Sharon,

    I'll pass this along to you. Remove a exterior door lock by opening the
door and removing the phillips head screw that's behind the weather strip,
push the rubber strip aside with the screw driver, don't pull it out! Then
gently pull the rear of the handle outward as you slide it rearward, the
front end has a hook on it. With the lock in your hand, look at two round
fingers pointing out about 1/4" in diamater. One of them has a number
stamped on it, you'll need to clean it off abit to see it, use a green
scratch pad. Take that number and the handle to a locksmith, not a hardware
store, and they can cut a key from that. Make sure you get the right blank,
the locksmith should know this.

I wish my 84 gl was a turbo diesel!
Joe
