Lock Set

Papa 8 February 2005 21:54:36
 Anyone know where I can find a complete lock set (one key fits all) for a
1988 VW Cabriolet Convertible? I need a lock set that would include the 2
side doors, the trunk lid, and the glove box. I've already tried rearranging
the tumblers so all locks would match, but no joy there. Using a locksmith
is my final, and most expensive, option.

 It's an expensive proposition no matter which way you go. I've seen them go
for about $150 used on Ebay and VWvortex.com

 why not get some used one's and have them keyed to the same key? Cost $15
per lock when I have it done a year ago to mine.

Try taking the barrels and the key you want to the VW dealers and ask them
to make them up for you. I bought 2 new barrels not long ago and they didn't
charge much extra to match them up to the key I had.

It can be done for less than that. I just priced an ignition cylinder
for my 83 Scirocco (same part) for around $C30. Look it up at
www.altrom.com. I have rekeyed several door locks and find it quite
easy, provided you can secure donor cylinders in good condition. Find
them on any model up to about 1992 (the last of the Jetta/Golf II
cars). The door handles are easy to get off, but you'll need a big
screwdriver. Maybe the easiest way is to find a donor car with a key
and remove all the cylinders.

Good luck,

 Thanks everyone.

I found a complete lock set with keys for a 1985-1992 VW Golf. Would this
lock set fit my 1988 VW Rabbit Cabriolet Convertible ?

The Rabbit is an A1 and the Golf is an A2 so they're not based on the same
body. However, I believe the door handles are shared between A1s and A2s so
they should be OK and I suspect the ignition switch also might be shared,
but not sure about the trunk/hatch.

 I have a complete set from a '90 Cabriolet. I'm building a mid-engine LT1
powered car (or hope to anyway) & I plan to replace the steering collum
with a Fiero unit (as well as all the suspension, guages, dash, &
drivetrain). I can do without the door handles & trunk lock as I'll most
likely convert to electric. So I have the complete set: ignition, doors,
trunk, & glovebox (& keys :-)­. I'll taske $50 + shipping for it all.
