Unbelievably Awesome!
I have been searching for over a year now for a lock cylinder to replace the one I broke while trying to disassemble my '59 Microbus' ice-pick door handle before I researched how to properly take it apart.
During the time of this search I have bought 8 (I just counted them) used ice-pick door handles that had the correct key profile; for the sole purpose of disassembling the lock to use the lock cylinder in my original handle.
I also bought one "NOS" lock cylinder that was the correct key profile, only to return it because it too was not correct.
I refused and still refuse to pay $200 or more for advertised NOS handles with lock and key because... while I'm not made of money and my bus is a toy, not a necessity.
Anyway, when I found Custom and Commercial's ad on the Samba I was immediately skeptical. Their ads claimed that they made reproduction, German quality lock cylinders, ice pick door handles, and pretty much anything else you might need for just about any type I, II, or III VW.
I contacted them via an email which was promptly answered. I explained my concern, and the issues I experienced while trying to find a correct lock cylinder. I sent them some high resolution photos showing the micrometer readings on my original cylinder, as well as a correct length lock cylinder that I have but it has the wrong key profile. Jon sent it to his engineers to examine and again promptly got back to me.
They had already remanufactured several of these ice-pick door handle lock cylinders that my bus needed. And yes, they had the correct key profile.
The best part.... (drum roll please)...... The total cost shipped to Southwestern Pennsylvania was less than $52.00 (USD).
They shipped it the next business day that they were open (a Monday) and it arrived to my house today (Friday). Only 5 days from paying for it to playing with it, and four of those days it were spent in the USA with the USPS.
The lock cylinder fit perfectly. I changed my original lock "pins" into the one they shipped so that all of my locks match again. Even my original key fits into their lock cylinder perfectly.
BUY FROM THESE GUYS. YOU WILL BE VERY SATISFIED.
FAST EMAIL REPLYS, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, AMAZING QUALITY, CHEAP PRICES, FAST AND CHEAP SHIPPING.
Thank-you C&C Crew. _________________ Search my other want ads. A wise man once said, "Do unto others, as you would have done unto you". We should all try that.
