I had Steve rebuild the lock cylinders and make new keys for my Transporter
single cab.  I received at least one each of the style options mentioned
below and all of them are very high quality and work perfectly.

Doka and Sinka folks please note:  The plastic headed keys (VW logo or
Italian made) cannot be inserted far enough into the treasure chest door
locks to operate the locks.  Be sure to retain a good all metal "hardware
store generic" key for your treasure chest!

Steve's work is excellent and my door locks operate as new.

Subject: Vanagon key blanks

There has been a bit of discussion on the availability of key blanks, and
several people asking me what I have available, so here goes.  I keep in
stock plain metal hardware-store generic blanks, an Italian-made black
plastic headed key blank, and the VW original with the plastic head and
inset chrome logo.  There has never been a replacement blade made for the
flip keys in the Vanagon keyway.  With worn locks, yo can force the key for
the other water-cooled cars into the Vanagon locks, but it is not correct.
We see lots of Vanagon keys sent to us that are incorrectly cut on that
keyblank.

Thanks for the continuing support.
