Well someone tried to break into my car again on Saturday night!! They basically wrecked the drivers side door lock and handle in their attempt to get into my car...

Anyways, does anyone know if I can just get the lock replaced, or do I need to get a whole new set of locks and keys etc?

I just want to be prepared with the facts before I go to a dealer...

fck ! sorry to hear bro .

not much help .... but ive seen a few of the guys in the U.S put like door "plugs" in place of their key holes . Might deter dickheads from attempting a break in . might be worth a look .

Does the lock still work?? if so you may only need the outside bit of the barrell..

where have you been man? haha

well the door locks fine, but I can't insert the key into the lock...

Might just need a barrel replacement. I'm not sure if a car door barrel is much the same as a regular door barrel but if so then maybe a locksmith could machine one to match your car key.

By the way, where did you get done? And again? That sucks.

Well I guess first time would be when I had my roof slashed, now this...It was parked on a street between swanston st and cardigan st opposite Melbourne Uni...Might be time to get an alarm...

You will only need a barrel, any locksmith wil then be able to
key it to suit your existing key. It's an easy job to do, have done it myself a couple of times.
I would hope that Honda do sell the barrel, at least you can lock the car.
Come to think of it do you even use the key? With central locking why
would you need to?

Thanks for the information guys, it's a great relief to me!

Well last month I didn't use the car for nearly 3 weeks and the battery completely died so I had to use the key to unlock it...

Winter really has been a battery killer this year!
