Will these lock cores fit my 1987 Vanagon without any modifications?

Yes! This kit is designed specifically for all 1984-1991 Vanagon models, including your 1987. Just make sure to have aftermarket front door handles if you’re installing the cores there, as the originals won’t work with these lock cylinders.

What's the difference between the kit with front door handles and the one without?

The main difference is that one kit includes replacement front door handles along with the lock cores, while the other kit includes lock cores only. If your current handles are in good shape, you can save money by choosing the kit without handles.

Will the keys in this kit work with all locks, or will I need separate keys for each door?

All lock cylinders in the kit come with four matching AH profile keys, so you can use the same key for your driver, passenger, and hatch locks. This matching key set makes daily use much more convenient.

Do I need any special tools or skills to install these lock cores and seals?

Installation is straightforward if you're comfortable with basic automotive DIY. The kit includes rubber seals to protect the lock mechanisms, and you'll just swap out the old cores and seals. If you can remove your existing locks, you can handle this – no fancy tools needed.

Why does this kit use AH profile keys instead of the original VW N profile?

Good question! The AH key profile is an aftermarket standard that offers better availability and security. While it’s different from the original VW N profile, these lock cores fit your Vanagon perfectly when used with aftermarket handles, making your locks more reliable and easier to replace in the future.
