the ignition and locks are different.

Thank god I have the ignition.

I don't have the cut number, is the only way to get a key for the locks is to go to a locksmith?

TIA

Make a copy of the ignition key and send it along with your door handles to GabVWKey and have the handles matched to your ignition key.

Pull your lock and then the cylinder. The cut numbers should be on the cylinder, but any good locksmith should be able to cut a key for it, though it will not be an original VW key. Gabriel will cut an original key for you.

yeah but if he takes out the waifs to match his ignition,. that would be cooler.

I always liked the idea of having my door key different from the ignition.
When I was younger and surfing in CA, I would hide my ignition key under a fender or bumper, and if it was found at least my car would not be stolen easily.............I had this happen once, and they only took my clothes....idiots
but I was able to drive home. Food for thought! :wink:
