Good To Know

Q: Can I key this lock cylinder to match my existing Ford ignition key? A: The lock cylinder is typically set for a specific key code; a local locksmith or dealer can re-key it to match your original key.

Q: Does this handle kit come with the rods and clips needed to connect to the latch mechanism? A: The set includes the handle, bezel, lock cylinder, and attaching hardware, but you may need to reuse or obtain linkage rods separately depending on your truck’s configuration.
