could check with a locksmith shop but I think the easiest solution might be to just source a used set from a parts car...ignition, both doors and hatch. You could keep an eye out at any “U-Pull-it” type salvage yards in your area for a 2nd Gen. with a key.
I’m not sure what the post requirements are (if any) but option #2 would be posting a “Wanted” ad in the 2nd Gen parts for sale section. Be prepared to bump it a couple times over a few weeks and you might get lucky. Check any trader score someone has and use something like PayPal.

 

A good locksmith can rekey the doors/hatch.

 

Do you know any locksmith who can re-key the door hatch.

 

Yes, any auto locksmith can re-key the door hatch, try them.

 

You will want to search the yellow pages in a phone book or do a quick Google search for a reputable locksmith in your area. In the meantime I would source a complete lock set from someone parting out a car. You'll need the ignition switch, the door locks, the hatch lock, the storage bin locks, and the glove box lock.

 

Yes, search locksmith on Yellowpages or on brownbook directory to find the best locksmith company.
