Dan Miller of Red Barn Restorations has a customer that wants their 71 Westfalia to have one key. They needed a hatch lock and a slider lock. I provided both of those and matched them along with two front door handles that Dan sent along with the ignition key.
I was able to match all locks to the ignition key and provide the customer with two factory fresh cut keys to code.
One key for all locks and ignition! The way it should be!

Where will today’s phone calls take us? When I was in McHenry Maryland yesterday, I got a phone call to go to Renovo Pennsylvania. There was actually a house lockout in there(Altoona) between going from Maryland to Renovo. You never know where you’ll see Baughman Locksmith!
