I take it you have the ignition key? If so you can make your door locks fit that key, thus not needing new keys.

Thanks

well the ignition key is like my old 911 large style so i assume it has a 991 igniton switch.
However it has 1965 door handles and they look like a smaller key it as i assume pic below?? big key wont fit :(

I broke the only key I had for my 67 912 locking the doors as it went on the recovery truck when collecting from the docks :oops: :roll:

got home removed the ignition barrel, took the two halves of the key and the barrel to a locksmith local to me in Muswell Hill and he had me two fantastic keys + a master for me to get spares cut from (looked like it was made from a front door key) all by the next day for £20, they work on the doors too :)

Good luck :)

you can get it done at opc off ignition key , or any locksmith can play with the tumblers if you take the locks to them .
