Key Hole cover???

rolling18 · 01-10-2011, 01:20 AM

anyone know where i can get a small round keyhole cover?
NOT the type where you have to take the door apart and replace the actual hole.

I'm looking for a small round plastic "disk" or "cap" that can be pushed in the hole securely and removed later if needed. you would still see the hole but it would cover the silver lock. it would be black or paint it body color.

should cost no more than $5 at MOST

my old SAAB 9-3 had these..

OOOooo i like!

Thank you!

i would love to have these aswell, but they'd have to be watertight as not to let moisture in then trap it against the lock.

I have one of those on my car - only in the Black/Silver CF to match my roundels. Fits nicely - uses 3M tape on back so ez to remove if you have an 'emergancy' and need to use your key to get in.

You could always buy one of those, paint it body color...

XieJin · 01-10-2011, 04:31 AM

I ordered a set! Pics will come when i get them ^^ I only got 2 doors though, where do i stick the spare 2? lol

1QuikWS6 · 01-10-2011, 04:52 AM

Actually, I only had need for (1) - no keyhole on passenger side - only driver side.

I just kept the xtras in case I ever needed them to replace the one I used

Where did u get the black/silver ones?

1QuikWS6 · 01-10-2011, 08:38 AM

eBay also - have to look for the link when I get home...

ChasVS · 01-10-2011, 09:00 AM

Go to Lowes. Interior Panel fasteners work great. Of course they only come in White or Black, but there are several sizes and you can trim the Fastener side to fit in the key hole. 3/4 inch top fastener works great on my Jet Black 335 Coupe!

How are those installed?

1QuikWS6 · 01-10-2011, 11:10 AM

As I stated above ^^^ they have 3M double sided tape on the back

The name of the eBay seller for the black/silver CF versions that I described is 4aMotors.

I looked thru their entire store and they currently don't have them available, and during a search of eBay - neither did anyone else right now

The company @ the eBay link posted above have the blue/white, CF w/M logo, & CF w/AC Schnitzer in their store
