1940 Ford coupe door latch

[50fordcoupeman]

My 40 Ford Coupe has (what I have been told doesn't exist) a keyed door lock on the drivers side. Can anyone set me straight on this? I also need a door latch for this side.

At one time Bob Drake sold a retrofit drivers side keyed door lock assembly.
Is this car a recent purchase for you? Perhaps a previous owner installed it.

Thanks. Yes a few months ago. I never thought about a guy doing it himself.

Also, when Drake was selling '40 sheet metal he offered a driver's side door or a doorskin with the lock feature already installed.

Most likely a replaced door skin I am thinking.

Also Australian car [RHD] had this feature. Newc
