I recently bought my 95 240 found out that the ignition was switched out at one time. So I have the key to start it. But the owner lost the key for the doors/ trunk. So now I can't lock my car. Is there anyway to get a key for my doors/trunk?

Buy new ones from nissan, find a parts car and take those and the keys, or call a locksmith and have him make keys for you

Yeah I had the same issue, called a locksmith and he got it taken care of! Doesn't cost much at all, costed me a total of 6 bucks.

You could also have the lock cylinders rekeyed. I've done that in the past for trunk latches and my passenger door

Could also just install keyless entry.

what do you do? Don't lock your doors :facepalm: :rotfl



On a more serious note to make me sound not as much of a d!ck, Re-keying,, calling a locksmith, or ordering new locks is probably the best suggestion if you need locks.
Just, I hope you tried the key, as 240 factory ignition keys open the doors and trunk/hatch as well....
