Door locks

I was able to remove the springs and pins cover from one of my 65 door locks with a great deal of difficulty per SlantSixDan and rekey it. The biggest issue is the cover seems to be some kind of press fit and once removed, it just doesn't want to stay in place anymore.

I see brand new locks occasional on ebay from US lock vendors in exchange for your first born. I took a chance on a set of NOS locks from a guy in Turkey of all places. Price was very reasonable; however, the guy said it would take at least a month to get them! The guy did give me a number for tracking but I could never get it to work. I finally got them about six weeks later and had to sign for them (Registered Mail).
