This is a pair of Locking Door Handles with matching keys for 1964-1966 Standard Beetle. They install like your original Door Handles. They do not include the screws for mounting, so you must re-use your original. Don't forget to purchase new Door Handle Seals.
Before installing, insert the key and turn the lock back and forth from the lock and unlock position until it turns smoothly.
The keys match and work in either door handle.

The outward appearance of the 1960-1964 door handles and 1964-1966 door handles look identical, but are internally different. It is possible that someone could have changed the doors on the car, so it is important to check your doors. Here are the differences in the handles.
