Guest DR34 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 On my 1934 Dodge DR the two spare wheels in the fenders are locked by the lockable hubcabs.My problem is that I can't unlock them.I have 2 sets of original keys. One key goes to the door. (The ignition lock is not original.)My question is: is it the same key as the door that should unlock the hubcabs or the other key? Should it turn clockwise or anti clockwise? I need to know before aplying force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you are able to get a copy of your Build Record from Chrysler Historical, you may be able to find out the key number for the spare locks if the car originally had them and they are still the same ones. A good (and old) locksmith may have the key cut records for that key number so may be able to make keys for the spare's hubcap locks. Just a thought.

1936 D2 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Oh... The hubcap lock is probably different than the ignition or door keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DR34 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thank you. I just got the hubcabs off today. After applying some force it turned out they weren't locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
