Locks

Hi, have a omega 2.2 CDX 02 plate and have a question about the lock set, if i want to replace the locks do i need just drivers door and ignition? The reason i am asking is that keys i have start car but will not open drivers door, have to use remote. Could i get the drivers door lock altered to use the keys i have and if so can an auto locksmith do it easily. If not what else will i need. Thanks in advance

Would be best to thoroughly soak it in cleaner, let it soak long enough, then dismantle the whole thing, clean and dry and the lube it. Quite a lot of work but only way to get it good again.
