Re: Door Lock Removal
I have no idea if those lock cylinder mounting tubes/sleeves are available from any of the known old Ford parts suppliers. Maybe someone else will know and respond. From the looks of my '35 door, I think a tube/sleeve could be fabricated and soldered/brazed back into place. JMO

Re: Door Lock Removal
As I said, I own a sleeve. If yours fails to survive the surgery, and IF I can locate the piece, it is yours. I am the world's least organized hoarder of Fordstuff, so second "if" is a biggy.

Re: Door Lock Removal
Suddenly, I realize that I am talking with at least two people, one with a '35 and one with a '40, in fear for their sleeves. Thought it was one...
So, I own one sleeve and am not sure where it is here in the world's largest indoor library/junkyard... You guys try to get the locks out, and post developments. I hope no more than one of you needs a sleeve...will look for mine when need becomes certain. If mine cannot be found, I do know that Drake has finished major door stampings and lots of door hardware for his repro body project; maybe he can supply sleeves. |

Re: Door Lock Removal
Bruce I called Drake,and they don't sell the sleeves separately.The sleeve conversion is available only for the driver's door and only in the complete kit.FWIW

Re: Door Lock Removal
If you can't find one, one could possibly be repaired using the closest size chrome moly aircraft type steel tubing cut to proper length and machined out to fit the lock cylinder & set screw. Aircraft tubing is available in six different wall thicknesses in sizes from 7/16" thru 2" and each successive size smaller will fit inside the next larger size with the correct wall thickness in consideration. Wall thicknesses for 3/4" 4130N tube for example are .035", .049", .058", .065", .095", .125", and .156"
This would at least give you an option. Kerby |

Re: Door Lock Removal
Will try to find my replacement sleeve.
Another thought for a source of a make-do: Cheap indoor door knob kit. Part of this is a flange with D-shaped tube welded or crimped to it...take that, open and/or cut away the joint in the D tube, insert a piece of rod and pound that tube round enough to grip the cylinder. Flange allows attachment to inner door, tube id thick enough to drill&tap for # 10 screw... |

Re: Door Lock Removal
I looked in the opening to reach the set screw to remove the existing door lock.
It has been destroyed so bad I can’t get a screw driver or hex head tool to move it. Any been successful at drilling the set screw out. I have a new lock to install. Thanks. Dick 40 Ford coup |

Re: Door Lock Removal
I did as TJ and had no success except breaking drill bits. Maybe a Dremel with the right dental bit might work.

Re: Door Lock Removal
I know this was all posted some time ago but I'm needing help. I don't have much left of a set screw only partial half. I need to remove the lock so do I grind this part of the screw flat and then attempt to drill out the screw? This is on a 37 pickup.
Thanks for your help. Bill |

Re: Door Lock Removal
I had a similar experience with my 39, half of set screw broke off. I did not try to grind it flat but that would make it easier to center a drill. I did manage to drill the bugger out but I wasn't proud of it. Tapped the hole for the next size screw and was able to reassemble.

Re: Door Lock Removal
Thanks Mario. I just borrowed a die grinder to flatten it out. Wish me luck on the drilling

Re: Door Lock Removal
Start with a small drill bit after center punching. It will be hard to drill out without some damage to the threads in the tube. Maybe you will get lucky and not have to curse too much.
