HELP: broke my only key!

I have a 4 door 87 XJ with a non-power hatch. Broke my only door key and the rear hatch is still locked. I figured out how to replace the door lock cylinders, but how do I open and replace the hatch door lock cylinder, and where can I buy the parts to replace/rebuild the lock cylinder to match my new door keys?

Get inside and pull the panel off, you'll be able to easily get to the works of the latch and open it up. Take it all to a lock smith and they can re-key the cylinder.

You know, the Dealer can cut keys from the VIN number, and they are not expensive...

IF a PO never changed a lock. My 96 has 2 matching locks... the rest, who knows.

I just took the entire jeep to the locksmith, and left it there a couple of hours.
