Honda part number 72146-S04-003 is the OEM driver side door lock cylinder with two fresh blank master keys. It's the whole lock assembly that goes in your driver door. After 20+ years of daily use, the tumblers inside your factory lock get worn and your key won't turn smoothly. Sometimes it won't turn at all and you're stuck standing outside your car jiggling your key like a fool. A fresh lock cylinder fixes it and you're getting two new blank keys cut to match the new lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's Why Your Door Lock Stops Working\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour door lock cylinder's got little metal tumblers inside that match your key's cuts. Every time you put your key in and turn it, those tumblers wear down just a bit. After 200k+ key insertions over 20 years, the tumblers get sloppy and worn. Your key doesn't line up with the worn tumblers correctly anymore, so the lock won't turn or it's really stiff. Dirt and corrosion make it worse. Eventually you can't unlock your door with the key at all. You're using your key fob every time or you're climbing in through the passenger door. New lock cylinder's got fresh tumblers that'll work smooth for another 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eComes with Two New Blank Keys\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lock cylinder comes with two blank master keys already cut to match the new lock. You're not reusing your old worn key with the new lock. The blanks need to be cut by a locksmith or Honda dealer to actually work, but they're matched to the new cylinder. Take the new cylinder and the blank keys to any locksmith and they'll cut the keys to match. Then you've got a fresh lock and fresh keys that work perfect together. Your old key won't work in the new lock because it's keyed differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIncludes the Plastic Retaining Clip\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lock cylinder comes with the plastic retaining clip that holds the lock actuator lever in place. A lot of aftermarket lock cylinders don't include this clip and you're stuck trying to reuse your old one, which is probably brittle and cracked after 20 years. The OEM kit's got everything you need. You're not scrounging for parts or making a trip to the dealer for a $2 clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDriver Side Only\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lock cylinder's for the driver door only. If your passenger door lock's also worn out, that's a different part number. Most people only replace the driver side because that's the one that gets used every day. The passenger lock usually still works fine because nobody's been turning it 500 times a year for two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHonda OEM driver side door lock cylinder (part number 72146-S04-003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 blank master keys (need to be cut by locksmith)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic retaining clip for lock actuator lever included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete lock assembly ready to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeys are matched to the new cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSame lock your Civic came with from the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Honda Civic DX\/EX\/LX\/Si\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997-2001 Honda CR-V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 1996-2000 Honda Civic\u003cdiv\u003e1997-2001 Honda CR-V\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Driver Side Door Lock Cylinder\u003cdiv\u003e(2) Blank Master Keys\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Honda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130249371682,"sku":"OHA-72146-S04-003","price":75.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/OHA-72146-S04-003_v8n8.jpg?v=1775081470","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/honda-ek-civic-rd1-crv-driver-side-door-cylinder-lock-72146-s04-003","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
