door lock

I wonder if, instead of such a plate on the driver's door,#2. pic. a lock for central unlocking and locking can be installed (pic. #1)??

I only have the door lock on the right passenger side, which only opens and closes this door

I'm not sure of the year of your car, but the cars like my '97 have only one door with a key slot. The metal key, used in the passenger door will unlock all doors, the gas door and the trunk, all at once. The key, when used in the trunk, will unlock or lock everything as well. The key you show in your picture does not look like the flat key for my car. It looks like the key I received with the new ignition cylinder, which will not start the car because it does not have the chip in it. The wife has the remote and I have the flat key. I can do practically everything I want with the flat key, but I do have to lock the car through the trunk or walk around to the passenger door to use the key. I have gotten used to it.

I made a spare key that is not coded and I can start the engine if I unlock it with the remote first. But if I don't lock the car with the remote, I can open the car and start the ignition normally with this new key. However, when I want to lock the car on the passenger door or the trunk, it only locks that one. How would I unlock or lock all the doors with that new key ?

according to the vin program, I see that the car has option #95 cylinder guide, and #98 keyles guide. Then I conclude that it could be replaced so that I could use the key in the driver's door lock.
All this because the second IR remote key is no longer available according to the official workshop. But I need a spare with which I can physically unlock and start the car (of course, if the car is not locked remotely and is not coded and protected by a code.
