Smile Locking advice?

Hey guys, with my 280zx i need a new ignition barrel, door locks, boot locks Basically everything that can be locked on the car needs new locks and keys for it. i am unsure as to how to go about getting some as i wouldnt mind just getting a whole set that match the same keys.

Any ideas of the easiest way as to getting these items, or is anyone selling what i need? thank you in advanced

find a real locksmith ie not walmart. they may likely be able to set you up. if you have the cylinders they can redo the tumblers so that they all work on the same key. take the cylinders there it will be much cheaper than making them work on the car.
