I have a 1934 Ford Tudor. The door lock is keyed and mounted on the passenger door. A square shaft goes into an appropriate place on the door latch. My question is, what holds the key cylinder and shaft in place? None of the photos I have shows this detail. The key cylinder isn’t threaded so you can’t put a nut on from the backside. So I’m wondering how it is fastened so it doesn’t just vibrate out. Any ideas?

The door lock cylinder is in a metal tube that has a set screw that you will see the head of by opening the door and looking at the edge of the door lined up with the lock. The head of this screw is near the door skin. Expect it to be rusted, you may have to drill it out and rethread the set screw part if it is in good enough shape. Good luck.

Here's some photos of the set screw and tube on the edge of the door.

Don, I believe that the original slotted set screws were headless, unlike the round head screw shown in the photo. The Ford hardware number was 89803-S7. Dave

Dave, You are correct about the set screw being headless. I believe that the photo shows a headless screw some what rounded on the end.

I normally replace the original set screw with an allen set screw.
