Help! 1969 door key

[Red73BB]

Hello,

I just bought a 1969 Corvette Conv with no door key. The owner claimed that he didn't have one. What do I need to do to have a key made? do I have to take the door apart to remove the door lock. any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have any original paperwork for the car? Key codes are often on the dealer invoice.

You can replace the door lock cylinders with a new set which would include keys, or you can remove one of the existing lock cylinders and get the code off of it. Either choice will have you going into the door.

Until you have a working key, you want to be careful not to lock yourself out of the car. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it happens.

Good luck.

Thanks Mike,
No paper work came with the car. it sounds like my only option is to remove the lock.
