on a related note

The PO of my 91 swapped to 94+ tails, and while he managed to get teh correct lock, he didnt get any copies of the key that matched the lock. The only key he had (for the entire car) was a cheap walmart copy of a copy.

I took the the trunk lock and the driver door lock to a local locksmith, and based on the door lock, cut a key to fit that, and then altered the tumblers in the trunk lock to match the key he had just cut. ( I provided 2 toyota OEM blanks).

So:

Create new master key
Re-key trunk
Cut 2 keys (and he gave me the master blank he cut by hand)

$40

Thats a pretty good price IMHO for what he did for me. Way less expensive than having your trunk release break, and having to do gymnastics to get the trunk lid off by removing the bolts.
