This is a Set of Ignition, Door, Trunk & Glove Box Locks for 1961-1962 Chevrolet passenger cars. Kit comes complete with the ignition, two doors, trunk & glove box locks all keyed to the same key. Comes with two Original GM keys, lock clips and mounting gaskets. Door locks are short case with flat pawls.
Special Note:
Door locks come with lock pawls. The Pawl is the small bracket which attaches to the end of the door cylinders. The pawl is what actually reaches in and trips the latch for the door to unlock. In 1955-1957 two completely different pawls were installed according to body styles. The U-shaped pawl, which is the most common, and the Flat egg shaped pawl. The higher located body side moldings on some 1956 models forced GM to move the door lock cylinder higher up on the door. This is why many of the 1956 models used the Flat pawl and a different door latch assembly.
In 1958-1964 two different styles and lengths of door cylinders were used. The 2-door hardtop and convertible models used the long cylinder, with 4-door and sedan models using short cylinders. When possible it is best to check the old original door locks for a specific cylinder style and pawl requirement.
