In 1993 Chrysler has improved security in their Double-Bitted locking system. All 1993 vehicles will utilize a new key groove (78 primary, 79 vallet), the change in key groove will initiate a keyway restricted vallet system and new J-Series codes. A seventh tumbler has been added to the ignitions.

To continue giving your customers the quality service their use to, the following should be noted when servicing the 1993 vehicles:
• Some new component parts have been added to the line, old component parts remain unchanged. (Tumblers, Caps, Shutters, Springs, Pawls, Shafts)
• New lock service packages will be required for 1993.

In fall 1992 Chrysler introduced its new LH vehicles (Eagle Vision, Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid).
