Eclipse door locks

[412chris2g]

Hey one of my door knobs came off on the outside so I just ordered some new door handles (exterior) for a 96 eclipse RS. And they both don't come with lock cylinders or lock rods or whatever I don't even know the name of what it is. It's what the key goes into to lock or unlock the car. Shown in the picture and I can't find any for sell and I don't have any on my car now.. Can anyone help me!? Thanks!

The door handles are designed so transfer over your existing lock cylinders. If you do not have any, create a WTB ad or look for a part-out on this site for a set of lock cylinders. You could also check a local junk yard for these as well. Just know, that you will need a set of keys with them as your original key will no longer work for the doors unless you change out the ignition and hatch cylinders as well.

Here is a helpful walk-through on removal of the handle:

Hey thanks man. And where would I find a key? Buy one off line or something? Because all the ones off line come with like the ignition part.

You will need to get a key from the person selling the lock cylinders. Your keys will not work in the new cylinders.

This is all under the assumption that you do not have the lock cylinders on your current car. If you do, you they are swapped over to the new handle per the removal instructions I linked.

If you take your lock cylinder to a locksmith/keymaker, they should be able to make you a new key.

I bought an Integra that had been theft recovered, good thing was I bought the car for cheap, bad thing was it came with no keys and damaged lock cylinders. So I installed a used lock cylinder set from another Integra, and had a key made to match the new set of lock cylinders.
