Does your trunk lock look like something has been chewing on it? Does it stick? Thinking of taking a hammer to it, because it won't close, or worse won't open? Have you nicked yourself on the bubbled chrome? Is it an eyesore on your prized 914? Or perhaps, you have missing, broken parts. Maybe you're carrying multiple keys?

I can repair, restore, or re-key your locks, handles and ignition cylinders. I can also re-key your mismatched locks and handles to match your master key. Don't have a master key? I can take care of that too.

All work is by estimate, and does require that the buyer mail in his/her locks/handles/key for repair.
Turnaround time is 1-2 weeks for re-key services; 2-4 weeks for restoration/repair services; re-chroming is 8-10 weeks. Return shipping will be by, U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail Flat Rate shipping with insurance and tracking, in the United States. International requests will vary by country and require U.S. Registered/Insured Mail dependent upon availability.

NOTE: You must have a valid email account to receive the estimate. You will need to provide pictures of your locks, handles, keys etc. upon request, to receive your estimate. Your return shipping costs will be included in your estimate. If you have questions, feel free to message me.

If all you are in need of is strictly a re-key or basic service, send me a pm.

Example Prices: from these prices.
Re-key Services:
ignition cylinder - $55 (70-71)
$40 (72-74)
$45 (75-76)

$95 (914/6) If already removed from steering lock assembly
If not, $15 additional to drill and remove embedded roll pin

door handles, left or right - $30

trunk, rear - $35

trunk, front - $27

glove box - $22

Rebuild internals Add $20 per lock for above prices (includes all new brass tumblers and springs)/ $30 for 914/6 Ignition

Basic Repair Services:
Inspect, clean, lubricate, reassemble any lock assembly - $15/lock

Other Services available:
Replace door handle lock cylinder seal $5/seal
Replace trunk lock cylinder seal and/or chamber seal $5/seal
Replace door handle cam - (part and labor) - $25
Replace trunk lock cam - (part and labor) - $25
Replace missing damaged hardware and/or parts - varies by part needed
Replace damaged internals - varies by part needed

Restoration / Custom Services:
All restoration is by estimate only. A quote cannot be given without visual evidence of the extent of damage to lock assemblies.

Thanks,
Dan

So what would the costs be for say re-keying a lock or 4?

These should be straight forward.

I can see having estimates on restoration services, but re-key?

While it may appear as simple as that, it is not. There are locks that may need to be re-keyed, but they may also be missing parts internally and externally. There is no way to guess the condition of a lock from thin air. There are also many locks that are missing tumblers, especially the valet tumblers which are NLA, and are very difficult to come by, or have to be made individually by hand. So an estimate for a re-key, may involve more than meets the eye. That is why an estimate is necessary. I'm not looking to play games with anyone, just provide a service that I have already provided for a couple of different members. There is a need from what I can see. I think $5 for an estimate that can be applied toward a service performed, is very reasonable. Hope this helps.

Dan,

If you are going to offer this as an ongoing service you should post it in the Member/Vendor section too.

I have been a customer of Dan's, having bought tumblers, locks and a re-key from him. He is a great resource for us 914 owners who haven't got the time or inclination to do the work ourselves, and he does excellent work. I highly recommend his services.

Hello,
I do have parts to fix locks and handles. I can also replace missing hardware and degraded seals and damaged tumblers. The black handles are a set I made for myself, and I also offer as a custom service.

Doing another set of handles, for a customer. Get your locks worked on and don't get locked out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
