Hey Everyone,

My door locks on my car have been giving me a hard time. My dad suggested I lubricate them and that's exactly what I did. Now they feel like brand new locks. Except for my passenger door lock. Before I did the lubrication my spare key broke in the lock. I bought a locksmith tool set but there is no way to get the broken key out from the outside because of the "vertical door" that gets in the way. I have tried researching on how to take the door lock off or apart and I cant find anything. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

 

I've removed the door lock on a 740, I assume a 240 is similar....

basically, remove the inside door panel, remove the weather barrier (plastic sheet). remove the anti-theft guard (curved metal barrier inside door, held on by a big screw near the lock latch in the door jam). fumble around and disconnect the pushrod from the lock, then there's a spring clip you slide off and the lock just comes out the door.

buy a new lock from Volvo, take it and your existing keys to a GOOD locksmith, and they should be able to re-key the new lock to match your existing vehicle keys.

reassembly is the opposite of disassembly

 

So what is the process of getting a new door lock? I am not seeing it online anywhere or on the Volvo site?

Thanks.

 

Oh, and from your experience what would it usually cost for the locksmith to do the work?

Thanks.

 

Get one form a junke yard, practically free...

 

Yea I thought about that but that lock was made specifically for that car and most junkyards don't even keep the keys. Therefore, what will I do? Will a locksmith still be able to change it to fit my keys?

 

Volvo PN 1382351 or 1382355 is a lock kit for the right-hand door cylinder. one of those, you give the dealer your car's VIN number, and get the lock with the CORRECT keying already. I don't know if this works anymore.


my locksmith said like $50 or something to rekey a lock if I bring it to him already out of the car along with the key to that lock, and the key to the car that I want to use....
