Go to your local locksmith, they can usually come out to you and do that on site. Or go to the dealer.

So I have a madeco lock I took apart the housing it was in and lost one of the parts there is like a threaded sleeve it goes in well I lost that sleeve can I still pick the lock or do I need that to continue ue
