I think in the early days Mike, there was a door key and an ignition key....
Memory not too good....

but someone did say You can change the tumblers so the same key does them all...

I haven't tried that trick as yet...

Thanks Lee, I haven't got either so I thought if I could find a set as such that would be great Cheers Mike

Would probably help you get a reply if you said what you want it for...

I know my 65 beetle is keyed alike for doors, engine lid and ignition if that helps.

Sorry, i am chasing a door lock barrel and an ignition unit complete from a late 50 to early 60's with keys, which have come from the same vehicle ie keyed alike. I am building a car and dont have the said items, even take a set of door handles(which include the barrel) as mine are a little ratty. I am sure there are plenty out ther some where? Thanks
