My passenger side door handle is missing the keyhole. a) Can I just have a copy made from the driver's side keyhole to fit my key and/or b) where can I find a really good cond. Type III door handle? Anybody? thanks!

Don't think you can get a lock made for your passenger handle that will fit the key you already have--at least not at a price you'd like. You can get a new used right door handle, and have a locksmith make a key for it, but then you have to carry an extra key. There was a classified ad recently here offering a complete set of T3 locks (ignition, door, hatch) and they were the later type that used a single key. May still be available That's the best way to go.

What year?

You can take your key to a locksmith and have any door lock re-keyed to match...just ask around.
And I more than likely have a handle and lock if you need them.

If you send all your keys and locks to Gabriels VW Keys in California, they can match all of them to work on one key. They advertise in the samba classifieds.

Gabe is the man, he knows his stuff.

Just so you know, Gabe just moved to Plano, Tx but his email is the same. I think he has changed his number though.
