So I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?

Like it says above, I have two separate keys for the car. But I heard that Ford cars only use one side of the key at any given time, meaning there really is no point of the double sided key except so people aren't annoying by having to put the key in the door or ignition. So I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get a key cut that has the ignition on one side and the doors on the other. What do you guys think?So I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?First let me start off by saying ricks an idiot and has no idea what he's talking about.

From the factory if that's a zx2 it is a one key car. as the other guy said it either has had the ignition replaced or the locks on the doors have been rekeyed. What you've heard about ford keys was true in the early to mid 90s the old 10 cut key was replaced by the single 8 cut in the late 90s. What you've heard is no longer the case now. Ford stopped using the 2 key system around 96.



Hillbillies right about that being a mazda and the easiest way to get that key to work the door is to pull the door locks and take them to a locksmith and have them pinned to match the cut of the ignition key. normally It would be easier to remove the ignition but with that being a mazda type lock it will be a roll pin ignition a pain to service.So I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?
The ignition lock has been changedSo I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?it may be possible, but a locksmith will have to do it...both sides of the key ARE necessary to operate the lock. the locks have opposing wafers, odd numbered on one side, even on the other. A locksmith can put even door, odd ignition on one side, odd door and even ignition on the other. the escort zx2 is a mazda, not ford made.So I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?
Nope - The spines are different. Try ( gently ) to put the ignition key into the door lock, or visa-versa. It looks like it should fit, but it won't. Look at the key, and there are thin spines or grooves cut into the key parallel to the teeth. There spines fit into straight teeth inside the cylinder lock, and they are different on the two keys. Plus, that's a theft deterrent, having to have both keys to get the car to drive. That way, if you loose just one of the keys, someone can't steal your car. Now, for the finish: Getting a single key to operate a car is an option one some cars. The police/taxi Crown Vickie has a single key system, but you either have to order it that way from the factory or have a lock smith do it for you. In closing - That was a pretty neat idea, tho !!!So I have a Ford Escort ZX2 and the ignition and doors keys are different?well i have the same car and my key doesnt come outta my ignition ha
