Hello Gang.
Anyone know of a good source for a complete key set. The '69 Charger I have recently acquired has all the keys mismatched. So, with that said, it would be nice to get something that includes the ignition/doors and console/rear trunk...
Thanks..
Troy

Everything? New ignition/door and console/trunk keys/cylinders?

Look for a good lock smith in the area. They may be able to rework the tumblers to match the keys up. I had this done years ago on my 68 Road Runner.

Your trunk key is different then the doors and ign keys.
You should have 2 different keys for the car.

Correct, originally, the trunk was for the console lid and glove box. I'll try and contact someone locally soon....... In a perfect world, someone's parted out a '69 B-body that has all the locks/cylinders and keys..

I remember when I had my 69 car's that the ignition was a one year piece and finding an NOS one (which I did) was hard and expensive.
I would pull the ignition switch unless you have the doors "open" and have it re-keyed to match the door locks.

It seems whenever I bought any of the "Restored" cars over the years I was always re-keying something. I can't stand having 3 keys but I guess many others don't care! It's like a to do list when the car pulls in, get proper keys (2) total then send out steering box then etc... Ron

Thanks for the offers, insight and suggestions. I called a local shop and they can do both door cylinders for $18 each... So I will just take two extras from spare doors I have and have them rekeyed and do my console and glove to match my trunk while I'm at it.
