So, I'm likely picking up a used door for my car. The door I am getting does not have a key though. Is there a shop someone can recommend that can make a key for that door, or better yet, make the door match the key I already have for the car?

Re: Getting keys made
assuming you aren't driving around w/o a door at the moment why can't you just swap lock cylinders over?Originally posted by Chantastic

Locksmith is the only place that can re-code your lock cylinder so that you only have one key for all doors.
Otherwise, as someone has mentioned, swap out the lock cylinders.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

I even hitchhiked to the library once cuz my parents were too lazy to drive me haha. Ya, I'm a nerd.

^ Yeah most if not all locksmiths can make a key for you using the existing (key-less) lock.
Otherwise they (or you) can just swap out the key tumbler.

My driver door is the damaged one, but since I ended up picking up a pair of doors, I think I might replace the passenger side as well. My current passenger door lock is completely seized and has a chunk of a key stuck in it anyway.
It might actually just be better to get a new key made for the doors.
Thanks for the responses

Locksmith can take the key-code from either your ignition cylinder or your trunk cylinder and re-code the door cylinders that way. Its up to you if you don't mind having 2 sets of keys.

I just got the door off, and managed to get the door handle/key tumbler out. If I can manage to swap it into the new door, win!
It was a lot easier knowing that I didn't need the old door though, I just bent/broke everything to get the handle out
