1972 Super Glove Box Key

[YellowBeetleSB]

I have a 1972 Super and I'd like to make a spare for the glove box key. The key I have for it now is the circular one with the cut-out VW logo. What key blank do I need to make a spare?

The one I have for the driver's door is the oblong sort of asymmetrical topped one. To copy this key what blank do I use?

I just went to a locksmith and they were able to make a new ignition key for my '71 Super just from the serial number on a worn out original key.

They also copied my glove box key, no problem and cheap.

They can rekey door locks but that's not cheap.

I just had the glove box key made for my 72 SB at a local NJ locksmith, but he had to special order a box of blanks, 10, I think and he may have some leftover. Here's his website, call him, he will know the key type and maybe sell you a blank or mail your key to him and he'll make it.

BTW, it was a special one sided spline key, not the same as the doors or ignition that have a double sided spline plus it has a shorter shank, if those are the right terms? I'm not a locksmith..., but this guy knew what it was and has them. There is a code number for them.
