Opel Gt Exterior Door Handles

scodari · 10-01-2007

I don't have any keys for the car. I want to take the door handles off and take them to a locksmith to have keys made.

How do you actually get the door handles off?
Has anyone done this before?
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Bob

It's pretty straight forward. Take off the interior door panel, and the exterior handles can be removed by accessing the bolts that hold the handle on to the door.

OK, I have done that but I can only see what nut that holds the side opposite the button, how does the button side come off?

Thanks

The other bolt is painted over and is on the end of the door that faces the door jamb.
The key code is on the flat bar attached to the door handle, clean the grime off and it will be two letters and three numbers. Several people on the list have instructions they can forward to you for the locksmith about cutting a key according to the key code.

See if you can find the key code on the door and take a looky at this thread. MAYBE......JUST MAYBE........ Gene might have the "magic" key?????

Well it seems that somebody in AZ, not to mention the place, or their name Mike needs to send the container of keys back that they were "supposed" to a few weeks ago

I may have a blank or two or know of a place I can still buy them if Gene does not get his blanks back from mike.
