1967 Camaro | Replacing Door Lock Cylinders

Welcome to Classics Are Better, where we appreciate and celebrate rides from the 1950s to the early 2000s.
Today we are changing the door lock cylinders on a 1967 Camaro. While I am no master mechanic, this should be step by step enough to help you knock it out on your own 60s/70s classic as they all are very similar. Get out there and give it a try! Sorry about some of the audio being a little muffled, this is my first real video attempt.
Please like and subscribe, should be getting some new projects going and filmed soon!

If the door won’t open from the inside what is the issue and fix?

[@CLASSICSAREBETTER]

Hey Will, thanks for watching, best guess with out seeing it, there is a rod that goes from the inside door handle itself to the locking mechanism that triggers it. If that comes unhooked or breaks then your interior door handle wont work at all. Good luck!

[@mayrazambrano1932]

So how did you unlock it?

[@CLASSICSAREBETTER]

Initially I had to run a plastic interior body panel tool down the weather strip inside the door until I could push the release that way. After that, I left the door card off till I knew it was fixed so I could just reach it by hand if it locked shut.

I just pulled the lock cylinders out of my '67 Impala project last weekend

[@brianmcpeak6135]

Nice detail but why couldn’t you simply reattach the rod to your existing tumbler?

[@CLASSICSAREBETTER]

My lock cylinder had bit the dust, it was broken or jammed up inside.
