Subject:keys and locks

Can I get original VW keys based on my VIN number, at the dealer (or
direct from VW?)

Also can replacement door lock cylinders be ordered keyed to the
vehicle?  I cannot operate the lock on the side (sliding) door on my
van using the key it came with (a duplicate, and unfortunately the
only key I have).  My first thought is that the duplicate is worn or
poorly cut, and just not good enough to operate the lock.  The other
possibility is that the side door lock has been replaced at some
point.  The key I have does work in all the other locks (ignition,
both front doors, and rear hatch).
