Hi, I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years! We're dedicated to delivering quality auto parts, expert customer service, and fast and free shipping, all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We've created thousands of videos to help you install our parts with confidence. That saves you time and money, so visit us at 1AAuto.com, your trusted source for quality auto parts.
In this video, we're going to be working with our 2001 Ford Ranger. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your driver's door lock cylinder. This item is sold as a pair, and the passenger side is going to be very similar to how we do this on the driver's side.
If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this truck, as well as many other makes and models. If you want this part for your vehicle, it's available from 1AAuto.com. You can follow the link down in the description.
There are no tools required for this repair.
On the inside edge of your door, there's this black tab, which is actually a lock that slides through and keeps the lock cylinder engaged to the door. You can work that out with your fingers and remove it. Then remove the lock cylinder from the door. Angle it the right way. You can get the lock rod out with it. Remove the cylinder. Be careful not to allow this to fall back into the door.
Here we have our old part that we removed from our truck and our new part from 1AAuto.com. While this part is sold in a kit, the process to remove them is the same. The driver's side, as well as the passenger's side, are identical. As you can see, we have the same arm with the same clip for our lock actuator rod. We have the same size cylinder. The lock plates look a little bit different, but it's this slot at the front that matters because that's what the spring engages to to keep these in place. It’s about the same on the bottom there too. Again, it looks a little different, but this is the part that matters here.
The cylinders also come with a new pair of keys, so you can re-key both sides of the truck, and have one key for both doors and one key for the ignition. If your old lock cylinder is worn out and not functioning, not turning, or it's bound up and won't lock and unlock the vehicle properly, this new part from 1A Auto is going to go in direct fit, just like our original equipment on both the driver's and the passenger's side. We can fix you up right.
We install the clip over the lock rod. It goes into the first bend there. Work it back into the door. Line up the four tabs. Push in on the lock cylinder while re-installing this retainer.
Check for proper operation of your new lock cylinder. Do this with the door open, and check by watching the movement of the lock itself here at the top of the door. You do this with the door closer, and it doesn't work, you're going to lock yourself out of your truck. Locked. Unlocked. We're good to go.
Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.

These came in about 5 days and were very easy to install. No problems at all. I would recommend these as replacements

This pair of door locks fit my 1998 Ford Ranger, although a gasket of some type (not included) is needed to fill the slight gap between the lock and body. Easy to install, no tools needed except for a screwdriver or strong fingers to pry the lock holder from the inside of the door.

I ordered this door lock cylinders for my ranger pick up truck which was broken into sometime ago. I received it in a couple of days and replaced the damaged lock on the driver side door only for now. The only problem I had was tthe retaining clips opening was now too big for this replacement lock. I had to McGiver it to hold the lock firmly in place. It would help tremendously if the retaining matching clips came with the set even if the cost would then be a little higher. This would save a lot of time in replacing them. Then I could have replaced both locks with no problems. Other then that, I am happy that I can lock the driver door again.
Thank you. E.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered, but knew I needed to replace the locks because I could keep my Ranger secured. But these were perfect. It took some time getting the old one's out and installing these, but was fairly easy and simple. I can now lock my vehicle and have new keys. Thank you so much! The price is reasonable as well and delivery was awesome! Thanks again.

These were a great replacement and would have been 5 stars if they had come with the gasket as well. The old gaskets deteriorate and the new locks are a loose fit without them. I had to purchase new gaskets seperately from another vendor.

January 26, 2022
I ordered the locks for my 01 Ford Ranger XLT and my only issue was that they do not come with new gaskets and my old ones were deteriorated. The only other strange issue I seem to encounter is that when I unlock the door (which thank goodness it unlocks now which is why I needed to replace the old ones) the little knob inside will drop back into the lock position when I remove the key. Of course I get around it by making sure I open the door before removing the key, but a good fix for that would be great to know. I had no install problems after watching your video.
Perfect fit

Both locks were pried out in an attempted theft. These replacements were perfect. I watched the 1A Auto video on YouTube, and each door took about 10 minutes.

Not Great for a Ranger
Mark
February 14, 2024
Doesn't work that well compared to the OEM locks in a Ford Ranger. There's a lot of wiggle room in the positioning slots that keep the cylinder in place, and that makes the whole thing rotate a few degrees each time you turn the key. Still usable, but barely. I'm glad I only needed to replace the passenger side.

Perfect fit
Perfect shipping time
And the cost was just the right amount.
Now things in the can of my truck are safe once again.
Every part from 1A Auto that I have ordered have been correct and fit Will be ordering from them every time I need auto parts.
Also the videos make working on my vehicles much more enjoyable as they take out a lot of the guess work on what to do to fix the problem.

My best guess would be "maybe". I know the key my '97 F-350 uses is similar to an '08 Econoline key I drive at work, so it might work. I've never had a Ranger, so I couldn't say for sure, but I can say the keys themselves are similar, if that's any help.

yes the cylinder can be rekeyed.. you would have to go to a locksmith to have this done.. my inquiry to a locksmith stated that the door cylinder (2 of them) would have to be keyed to the ignition cylinder due to the number of pins in the cylinder. I believe the door is somewhere around a 6 or 8 pin but the ignition cylinder is a 10 pin?? . it was around 25.00 each so i declined to have it done.
