Glad to be able to help. In some cases locks were changed over the
years and the door & ignition keys no longer match, but hopefully
that's not the case for you. There are codes on the tumblers that a
locksmith can use to make a key w/o having the original. If you do
that, ask the locksmith to write the codes down for you. The tumblers
can also be re-inserted in a different order to re-code an existing
cylinder so that old keys will no longer work.
There's also a diagram in the Fisher Body Manual that you can lay a
key on to figure out the tumbler codes. I did this once and emailed
the codes to a guy in another state, and he was able to make new keys
for me w/o ever seeing the originals. Of course this is not terribly
useful because you need to have a key to do it, but it is another way
to determine your key codes, which you can write down and save in case
you lose the keys in the future. In my case, I just did it as an
experiment to see if it would work, and it did. It is also helpful in
cases where the key you have is very worn, because the new one will
match the original rather than the worn out one.

You can take the lock cylinder out of the door and have a new key made
for it. Ignition & doors are the same.

Bill,
Tip from your Uncle Rich; make a spare set for every vehicle you own and
keep in a protected area, ie. desk drawer, tool box, safety deposit box,
etc.
I own 8 vehicles and keys, as you can guess, became an issue a few years
back. Made spares and they are hidden but easily accessible.
Regards,
Rich

Been there... Done that.
My oldest son pissed me off one day so I took away his brand new Ipod and
hid it. After the punishment was over, I couldn't remember where I put it.
We searched the house to no avail. Finally decided it must have been
thrown away by mistake. It was over a year later going through a box in
the garage when I pulled out a heavy leather glove. Dam thing was almost
obsolete when he finally got it back.
It was a good lesson for both of us. He now knows to back off before
taking me over the edge and I know not to hide stuff when I've had a

Johann, Is this your Malibu? If it is, I'm impressed with how you had to
improvise. Nice car! I ran across it on Chevy Talk.

Got to give you credit Johann. I wouldn't even consider trying to make

I had a similar problem on my 65 Malibu right hand drive. With latches
not available locally (South Africa) you start to improvise. What I
found
is that the latch has three internal springs. Two of them were broken.
This resulted in the push-pull method of opening and the softly
push/bump
closing. Made up new springs and the door is fine! To use more force
only aggrevates the problem. The latch is fairly simple to repair. Take
your time! A rushed job is a botched job!

That's interesting. Thanks.
Considering that I drove the car for four winters with no heat and
just
got around to fixing that last year, the door problem has been low on
the priority list.
Quoting ROARKE PONCE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
My father-in-law said to take the latch and handle out and slip
hoses
(old brake hose, gas line, whatever has a small enough ID to fit)
over the ends of the levers. If I remember correctly, you can put
hoses on both sides if needed or just one. Depends on how much
slack
you have to take up. Buys you some time before replacing the latch.
Hope this helps.
