Currently there are different methods for obtaining replacement lock cylinders and keys used in the center front floor console compartment on the above vehicles. If a replacement lock cylinder and/or keys are required, follow the appropriate procedure listed for that vehicle.

The lock cylinder used in the center front floor console compartment on these vehicles is sonically welded to the inside of the console cover/lid and as a result cannot be serviced by itself. If a replacement lock cylinder is needed, it will be necessary to order a replacement console cover assembly from GMSPO. The new cover assembly comes complete with a new coded lock cylinder and two new coded keys. See Group 16.650 of the appropriate GMSPO Parts Catalog for part number information.

Also on these vehicles, if the customer has lost or damaged their console keys and the lock cylinder is okay, replacement keys can be obtained directly from A-1 Manufacturing. To order replacement keys, dealers should call A-1 at 1-877-725-2121, extension 16, and supply them with the three-digit code from the lock cylinder. In addition, dealers may E-mail A-1 at rking@demanda1.com or Daa@comteck.com. If contacted by 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST), A-1 will cut 2 keys to the code supplied and ship UPS with the following charges (shipping included):

1 day delivery -- $31.70

2 day delivery -- $27.00

3 day delivery -- $23.40

In addition, dealers can order a set of 174 master keys (2 keys cut to each of the 174 codes). Each 2-key set comes in a labeled poly zippered bag. In addition to the 348 master keys (174 master keys X 2), 50 blank keys will also be included in poly bags for dealers to cut from the masters using a profile key cutter. Master keys and blanks will be shipped via UPS Ground with the following charges (including shipping):

One set of 174 master keys (348 keys) and 50 blanks in poly bags-- $254.10

Additional 50 blank keys in poly bags -- $42.75

On these vehicles, if a replacement lock cylinder is needed, it can be ordered from GMSPO. The replacement lock cylinder comes already coded with two keys. See Group 16.650 of the appropriate GMSPO Parts Catalog for part number information. If only replacement keys are needed, they can be obtained directly from A-1 Security Mfg. Corporation. See the ordering information listed above.
