HELP!!! cylinder locks

[pilgrimninja17]

what cylinder lock will fit in my back gate??

i have an 89 yj, if i can't find an original, what other lock will fit in, and do i have to take apart the whole back door mechanism, or can the lock just slide right out??

thanks for the help.

should only have to remove the cover - the bump inside the gate - has the torx bolts around the perimeter - then theres some linkage and a clip that holds the cyl in place... the lock itself is prob gonna be a dealer item - i've been looking round the local parts stores for a while for one for mine - should be easy once youve gotten access to it...

wait just hold on...would the Ford Door lock set DL15900 fit?

it was in the tech forum, if it fits the locks on the steel doors, would it fit my back gate?
