If you're trying to use an old/used door lock to replace one on your car, you can take it to an automotive locksmith. The chrome cap will have to be removed and replaced and the wafers in the lock will have to be matched to your existing key. You can then install the lock in your vehicle and your old key will fit all locks once more. The locksmith should also be able to provide you with a new lock retainer for installing the lock into the door. If it's not a door but the ignition, a good locksmith can hand-cut a new key to an old ignition lock, or if the ignition isn't installed yet, he can also set the lock up to fit your existing key. Use caution when replacing ignition locks. Incorrect installation can lead to dangerous conditions while driving. If your vehicle has airbags, leave it to a professional. Airbags can be dangerous and require special handling while working around.

When I put my key in the ignition of my 1995 Subaru Legacy it won't turn over. The key works on all of the other locks.?

AnswerIf the key will rotate in the door locks, but not in the ignition switch then the key is not going in all the way due to debris in there, the steering wheel lock is binding the ignition lock (fix by rocking wheel back and forth while turning key) or mechanical failure of lock internals.
