Been robbed, need locks.. (some updates)

[mylittletony]

Dude, not good news (apologies for the understatement...)

Looks like I'm free sunday to assist with moving/securing/etc, let me know.

[jeffsa35]

Sorry I cannot help with any locks but it might help as the others say to secure what you have.
Or try this.

On holiday this week but I reckon I can help with Monza GSE full lockset possibly Viva too, will rummage when I get back.

Hope you manage to get it sorted.

No idea about the locks on those particular vehicles but can you take th elocks to bits and make them match a key? On the 924/944/VW/Audi's you can take the lock barrels out and swap the little pins around until they match the ignition key. The pins are even avaialble from VW as a set.

The little pins are flush if you get it right.

Colon:
Vaux Senetor

Phil
Monza GSE

(Mark/Phil - please add detail/correct the above asap)

I can probably help with both - I know I definatly have a complete lock set for a Senator

The Monza one I think I have an ignition barrel and key so it's a (NON) start if someone did try and get it away once that is changed but sheesh that's not a job I fancy doing - quicker to change the column IMHO for one with an alternative lock and key

Thanks Ian - can we say Yes to the Senny please. Can I let you know about the Monza barrel once MonzaPhil has had the chance to check his stash?

Hardcore: PM Welder on here, there is a chance that he might have a Manta lockset knocking about - or at least should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks - will PM him now (recognise the username from way back when on the OMOC forum)

Yes. Thats Charlie aka Welder, believe he is publicity officer on the OMOC and his wife Fi is the Chairlady of the OMOC too. If they cannot help you out then they certainly should be able to point you in the direction of someone who can.

Maybe even Sutty2006 on here can, I know that he broke one up last year.

[HARDCORE]

Phil has heard from a friend that Vaux dealers can still supply old keys, based on a code on the door locks - that'd be handy so we're following it up unlucky for me (well, in this scenario anyway ) I don't have any Vauxhals!

[sparkycapri]

got loads of capri ign barrels & door locks with keys will fit MK2 escort (wont be a matched set) but you can have them if you want FOC
you will still have to source a boot lock though sorry unless one of the other keys fits - which being a FORD is quite likely IMHO!

[scoobypete]

This may seem like a stupid suggestion but I thought id put it forward.

I don't know the layout of you guys place but this happened to me and a mate a few years ago,there was only two cars involved,the keys were in a locked cash tin that was nicked from our garage along with a few other things,we did eventually find the tin smashed open in the bushes near the garage along with the keys for the cars..unfortunately it was found after we had broken into the cars and replaced the locks

Might be worth a scout around to save a bit of hassle?
Ignore this if you have already done so tho,i hope you get it sorted

[ruffgeezer]

Trouble with replacing just the lost keys instead of new locksets is that if the bastards do come back, they'll have a set of keys too.

[markbognor]

That's awful guys, sorry to hear about yer troubles. At least nothing was smashed up!
Hope you get it sorted and everything secure again soon.

[dbizzle]

How's this going now? (I can't help, I'm just interested.)
