Vintage Keys for Volkswagen cars
Click
here for Eurovan keys
Volkswagen key overview:
Volkswagen manufactured most all of its models with a 1 key system.
The
exceptions are:
(1) 1967 and older with steering column lock
(2) glove box
(3) shifter lock
Your car came with two original emblem keys made of steel. These keys
were never ment to be used! You were suppose to make copies from these keys to use on a daily basis. When they became
worn, broken or lost. You made new keys from the originals. Many Volkswagen keys look similar. The tendency is to judge the application
of the key by the shape or style of the head.
This is not correct. There are many different keys with the same head.
You must compare the grooves.
The grooves are referred to as the profile (keyway).
Many profiles are mirror images of themselves. Example su/sv K/M L/R
E/H.
Instead of designing a new profile, Volkswagen would just reverse the engineering making a mirror image keyway.The key cuts are determined by a code. If you have an original VW emblem
key the code number is on the key. If you have a generic copy the code can be found on locks and handles from 1949 to 1999.
The letter in the code determines the profile (keyway).
Be advised
that there are multiple products that can be purchased below lost keys, older are $28 and newer are
$24 when you do not have a key to the car or lock spare keys, when you do have a working key, send the code and a picture
of the key, you can buy one two or three, this is not for no key situation emblem keys can be made, include code and
picture of working key 
The vehicle identification
number (vin) has nothing to do with the lock code on these older models.VIN based key codes only apply to 1999 1/2 and newer Volkswagens. (98 up
New Beetle & Passat)
Only the delivering dealer would have recorded the code.
Volkswagen contracted with lock
manufacturers to make the locks.
Some locks are Volkswagen. Others are AKS, WTO, UBE, Neiman, Huff, Witte, Hella,
Ellen to mention the majority.
Those original keys may bear their mark. Those marks are not codes.
Take a picture of your key today, it may be your
spare someday as a new key can be made from that photo. Send it to
the cloud or yourself. It costs you nothing, it may be priceless one day, for you. Write the number in the border of the title to the car so the next owner has the code.
KEY CUTTING PRICES 1949
to 1999 keys are cut to code, not copied, this insures that the spacing is correct and the key is back to its original form
and look.
This is a standard service to cut rather than copy.
We can send you a key made from code and picture of
the key we are duplicating. The code is required if your key is a poor copy.
If you do not have a key for the lock or
have lost it,
there is a one time code-cut charge of $24 or $28 for a generic key to
make a key for a lock that
does not have a key. Keys are shipped with tracking by USPS, often sent the same day. There is no extra charge for shipping,
tracking, paypal fees, etc. But please select the correct lost key form for the letter code of your lost key. This key becomes your spare, or you can make more copies from it.
The code from a handle or lock cylinder is needed to make the key.
Codes are located in various places, Door handles
have them on the mounting ear. You must remove the handle from the door. This is done from the outside with the door open.
See pictures near the bottom of this page for locations on the locks. email uswith your make year and type of VW for the location of
the code(s). If your browser does not support an email account, the address is, mark1service@comcast.net
Numbers like 111 837 205 D are not
a code, it is the part number of the handle. Number K150A is the
casting number to a lock housing. Any number that has a positive relief has been cast into the housing and is the same on
EVERY car. You are looking for numbers stamped INTO the metal.

charge for emblem keys with delivery confirmation to 19 countries, Paypal will require $65 EMS to track to other countries
worldwide without edelcon service. Numbers like 111 837 205 D are not a code, it is the
part number of the handle. Number K150A is the casting number to a lock housing. Any number
that has a positive relief has been cast into the housing and is the same on EVERY car. You are looking for numbers stamped
INTO the metal. Can I really do this? The answer is yes, since 1982 making keys without
one to copy from, using only a picture to determine the key code, providing keys for cars with lost keys. I specialize
in Volkswagen keys only. Since 1982 I have been cutting keys for the
older Volkswagens. Customers would leave their car and forget to leave the key. Within minutes, I could make a key and service
the car, and charge the customer for the extra key..... they were cheap back then.
Guarantee: Most
all keys cut and provided by me work properly. On occasion some keys need adjustments. On rare occasions I make a mistake
and cut the key to the wrong code. Keys will be replaced. There are no refunds. We will work through the problem. The purpose
is to be successful. Refunds would not be a solution. I have been doing this a long time. Key orders are usually shipped within
2 business days, often the same or next day after payment is received.

keys cannot be made to work in different locks. You may end up with all doors matched with a different ignition key.
Some VWs can have the ignition lock changed to work with the existing door locks and vice-versa.
PAYMENT:You may
pay by credit card through Paypal. Be sure to include name address and phone numbers when sending items to me. Include
a page of our email communication. Locks, handles etc with the key you want to work should be mailed via Priority
Mail with the USPS. They provide the box. Postal service Priority Mail video tape size boxes work well. They hold 2 handles
and 2 locks. Send it insured! Flat rate, coast to coast will run about $8 . Buying a box and sending parcel post often
costs MORE than the Priority Mail flate-rate box or envelope and will take longer as it forces ground transportation (surface).
DO NOT USE PAPER ENVELOPES
BY THEMSELVES,  CONTENTS MAY BREAK-OUT AND BE LOST
USE BOX, PADDED OR TYVEK ENVELOPES
Wrap items in Priority Mail Tyvek
envelope and then put in a paper Flat-Rate Priority Mail envelope for $8 online at www.paypal.com/shipnow
 Dont send loose items in plain paper envelopes,
article bounces around and tears the envelope open, exit wound Someone
sent me a door handle in a flat rate envelope, no padding, no packing, just loose, only the envelope arrived. This person paid for the "parcel" rate, but the postal service machine processed
the envelope anyway, and lost the key.
Original look keys with emblem can be made from your generic key. To
make a key, send a picture of your key. There is no need to send the key itself. See link below to use your paypal account for shipping locks and handles.
Photo copy both
sides of the key and write down the code. You may email picture, send only one picture of key pointing to the right and or
with the code side .
Shipping Label:

1 page of our email communication with your item. This
allows me to locate our email string, your email address, our communications, etc. when the items arrive in the mail. A PayPal invoice will be sent upon arrival of your locks for the services and

*prices subject to change*
It is well advised on the 1966 to 1979 Beetle, type
III, and Karmann Ghia to check BOTH door handles for matching codes since they are so easy to remove. Pay attention which
handle has which code if they are different. There is a high probability of success if both codes match. If you want to compare
on the Bus and Thing it is not a must. On the 68-74 bus, the sliding door handle is the easiest lock to obtain a code from
(75 to 79 on the lock for the sliding door), on the Thing, the engine lid lock is suppose to match and it has a code on it.
Ideally you would have a key, and
both door handles have matching codes. When you have a key, and the handles do not match, I can decode the picture and determine the correct key code.
When you do not have a key, the purpose
is not to have to remove the ignition switch to get the code, this is a highly intrusive way to obtain the code, especially
on 1968 to 1971 cars, you will probably damage the turn signal switch, you will have to cut sheath on wire harness,
pull wiring, wrecking a probably good, maybe original turn signal switch, and the new ones are junk, but that may be the end
result, so lets do everything else to avoid ignition cylinder removal. I send the key with the highest possible probability, if it does not work, I
will mail the 2nd possible key at no charge, if that does not work, the ignition is coming out Sometimes looking at the handles and doors
can determine the “original” parts to the car, and go with that code For example, you can tell that the drivers door has been painted and was a different
color, then that handle probably went to that door and another car Or overspray on a handle shows a different color so it is from a different car,
may be a different code If you have a VW and the door handles do not match
or the ignition switch is a different key. You may want to consider recoding the different lock to match the key that works
the other locks. For example if you have a 1974 Beetle and the doors match, the codes are correctly marked on the handles,
you may want to have your ignition switch re-coded to match the doors. Then you only have one key and you are not spending
money x2 for keys to the car. If you have one door handle that is different, it costs less that the price of an emblem key
to change the lock to work. Keep in mind that the locks must accept the same type of key, having the same keyway. If you have
an aftermarket ignition switch often using a newer VW key profile, this cannot be done. General prices are $40 to recode an ignition switch, (except security locks) $15 for phillips screw type door handles
(68-79 type 1), water cooled cars 74 to 99 (excluding some models) $29 for pin type or micro screw door handles(61 to 67 type 1, Bus 65 to 79). . BEFORE YOU ORDER, READ THE INFORMATION ABOVE, SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU ORDER FORM FOR MISSING KEY (no key to lock)
(this is NOT the form for
broken keys or spare keys)
Lost key, Code cut generic replacement for series SE SU SV SC K L M R VB HV AH N = $24 price includes shipping worldwide, enter a valid code
and key ships same or next day
Numbers like 111 837 205 D are not a code, it is the part number of the handle. Number
K150A is the casting number to a lock housing. Any number that has a positive relief has been cast into the housing and is
the same on EVERY car. You are looking for numbers stamped INTO the metal.
A generic key (no emblem) is made for
missing key situations. Confirm it works by email and you can then order an emblem key. The reason for this is should I cut
an emblem key, and it did not work, you would want a refund and we will have wasted an emblem key. Only one key is made because
not all lock codes are correct. Some have had the cylinders changed, you may have read the code wrong, the code was stamped
from the factory incorrectly. All of these things have occurred in the past. Only one key is made until there is proof it
works.
There are no refunds, should the key not work, the lock and non working key will need to be sent. Cylinders
get changed, used locks bearing the wrong code, etc. To head off this problem, check both door handles for matching codes
and send pictures of each keyhole to identify the lock if the codes do not match.
Back in the early 2000's I would
have you send the lock and I would make a key, but the success rate on valid codes was so high that I now send the key first
(cheaper shipping, faster service)

Codes and where to find them. If
you do not have the original emblem key that came with the car bearing the key code,
the key code for 68>79 Beetles,
Karmann Ghia, Type III, can be found on the outside door handle, open the door, remove the
phillips screw behind
the door seal in line with the handle, to remove the handle, slide it
forward and out, the code is on the ear with the
screw hole, see picture below
when you have a lost key, check both handles for matching codes, then the probability is
very high that the ignition is the same code Should you have 2 different codes, email me. Below are the code ranges for the
models.
1967 to 1970 beetle ghia type 3
11K001 thru 72K110 bus
1967 to 1970 11L001 thru 72L110

Key code for 1967 and older beetles can be found on the outside door handle, open the door,
remove the 2 phillips
screws behind the door seal in line with the handle, move the handle
forward and out, the code is on the lock button
retainer, the not chrome part,
example code for 1961 should be sv123, check both handles and ignition switch for matching
codes,
sg, sc 001 thru 240 su, sv 001 thru 630 se 1 thru 750
The 1967 and older ignition switch will have the code on the ear touching the
body where the mounting screw is.
Unscrew the screw from under the
dash, go into the trunk and turn the switch up to see the code, it may be
rusty
or dirty and you may have to clean it.
68-79 bus: the easiest place to find a code is the sliding door
lock. Same for 80-92 Vanagon.
68-73 has the key in the handle. The handle is removed by a screw behind
the
door panel in line with the handle where it pivots. The code number is stamped on the square shank,
example 23L046.
You may have to clean some grime to see it. Same for Vanagon example 6275, the profile letter N is not with the number
Doors with key cylinder next to the handle, you will have to remove the
door panel and unscrew the latch to gain access
to the screw holding the cylinder.
The code is on the side of the cylinder. The front door handles have the code on
the finger that moves the lock up and down, it is poorly stamped
and sometimes difficult to read. You will have to remove
the door panel, allen screws hold the handle on. The rear hatch also has the code on the finger that moves the latch. Three screws hold
it on. They are often very tight.
Ignition switch code location 1968 to 1999.
You must remove
cylinder by drilling a 1/8" hole
10mm back from the edge of the housing, in line with the key slot (off position)
Shown here is a 72-73 housing, the 68-71 and 74-79 housings are similar.
Some housings have a factory hole (72-79), some housings have been drilled
Black thing in the hole is the spring tab that releases the cylinder
1972 to 1988 lock cylinder type is shown with M
