i just bought a set of solex locks and i just wondered are all keys for the locks the same, because if they are then there is not much point in buying them, u may as well just leave the gemi locks on the car. because somone with solex locks whos got the key will get into your car. i just wont to know if solex locks are the same key for all cars. thanks all.

um

you dont seriously think that they would make locks that all use the same key? why sell them as locks at all then?

GMH are famous for making locks that camira and early modem commodore keys will open in geminis

but no, solex locks are not all made the same way. that would be dumb

and in terms of breaking into your car, anything that slows them down is a good thing.

anything is better than gemmi locks....
i had to get a new ignition for my car, so i had the key for the ignition and the key for the doors. the key for my old ignition starts my new ignition, but the new key doesnt open the doors. kinda wierd
