1960-1964 Beetle Locking Door Handles with Keys Pair
This is a pair of Locking Door Handles with matching keys for 1960-1964 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.
Originally, the passenger side was non-locking. This car set includes a locking handle for the passenger side.
