If you've lost the key to your 67 - 79 air-cooled VW (except later Type 4s) or if your key is worn out and you can't get a copy of it to work, I can cut you a new one from the code.
Full time locksmiths charge anywhere from $15 to $50 for this service. I've got a pretty low tech way of doing it (code keys and a very basic key machine) . . . but since I'm not having to pay for a $3000 code machine I can do it cheaper! $10 for one code cut key and one copied from that key. Your money back if the key fails to work! Scenic City Volks Folks members get a 25% discount.
These are cut on Ilco brand key blanks. They are high quality nickel-plated brass and have the basic shape of the original keys, but they don't have a VW logo or cutout.
Right now I can only cut keys with VW Key Profiles K, L, M, and R. You can find the code stamped into the door handles (inside the door, so the handle has to be removed) or stamped into the lock cylinder of the ignition switch. The lock cylinder has to be removed from the housing to see it. The code will be something like this - 24K067. There are other formats for key codes, but the only ones I can cut are always two numbers, a letter, and three numbers. The letter will be K or M on types 1 and 3 and L or R on type 2s.
If you're not in the area, you can email me the code and pay me with PayPal (

:cool:
