Door locks

Hi guys just wondering as I can't see the answer via google what is the difference between the locks as ones for air bag and none air bag I assume that's its more to do with the ignition

Not quite sure what your getting at up to 2000 there isn't any connection between the door locks and the air bags.

The steering locks are (apparently) different between airbag & non airbag models.
There wont be any difference in the door locks barrels.

On that note has anyone found a supplier of blank locks so I can make it up to suit my key? Some scumbag (unsuccessfully) tried to break in to mines last week the lock face is damaged. I have OCD about having different keys/locks so not putting a different barrel & key in.

The tubular locks are a waste of time, there are tools available online that can open them with practically no skill whatsoever.
The other issue is you could get the best hardened, drill & pick resistant locks but at the end of the day they are mounted on a piece of sheet metal a few mm thick. They just puncture the metal around the lock with the screwdriver & pop it out of the door.
