I need to have keys made for them but as I purchased a car that only came with an ignition key which is different than the rest of the locks. Plus the drivers and passenger door lock will be different since the drivers door was replaced.

remove the door panel. peel back the "protective" plastic. look for the door handle. should be 2 or 3 10mm nuts, and 2 plastic clips (unclip them from the rod and push off) just take the door handle with you. thats what i did.

thanks I got them off. Turns out I have the right key but from years of neglect from not being used or oiled the tumblers locked up up with corrosian. So the lock smith has to dissasemble all 3 locks and put them back together. Its gonna cost me $36

For future reference, if you are capable of getting the door handles off, you'd have been capable of disassembling and cleaning the locks yourself. It's quite easy.
