Dorman Vehicle Lock Cylinder Kit

Dorman Vehicle Lock Cylinder Kits: Complete, DIY-Friendly Solutions

A worn or damaged lock cylinder can leave you locked out of your own vehicle — or worse, unable to start it. Dorman has built a reputation over more than a century in the automotive aftermarket by tackling exactly these kinds of frustrating, hard-to-solve repair problems, and their Vehicle Lock Cylinder Kits are a prime example of that engineering philosophy in action.

What Sets Dorman Lock Cylinder Kits Apart

One of the biggest headaches with lock cylinder replacement has traditionally been the reprogramming requirement. Replacing an ignition lock cylinder often requires expensive reprogramming at a dealership — but Dorman's OE FIX kits come with an easy-to-use programmer for simple, do-it-yourself replacement. This approach puts the repair back in the hands of the owner or technician, eliminating an unnecessary and costly trip to the dealer.

The included programmer easily plugs into the OBD2 port to program the ignition lock to the vehicle, and complete kits include one lock, one standard key, two programmable keys, and one programming tool — all while undergoing vehicle try-on testing to ensure conformance to product standards and quality.

For applications that go beyond ignition cylinders, Dorman also offers combined ignition and door lock cylinder kits. Some kits bundle an ignition lock cylinder with two door lock cylinders and keys , meaning a single purchase can restore keyed access across the entire vehicle — a significant convenience for fleet managers and DIYers alike.

OE FIX Engineering and Broad Vehicle Coverage

Dorman's vehicle lock cylinder kits are designed to match the original components required to repair the lock cylinder on specified vehicles, serving as a reliable replacement for original components that are missing or damaged. Coverage spans a wide range of makes and models, with the OE FIX solution enabling simple installation and programming in just 20 minutes — application-specific kits made to directly replace the lock cylinder on certain Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles. Heavy-duty vehicle owners are not left out either, with kits available for select Freightliner models as well.

Dorman's kits include an exclusive patented programming tool and instructions for a frustration-free lock cylinder and key replacement, with no special skills or prior experience needed. This makes them equally well-suited for a first-time DIYer working in the driveway or a professional technician looking to streamline a shop repair.

Durable Construction, Trusted Quality

Each vehicle lock cylinder kit is designed to match the original components required to repair the lock cylinder on specified vehicles, and is engineered for reliable performance and durability. Dorman gives repair professionals and vehicle owners greater freedom to fix cars and trucks, and for over 100 years has been releasing tens of thousands of replacement products engineered to save time and money, and increase convenience and reliability.
