I put my only '60 Falcon's keys in a safe place; TOOO safe! we can't find them, the doors are unlocked and that is it. I need the ign key and trunk key. Which code will I get by removing the door lock? Thanks, Newc
 
I am not sure of the current market but when I had a key problem years ago with a '57 TBird it was only slightly more expenvice to replace all of the cylinders with new ones.

I bought new door locks last year for my F100 truck for the same reason,they were not much more than getting the keys made by a locksmith.You will have a hard time getting the ignition lock out though if you don't have a key.I think the doors and truck are the same key and the ignition is different.
 
Man, it's been awhile since I decoded a single cut key code but I think it's the first or top # on the lock cylinder for the ignition.

When working in a Ford dealer we had the codes and a punch-type cutter for single & double cut keys but I don't know who does them anymore.

I'd think that a good lockshop should be able to decode them. But if you have the door key take it with you; they should be able to tell which code it is, and which one you'll need cut.
 
My 64 fairlane had a key for the door and trunk, and a key for the ignition and glove box; I removed the lock on the glove box and had a key made for it; problem solved. I also have had good luck trying ford keys out of my gallon can; ther wwas only around 70 or so key combinations pre 65, so your chances are pretty good in that regard. Good luck!
 
My advice, keep looking for the keys. They'll turn up if you look long enough. Try to remember when was the last time you had them and what you did that day. It's not like they got tossed out with the trash, were they?
I have a terrible problem with misplacing keys so I made extras and and I try to keep all of them in the safe place.
 
pull a door lock and the glove box lock, if the codes are different you can then have just a key cut of the glove box which will be the same as ign, then either buy new door locks or have a new key cut, hope the glove box key fits the ign, alot easier than taking apart the ign
 
a friend of mine was a lock smith , he had a set of keys that would fit any ford in those years , thats what he said and he swore he didnt lie
 
i had a friend also ( Don Devanity) who had a 58 pontiac, that key would fit any chevy or pontiac ignition, he bought the car brand new, i think that key slipped by the manufactor
