How do I replace tumblers in ignition key cylinder? solved

LOL...didn't answer my question or help me...thanks anyway though...that would be the thing to do in a perfect world, and I wish that was the answer, but you don't know my situation sir.

Well then tell us your situation. And why did you have to replace it in the first place?

it was my understanding that this site was to help people fix their own stuff.

I don't see the problem with expecting that. I thought that replacing old levers in lock with the new levers from a new lock would suffice and save me money that I don't have to spend.

I know I'm no genius, but I am smart enough to know that the "right part" would have been the better solution.

Locksmiths change tumblers, levers and rekey locks every day so what's wrong with hoping a locksmith would have answered my question on here and helped me? Guess I was expecting too much.

Cameron-

I was talking about my 'financial', and 'time' situation.

Anyway, all of this doesn't matter anymore.

I dug deeper into the problem and found that the problem was not my key cylinder at all. So I fixed the problem.

Now I'll just return new key lock to store.

See. Return your old one and get a new one. Also, it is normally an electrical issue, which im sure is what you found out, rather than an issue with the key cylinder. Also locksmiths are professionals and have the proper tools to do these things, one mistake and you can ruin the lock cylinder and then you cant return it.
