The keys worked for what I was shipped. Well I wanted to document what tumblers were in the the door sets. After dis-assembly, the door locks only had one of the five tumblers and the ignition had two of the five. Not a whole lot keeping things safe. Just cheeped out on the unseen parts.

Thank you for taking the initiative and sharing it with us. I may just have to replace that switch with the original one that I repaired (replaced the broken key-in lever).

Tumblers were falling apart - ended up using a good used set. They're in Akron. I've been there a few times for stuff and always got great service/products. That sucks they sent you garbage.
