Classic keys for Volkswagen Cars

Below is information on keys for watercooled engine Volkswagens
Click here for sidewinder keys HAA profile
Click here for air cooled engine Volkswagens 1979 and older

Click here for Eurovan keys

The 1992 to 1999 cars may not have codes on the handles if they have been replaced.
The vehicle identification number (vin) has nothing to do with the lock code on these older models.

Only the delivering dealer would have recorded the code.

Water cooled engine Volkswagen keys that are cut the same on both sides

Convertible Rabbit "cabriolet" (golf) 1980 to 1993 is a mk1 vehicle but....

from 1980 to 1984 is uses the VB keyway (mk1) then from 1985 to 1987 it uses the HV keyway (mk2) then from 1988 to 1993 it uses the AH keyway (mk3)

Scirocco is a mk1 vehicle

from 1974 to 1984 is uses the VB keyway (mk1) then from 1985 to 1987 it uses the HV keyway (mk2) then from 1988 to 1990 it uses the AH keyway (mk3)



Volkswagen contracted with lock manufacturers to make the locks.
Some locks are Volkswagen. Others are AKS, WTO, Neiman, Huff, Hella, Ellen, Witte Velbert to mention the majority.
Those original keys may bear their mark. Those marks are not codes.




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 with a copy,
stencil, or photo copy of the key we are duplicating. Please do not send megabyte picture files.

 

Note: someone who writes for the FOX show The Simpsons must own a Volkswagen because in the episode NABF 18 "500 Keys"  Lisa gets the locksmith to make a key from a photo of the key in the school newspaper.


If you do not have a key for the lock or have lost it,
there is a one time code-cut charge of $24 for a generic key to
make a key for a lock that does not have a 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 us
with 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

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.
 
Some people have been ordering code cut keys thinking that their key is worn and that is why it does not work smoothly in the lock, this is wrong. Do not confuse cosmetic wear of your key with function. What happens is the lock is wearing out, the grooves that guide the key are worn and the key "plows" up or down and the wafers go with the key, not staying centered in the lock cylinder. So ordering a newly code cut key is not going to work better.
 
There are two types of key cuts. Keys that are cut the same on both sides are cut in two styles. One looks like a sine wave which is the original look and the other looks like a square wave.
 

Generic replacement key for Aluminum, broken or worn out keys.
THIS IS NOT FOR MISSING KEYS MADE FROM CODE NUMBER
Replace that old key before it becomes a problem or if you only have one key, time to get a new key and make your current key the spare. If you have questions please email me.
generic spare key, must send picture of working key
code HV VB AH N
enter code & email picture of working key

code cut keys are not "better" than the key you may currently be using, do not confuse style of cut with wear

(the keys below are not cut the same, picture is example of cut style)

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.

 

 

BEFORE YOU ORDER READ THE INFORMATION ABOVE, SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU

 

On 1992 and older Volkswagens, check both front door handles for matching codes


ORDER FORM FOR MISSING KEY (you do not have a working key for the lock)


Lost key, Code cut generic replacement for series SE SU SV SC K L M R VB HV AH N = $24
Code examples: AH6275 62K075 SU123

A generic key (no emblem) is made for lost key situations. Confirm it works by email and you can then buy 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. 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.

Back in the mid 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)
If you have a Vanagon, enter the letter N in front of your 4 digit code for lost all keys.

Need to send me something? Do you have PayPal? Yes? www.paypal.com/shipnow to make a label with PayPal, return shipping is whatever it costs you to ship to me.

You can choose 1st class mail for parcels less than 13 oz or Priority Mail,  both with free delivery confirmation, you can choose insurance too. No standing in line at the post office, just drop it in the mailbox! Most locks weigh less than 8 oz when mailed first class in a bubble envelope. that will cost about $4.50 with PayPal shipping. If you stand in line a the post office, it will cost you MORE.  Priority Mail flat-rate envelope is $8.45 for larger items that weigh more than a pound.

DO NOT SEND KEYS IN PLAIN REGULAR ENVELOPE, contents will break out and be lost in the mail. Use bubble or padded envelope.

DO NOT SEND SIGNATURE REQUIRED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, sending to a PO box circumvents the signature requirement that they charged you $3.95 for and Certified fee of $3.95 gets you NOTHING as it is used for legal requirements to prove delivery. Everything is tracked these days and yes, anything can get lost in the postal system whether it is insured, tracked, signed for, etc. Extra services DELAY delivery. The only extra services to purchase at the counter are INSURED or TRACKING do not purchase BOTH (insured is tracked)
