F/S Tweet's Lock Re-Key / Repair / Restoration Services, For all of your Lock Needs Options

[tweet]

Do you sell parts outright or on an exchange basis? It would be nice to not have the car down for 2 months if we are getting rechromed etc.
My passenger side is broken and may not be usable. So I might need to buy that part outright.

Completed another restoration for a customer that found my services through Ebay.

Hi
Can you tell me which key should fit the trunk? My lock won't accept any key. I have both the red and black keys but appear to use the red one for every lock except the trunk. Is that supposed to be correct.
I would also send you the trunk lock for repair but I need it to open and close the bloody trunk. Do you have any spares which you could build up if I send you a key?
Cheers

Here's a small job I did for an eBay customer. This is some feedback he sent me:

"Dan,
I received the locks yesterday. Everything works and looks great. The new keys function in the door and ignition very well. I appreciate your attention to detail and you commitment to the work. When I or my friends need lock work you will be the first to call.
thank you
D*****n"
AND
"Great work THE ONLY one to have locks repaired."

Before and After of a trunk lock and t-handle restoration.

Dan and Alicia recently reworked all of my locks to return them to factory standards. Indeed, they were a collection of random bits added to, and swapped out, for years / now all returned to clean working order with both daily driver's key and valet keys cut to a perfection.

I highly recommend this service to straighten out the need for multiple keys or to regain security to your trunks, glove box, and ignition.

Thank you Forrest, we are glad to have been of help on your restoration project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

ALCON,

I sent the door handles for my 912 to Dan with the key that worked in my ignition, and within a week had my handles back rekeyed, cleaned and lubed.

Highly recommend his services!

Thanks Dan!

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad I could be of service.
Below is a picture of Steve's handles after servicing.

A Couple of jobs that I did for some customers with a 911. The first is a glove box lock that the owner acquired and he wanted a key alike to his master key plus some spares made. And the second is a pair of late handles that needed a thorough cleaning, lube, seals replaced, and new keys made.

highly recommended
thanks !

Dan has all of the locks for my Six. He is having the chrome parts re-chromed and then he is rekeying all of them to a brand new key that fits every lock. He has been outstanding to deal with on this project and has kept me informed of everything. Highly recommend his services.

Nice, once I get some other stuff done, I'll take my locks off and send them as well. Probably won't be till summer.

Thanks for the props. Send them to me any time you are ready.

I can't say enough about the service these two provide. My locks were returned looking like shiny jewelry and are now several months into salt air beach-side working conditions and all operate flawlessly. It is worth the nominal cost to know my targa top will be in the trunk when we return from dinner and that the 5th matching alloy is safely secured in the front bay.

That nagging curious lump in my righthand pocket is also gone........ the lock cylinder that used to slide out with removal of the key!! All solved to our satisfaction and great communication along the way from a dedicated resource. You will not be disappointed.

Giving Dan kudos on working on my Frankenstein ignition switch. Like many thing I found on the car what I had wasn't what belonged in the car. Dan did a great job getting it back to a more original switch and it works very well now. Dan and Alicia put together a nice little video showing some of the things wrong with my setup and then how the new setup worked. Thanks again, off to new projects!

Just sent a set of old and newparts to Dan.

Here are the before pictures:

[Cairo94507]

Dan and Alicia just completed the complete restoration of all of the locks on my Six. He also made me a brand new key as my original keep was worn to the point of looking like a rat's tail. All locks keyed to the one master and he made me a couple spares too.

This was a complicated process as they disassembled all of the locks and then sent the chrome work out to be done. I provided the chrome shop information for Dan & Alicia.

The chrome shop, somehow, screwed up and the chrome work had to be re-done on several pieces. Even then Dan & Alicia had to do some work to make all of the parts fit correctly.

They are awaiting the arrival of one ignition switch part and then everything gets shipped, completely assembled, to Scotty.

Thanks to Dan & Alicia for the wonderful care they took with my parts and their expertise.

Some before and after pictures of a member's trunk lock restoration. This member wanted to upgrade an eyesore on an otherwise stunning 914. But his lock had numerous issues, so we made one fully restored trunk lock from two.

[tweet]

These locks are from an eBay customer. He is restoring a 914 and wanted a fully restored matched set of handles and trunk lock. He also needed a new master key cut as he only had a valet key. The parts were in very poor shape; he just bought some random parts for the car. The trunk lock was a basket case, fully oxidized and completely inoperable.

Everything now fully functions and this was the feedback we received from him, "Just received the locks - OUTSTANDING restoration and attention to detail. I am beyond impressed!"

I can testify to the outstanding service and quality of Tweets work. One of those examples is mine and I cannot wait to get it on the car this weekend. If you are going to Hersey you can check it out there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
