I think that my recently acquired '71 has had keys swaped out in the past. My understanding is that one key will work the ignition, doors, and front & rear trunks. Then the second key, the valet key, will work the doors and ignition only. Right?
My car came with two keys. One looks like a VW key (the hockeystick shape) and it works the ignition. It will not fit it the door/trunk locks. Then I have a large headed key that fits the doors and rear trunk. It will not fit into the ignition. Neither will fit the front trunk lock. Sounds as if the ignition key/cylinder may have been replaced in the past. But what confuses me is that the door key will not even slide into the ignition cylinder. I would like to get this sorted out and back to close to original. Suggestions? tom... |

Ignition swith has been replaced with a vw (1/4th the price). Door handles have been replaced and had new cylinders. Replace the ignition with a 914, remove all lock cylinders, and take them to a locksmith. He can rekey them to all be the same.

Yep, just pull them all out and take them into a locksmith. I have had to do it a couple of times. But nice to have the keys working like they should. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

QUOTE(vsg914 @ Nov 4 2004, 11:28 AM) Ignition swith has been replaced with a vw (1/4th the price). Door handles have been replaced and had new cylinders. Replace the ignition with a 914, remove all lock cylinders, and take them to a locksmith. He can rekey them to all be the same. Sounds like a plan. May just get a new 914 ignition switch and then have it rekeyed to match the door key. May be a bit cheaper and easier that way. Then get the front trunk lock rekeyed to match. Only have to have two rekeyed that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks tom... |
