I had problems with my door locks and Steve Sandlin fixed them for me.  He
did a great job!  He even repainted the door handle I sent him.  The only
problem is now all of the others are lookin a bit shabby! He also made a
Rubber Headed Key for me that I am quite pleased with.  He maintains a web
site at www.steveslockshop.com

As far as the glovebox, I have a separate key.  It looks like a '60's VW
key, single sided with a cut out VW logo in it.

My van is an '87 so I don't know for sure if your's has the same glove box
lock.  Maybe Steve can help you with this as well.

Good Luck!

I have only 1 key for my 91' Vanagon. The key opens all 4 doors and works
the
ignition. It has a black rubber piece that surrounds the grip area. I have 2
questions.

1. This key, which I thought to be a "master key" will not lock the glove
box. Does anyone know why?

2) I would like to purchase a replacement key that looks good. With the
black
rubber, or possibly an upgrade. Does anyone have any info on where to obtain
this?

Thanks in advance,
Mike and Bread 91' Vanagon
