Vauxhall locks

Yes vauxhall can make them up for you at around =A350. Its not a big job to do it youself if you can get hold of a scrap lock or two from the scrapyard.

Ive made a few up in the past. The only difference between one lock and another is the combination of slats inside the lock. As there are only

4 different slats you only need a couple of scrap locks before you have enough to rebuild one. Once you have one in bits you will realise how to make a fresh one to fit a specific key(all the slats line up when key is inserted)

see here;

that was on a 200 corsa by the way. Im assuming the Omega has the same Flat type keys?

It never occurred to me to butcher a few scrappy ones. Great idea!

As new shape Omegas were in short supply last time I was at the scrappy, any idea if the locks are pretty standard across all vauxhalls? It is the flat-type key as you mention.

I seem to remember having the internals out of vauxhalls other than the corsa. Best bet would be to strip yours and see it the internals look like the ones in my picture.

Your only gonna need the springs/slats. I remember some locks looking different from the exterior but the internals were the same.
