I picked up a complete set of A-100 locks and ignition at the yard today. They didn't come with a key , but the van appeared to be not heavily messed with so I'm hoping they are all the same.
These lock cylinders are the same as 61-64 dart, meaning they cannot be rekeyed.
Is there a Mopar expert locksmith that could make a key to work these?
P.S. I asked the local places and they don't do this. They can only make new keys from an old one...

Nothing visible. I haven't cleaned them up fully yet, I did scrape the top of one and the side of another.
Here's a pic (the other side door cylinder is still in the complete door I bought too).
I obviously can't remove the ignition cylinder without the key or damage (it has the pin you push under the nut, but you have to turn the cylinder to align the hole to the pin).

There is a chance that on the side of the lock body there is the key code, and a locksmith will be able to make new keys from that.I just went to look at some of what I have, some are, some aren't.



Snoozed and lost...

Those can most certainly be rekeyed. The top plates are staked in, but they can be removed and restaked. Any REAL locksmith can perform this operation. You've been talking to key monkeys...

I'm not a real locksmith, but I could figure it out and probably get a key cut. I can tell how the good locksmiths do this without taking a lock apart, but you need a fresh uncut key. There are marks inside the lock that can be transferred to the new key by inserting and pressing the key against the sides both ways, sometimes...

If you can get the ignition picked and get the code off of the cly, then you can get a key cut with the number on the cly( provided that the cly has not been rekeyed). I bought the OEM stuff from the local dealer and can cut a key from the code by using a book. Any locksmith can do the same.

Ditto. I pulled a complete steering column and matching door cylinders at a yard. Took one of the cylinders to a locksmith and they cut a key for it.
