The locks in post #59 are my locks! Dan did not solicit me for a plug but I am going to give him one anyways. This guy's attention to detail is ridiculous in a good way. When my locks were done, I even got a 5 minute long video explaining to me what had been done, what to look out for in the future, and other tips.

The locks are visually stunning. Way better than a repro, which I could have bought. The service itself is not cheap, but with 914 values climbing, and me doing a full resto, I wanted quality, not a cheap price.

If you need locks, this is your guy. Totally satisfied.

Hey Tweet - (Dan) those look really familiar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Guys, Dan and his wife Alicia are just great people. They seriously put their heart and sole into their work and take a lot of pride in what they do. You can tell by looking at my locks that they are perfectionists (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . I was fortunate to find them and to have them handle my lock restoration. Thanks again and best wishes.

Hi Mike,
Your car makes "my handle" look great. Actually it's not my handle, just my work ya'll are seeing. Mike's car is awesome even without the handle. Mike sent in two handles and I used the best parts to make him one fully functioning one. Here are some before and after. This was a smaller job, but necessary. After all, you do need to get in the car to drive this beauty.

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!

Thank you Mike for the feedback, we are always willing to help out. Just realized we never posted a picture of your job and the transplant we did to save the patient. You named this project appropriately. This ignition was certainly a Frankenstein's monster.

Don't wait too long, they are known to snap. At least get a duplicate made to have a spare.

Yes, we can duplicate your keys or originate new ones from NOS Porsche OEM keys we have. We are now also offering newly originated keys from key codes as well.

Okay, so this full restoration took a little longer than expected. Geez, the crazy chrome shop merry go round is excruciatingly frustrating. Anyway, we got it all done. This lock set was a challenge, but Dan and I like the challenge and the feeling of knowing that we can save irreplaceable oem parts from going to the scrap yard. We were also able to use the customer's bowed key to make two new duplicates. Believe me this is more difficult than it sounds. Not just because a bowed key throws off all of the cuts, but also because we strove to make the original bowed worn key and the new ones work all of the locks. Success!

Here some before and after pics.

Hello Forrest,
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones. Thank you for the praise. It was a pleasure to contribute to your restoration. I love this picture. Although I can't see your awesome car, it's one of the best 914 pictures I've ever seen. You in your 914 actually driving it, putting it all out there on the open road, for the younger folk to see. You know, the ones that have never even heard of a 914, like our kids until we told them about our private obsessions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Wishing you many more happy miles,
Alicia & Dan

Can you match a blank key to an existing tumbler ?

My VW Vanagon glove box is missing its original key. I have a blank, but it needs to be matched and cut to the lock.

Haven't been able to find any one to do it locally.

Yes, we work on VW, but we don't promote it here because it is against forum rules. This forum is for Porsche only. So, to respect the wishes of the admins
I will pm you a reply.
