Try Gabriel in Rancho Cucamonga CA.  Here's his Samba link below.  Re-keyed my 59 ragtop bug/59 lowlight Ghia, along with proper rebuilds.  Reasonable prices.

Volks,

A tumbler broke inside the ignition lock cylinder on my ’70 Type 1.  I found a good used cylinder-and-key from a California vendor and got it.  Now I’d really like to get the lock rebuilt so it will accept my old door key, giving me a one-key system -- like new.

At some shows in the past I’ve seen a vendor who specialized in re-keying VW locks, and in the past I’ve seen an ad, previously in _VW Trends_ and recently in _Hot VWs_ .  But looking through my stash of back issues, I can’t find the ad or the vendor.

Does anybody know a locksmith who might specialize in classic Volkswagen tumblers and leaves?  Specifically 1969-1972 (the ’68 was a bit different, I’m told).  I can send them the desired key and the newly-acquired lock cylinder.  I’ve checked with a couple of highly respectable lock shops locally and neither still has any sets of VW tumblers or plates.
