Hi all, I bought a 1997 mazda 323 ba last week. i'm just wondering how many keys should i have?. i got one for the igniton, it will open the boot and passanger door to but not the drivers side. Cheers in advanced for your help

It should open ALL locks. As a guess the car has been broken into at some point and the lock replaced, although the lock may just have broken naturally. You should have at least two keys (if I remember correctly new they have three) both of which should have a thick body where the magnet for the alarm is. There should also be a small metal tag with a five digit number on it - that's the key number and you'll need it if you want any more keys. The keys should obviously all be identical.

mazda had problem with key flaps that broke into lock may be reason for new lock being fitted. if you have no key number for your lock take barrell out of door and read key number of it alternatly you could order new barrell with you chassis number that should then return lock and keys too all the same.

Thanx for your reply guys. i'm gonna install a remote central locking system instead of repairing the lock. i think it'll be cheaper and more convenient for me.
