[QUOTE="Keith McElroy, post: 590331, member: 63212"] I bought a used hard tonneau cover with no key and a (semi-complete) tumbler set from one of the members here. I picked the locks to remove them from the lock cylinders, then changed out the tumblers to match my keys, and viola, a perfectly keyed tonneau. The method to get the lock cores out were pretty confusing. You have to turn the lock inside the cylinder about 190 degrees (just past center) clockwise, pull the core out about 1/4 inch, then 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then pull all the way out. This requires actually picking the lock twice because it passes the tumbler channels twice. Luckily, one of the tumbler channels is open, so you don't have to pick that side, just use a flathead screwdriver to compress the tumblers. Took me about an hour to get everything apart, the new tumblers selected and installed, and put back in the tonneau. [/QUOTE]
