Depends whats actually damaged on yours. If you worried about having 2 different keys for door & ignition. The door lock are piss easy to get out. Just unplug and slide of the retaining clip.

Put an non remote central locking key case on the ignition ket. Simples. You can easlue see and feel the difference then.
