door locks on an 87 xj cherokee

[87LaredoXJ]

I lost my door keys to my Cherokee. How hard would it be to install new locks. If anybody could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Its all manual locks nothing power so I'm thinking it wouldnt be to hard.

Not too hard. Pull trim panels, disconnect one linkage, pull off retainer clip, remove lock cylinder. Install new locks in reverse order.

might be able to take VIN to dealership and get new key made to if you don't want to replace both locks.

That is what I would do. I hate swapping out door locks. A huge pita.

Not too hard. Pull trim panels...Not too complex, if you still have finger dexterity. :)

I usually break the plastic clips before the interior latch handle/lock rods are re-installed.
