While turning into a parking space I felt a tug on my hand. My finger snagged my key chain and mortally bent the key. Being the only key I have I'm down to starting my car with a pair of pliers.
Who can re-cut 914 keys? I tried once locally an no one would do it. Attached image(s)

I’ve always been able to get them out with very small needle nose pliers or a pick. Call around to your local locksmith and if nobody wants the job, send it to Curt/TheCabinetmaker. He did a broken key for me and it was an excellent job.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Dec 7 2025, 09:58 AM)  I’ve always been able to get them out with very small needle nose pliers or a pick.

Me too, slow and steady and it slipped out for me.... Try to find a local guy who does work on old VW's. I was lucky to find a guy by my office and he was thrilled to do it for me and make extra keys. He was really into the project... I love people like that who appreciate craftsmanship. I took the tumbler and the broken key to him and he fixed me up the next day. |
