So as you guys already know my car got broken into and even doh im glad that idiot dint get anything he still f'd up my door. Ive attached a pic to explain it the best i can but what i want to know is how the hell am i gonna fix it?

 

This'll work, with a little grinding: http://www.autobarn.net/woldlp.html
It's a bit butt-ugly, but it gives you the idea. I swear I've seen stainless steel reinforcement rings that fits under the lock, and don't look so obtrusive. I couldn't find any though, try searching.

 

a nice investment thanks but it doesnt really fix the issue of getting the lock to stay in place

 

If you can find those reinforcement rings I'm talking about, then yes it will by keeping the lock from pushing inside the door.

 

ok cool. Can i find them at a local auto parts store.

 

I haven't seen them around lately. I thought I've seen them at JC Whitney before. Search online.
Or....make your own. You'll need a hammer, sockets, and a dremel tool to carve the pattern to fit the lock. Go to the hardware store and find a steel "shim". It looks like a washer but thinner. You can shape it to fit the concave part of the door by setting it on top of the open end of one socket and hitting down with a smaller socket. You probably would want to buy more than one shim in case you go oops. Then you'll need to bend and flatten the outer diameter portion of the shim so that it's not mushroomed out. If you get too thick of a shim, or don't get it to sit flat against the opening on the door, you won't be able to get the spring clip back on to hold the lock. You might want to see how much extra space, if any, you have before going through the trouble of making or buying a reinforcement ring. You can reshape the spring clip too if need be.
The real way to fix the door is by building it up with fiberglass, grinding, and shaping. But that would mean repainting at least the upper half of the door, which sucks.

 

quicksteel thats what i used its AWESOME id show you pics but you cant even tell just make a "snake" of it put it around the cylinder push the cylinder in the hole and carefully scrape off the extra let it sit for like 3 min and wallah looks good as new

btw i love your illustrations

 

This is not an easy fix. The door is made out of a stuff called Sheet Molded Compound or SMC. SMC is similar to fiberglass but it is not the same and it does not repair the same either. When I worked in autobody we would skin the doors of Camaros, Firebirds and Corvettes that had their locks jacked like yours. It took less time to skin the door than it did to try and fix the lock hole. In metal body cars we would cut out lock holes from scrap doors and cut the hole out of the old door and weld in the new patch. Much faster and cleaner repair than trying to straighten the metal.

From your pictures it doesn't look like the damage to your door is bad enough to prevent installation of another lock cylinder. I mean there's a horseshoe-shaped spring clip inside the door that holds the cylinder in place and tight to the door. Is the door hole damaged badly enough to prevent lock cylinder "normal" installation?

 

I think im just going to use quicksteel. If not then im going to shave door handles. !!!!POPPERS!!!!
