Which Ford models and years will this kit fit?

This kit was designed specifically for the Ford E-Series and Econoline vans spanning a broad year range. It covers E150, E250 and E350 vehicles as well as Econoline models from model years 1997 through 2020, including late-1990s and 2000s variants.

• Compatible with Ford E-150, E-250 and E-350 (1997–2020)

What parts are included and how many keys do I get?

The RLB-HILON package brings together the essential lock cylinders needed to replace worn components on multi-door vans. You receive the ignition cylinder plus four door lock cylinders, and two identical keys so you can operate the ignition and doors with a single key profile right away.

• 1 ignition switch lock cylinder
• 2 front door lock cylinders
• 1 side door lock cylinder and 1 rear door lock cylinder
• 2 matching cut keys included for immediate use

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

Installation difficulty ranges from simple to moderate depending on your mechanical experience and the condition of the vehicle. Basic hand tools are sufficient for most door cylinder swaps; ignition cylinder replacement may require steering column access and care to avoid airbag or electrical components. If you’re not comfortable disassembling the dash or steering column, a professional locksmith or mechanic can complete the job quickly.

• Typical tools: screwdrivers, pliers, socket set, and trim tools
• Expect door cylinder swaps to take under an hour per door for DIYers
• Ignition cylinder may need the steering lock to be disengaged for removal

Will these cylinders match my current key or require rekeying?

The kit ships with two keys cut to match the included lock cylinders; it will not automatically match your existing vehicle key unless specifically ordered as keyed-alike to your VIN. If you want all locks to operate with a factory key, rekeying or professional key cutting to your original key code will be required.

• Ships pre-keyed to the new cylinders with two matching keys
• Rekeying services available from locksmiths for matching an existing vehicle key
• Keep OEM numbers handy if you need a locksmith to cut or program a replacement

Who this is for: This kit suits owners and fleet managers who need a reliable mechanical replacement for worn or broken door lock and ignition cylinders on Ford E-Series and Econoline vans built between 1997 and 2020. It’s ideal for do-it-yourself repairs on older work vans, restoration projects, and shops replacing multiple locks at once. If you require keyed-alike locking to an existing vehicle key, consult a locksmith for rekeying options before purchase.
