Changing door locks on Classic.
Hello.I have a 1996 Impreza 555.The previous owner has removed the outer door handles,welded in metal plates and filled the holes.Only the drivers door opens off a pop lock system.The job was done poorly and the filler has cracked leaving ugly doors.I bought 4 used doors off a mate that are complete with handles, electrics etc.I wanted to know what I need to do to fit these to my car.I have no key for the new door locks.I assume I will have to remove the lock cylinders and have them tumbled to my ignition key or have new keys cut to match the locks.Also,is the remote central locking going to work or will I have to swap all of the electrics from the old doors? Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks

You are going to need to strip the door cards off the doors with locks. You should then be able to see up inside where the lock comes through. Disconnect the mechanism on the inside of the door, then push the retaining catch away: it is a flat "C" shaped spring that locates in a groove in the lock body. Once that's out, the lock will come out.
Pricewise, it MAY be cheaper to buy a matched set of three off a breaker......

Thanks Alcazar.Finally someone has responded.I have to strip the doors down anyway for my paint guy.He's gonna paint them,and hang them for me for £50 per door.I just need to get the locks sorted.The boot lid is flushed (And was done properly),so I won't need a boot lock cylinder.I will definately check for a lock set from the breakers.Got to be cheaper than having the old ones re-tumbled.Thanks again mate.
