KEYS AND LOCKS
Four keys (two hexagonal head and two round head) are
provided with each vehicle. The hexagonal-head key
operates the ignition switch and front door locks. The
round-head key operates the locks for the glove box and
rear compartment lid.
' Lock cylinders (except trunk) are furnished for service
uncoded, this necessitates the coding of these replace-
ment lock cylinders.
NOTE: In service, the trunk and glove box
lock cylinders are provided together with the
trunk lock cylinder coded and the glove box
cylinder uncoded.
The side bar type lock (fig. 18) is used for the ignition,
front doors and trunk. The glove box lock is of the wafer
CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL
GENERAL INFORMATION

Once the code number of the lock is obtained look up
this number in a key cutting book.
All side bar locks (except trunk) furnished to the field
by the Parts' Department are uncoded, that is, they are
furnished without tumblers, springs or spring retainers,
these parts are serviced separately. The tumblers come
in five different depths, indicated by numbers.
The side bar locks have six tumbler positions, and in
looking up the cutting code, the following may be used as
an example. After key code number is determined, either
from key or from number stamped on lock cylinder refer
to your code book and record the key cutting information
as follows:
Key of Lock
Code Number
0V11
Cutting or Tumbler
position from head
of lock
Key Cutting
Code Numerical
545431
123456
NOTE:
Key blanks used for ignition and door
locks are stamped with an "A" while rear com-
partment and glove box blanks are stamped with
a "B".
The number that is written above the cutting or tumbler
position indicates each different tumbler which is to be
dropped into each tumbier slot of the lock.
In cases where a code book is not available, the dia-
gram shown on Figure 19 may be used to determine the
tumblers required to assemble an uncoded lock cylinder.
1.
Lay the key on the diagram (fig. 19) with bottom of
key flush with edge of the drawing, head and point
carefully lined up.
2.
Read the code in numbers 12345 from the head of the
key to the end from positions 1 to 6 inclusive. As
each depth is determined write that number in the
blank space provided above the position numbers
(1-2-3-4-5-6).
3.
With key properly lined up on diagram, all cuts that
show in the first section are marked
"1"
J
4.
Cuts that fall in the first black section, mark "2".
5. Cuts that fall in the first white section, mark "3".
6. Cuts that fall in second black section, mark "4".
7. Cuts that fall in the second white section, mark "5".
After the numbers have been determined and written
above the cutting positions the lock cylinder should be
assembled as follows.
Lock Cylinder Assembly—Refer to Figure 20
1.
Hold cylinder with head of cylinder away and starting
•... at the head of the cylinder, insert the tumblers in
their proper slots in the order called for by the
code, ribbed side toward you and long point down.
2.
After all tumblers are in place, check for correct-
ness with the code. Then press tumblers down with
one finger.
3.
Insert one tumbler spring in the space provided
above each tumbler.
CAUTION: If the springs are tangled, do not
pull them apart—unscrew them.
4.
Reverse the lock cylinder so that the head of the
cylinder is now toward you. Insert the spring re-
tainer so that one of its six prongs enters into each
of the springs and the two large end prongs slide into
the slots at either end of the cylinder. Press the
retainer down with one finger.
5. To check, insert proper key and if tumblers are in-
stalled properly the side bar will be allowed to drop
down. If bar does not drop down, remove the key,
spring retainer, springs and tumblers and reas-
semble correctly.
NOTE:
If the tumblers have not been assembled
correctly and not according to the code, the
tumblers can be removed from the cylinder by
holding it with the tumbler slots down, pulling
the side bar out with the fingers and jarring the
cylinder to shake the tumblers out. This pro-
cedure is necessary because after the tumblers
have been pressed down into the cylinder they
are held in their slots by the cross bar.
6. If after checking it is found that the lock is as-
sembled properly, remove key and place cylinder in
