Probably a really dumb question but wondering where I can go get my lock cylinders replaced in the Denver area that anybody knows of? I have a 4 door auto lock and want to replace both doors, glove box, and rear hatch. I tried doing it myself, and besides the fact that I took the wrong one off the XJ in the junk yard, there is no room to get in there. Any help would be nice.
Thanks in advance!

Or a place I guess to get the real parts I need. It looks super annoying to get them back in there, but something I can do on the side of a street.
usually a locksmith will handle matching keys, working on cylinders, etc., but typically not replacing the locks in the vehicle. That would tend to be a mechanic shop or a body shop. There are tons of online instructions as well as probably some youtube videos showing exactly how to replace them. Why do you want to replace all the cylinders anyway?

The passenger side was attacked with what looks to be a screwdriver maybe. The driver side is completely falling apart. I have to put the key in a special way and line everything up to unlock it. Scared it will just completely fall apart some day and have to use my tail gate to get in. I want to replace the other two, tailgate and glove box, to make all the keys be the same.
