Any reason you don't wanna just rekey what you have?
Many times I have simply swapped wafers around & cut a new key by code

Had just recently bought Truck, Driver side lock felt crunchy? Passenger side has little door stuck open, Key doesn't really work well on all, drivers doesn't work at all. Couldn't find E250 Hinge Pins, Tried F250 pins, won't work, Hinge is on the way. With bottom hinge pin slack, damaged Latch assembly, That is on the way as well. Once new hinge is on, removing door panel to change lock, latch, and correct a cable so when window is going up, it doesn't Flop 2" from the top, looks like Door had been changed out. Was like this when I bought. Has keypad lock on door, so don't need key for getting in, located code, last owner didn't have. Anyway, looking to change Ignition and 3 door locks. Thanks

Strattec but you aren't likely to find a set already keyed alike for your project

Better check the availability for your model Thing I don't get is you already have locks in your vehicle, why not rekey them?

Will give AutoZone a Try. Ignition works Perfect, the door locks have at least Broken Springs or little dust door broke/missing. Want to Remove Door Panels and Replace and be done with it. My Older Ford's, I would make key to work my Ford, and work Truck Ford, cut one on one side, other on other side of key. Did same thing with my Honda 1000 Interceptor, and Girlfriends Honda 50 Elite, cut mine one side, hers other side, Both worked Perfect. I think maybe newer Ford's use a little from each side, if I am Wrong let me know, Then I will just change Door Locks, Cut Ignition one side, Doors other side of key. All else, will cut a key, one side only and see if it works. I Absolutely, Definitely WILL change Door Locks, Just looking for a good source, Amazon. Going to search AutoZone now. Thanks
