re:Re-keying a 115 GTV door lock



Dean,
	My GTV had only one key that fit only the drivers door.  I took the
passenger's lock and the trunk lock (didn't bother with the glove box)
to a local locksmith that had experience with auto locks and keys.  He
said that it was just like Fiat locks and knew what to do.  Returned in
about a week and both were keyed to my one key (got a few spares as well).

	Just take the whole lock assembly and let them take it apart and mess
around with the innards.

	'73 GTV
