I was very nervous about getting it keyed right but had no problems. It only took about 25 min from the time I was done reading the instruction to the time it was ready to install. I just wish it was that easy to drill out the old focus cylinder or that I didn’t have to replace it in the first place! Anyway works great and easy to figure out.

Don’t let the dealer try to charge you $350 to replace and rekey your ford focus. This part is all you need to do it yourself. My key wouldn’t go in my ignition, and when I finally got it in I couldn’t get it out. I could turn the key to start the car. If you can’t even turn the key to start your car the fix gets more difficult and you will need to drill the old one out. If you can move the key all you do is pop it out, put in the new one and done. The rekeying was easy too. I did it by eye and just tried the different sizes one by one until it would stay flush with the cylinder when the key was in it. There is lots of good info online how to do this fix yourself so save some money and go for it. If I can do it so can you.

I bought this to fix the lock on a Ford Focus. It works great. Remember to TEST THE KEY before you put the lock cylinder into the steering wheel column, otherwise, if you get it wrong you might need to drill it out.

Excellent way to save money if you have good mechanical skills. The instructions from Ford are tough to understand for keying the cylinder to your original key, but trial and error making the tumblars aligned and flush with the cylinder isn’t that bad. Just takes some time. Once the cylinder is assembled, installing it is pretty easy if your old cylinder is able to be rotated. If it’s frozen, you’ll have to either break or drill it to get it to turn so you can press the detent to remove the cylinder. Once you have it out the new one just pops in and you’re done.

worked perfect, the directions for choosing the tumblers was a bit confusing so I just inserted the key and guessed on each tumbler until they all fit correctly.
