Quality aftermarket replacement sliding door handle with keys* for early Vanagons with the long handle.

*Includes keys. However, this handle uses a Volkswagen 'AH' style key NOT the original 'N' style Vanagon key stock.

Size: Length from middle of keyhole to end: 7.25". If you have an '85 Vanagon, measure to make sure you are getting the correct handle.

Fits: 1980-84 and some 1985s (make sure to measure).

Very Good replacement for my original that suffered damage from someone attempting to break in. I removed the original lock core and installed it in the replacement handle so I have a single key for doors and ignition.

Exact fit

It was an exact fit the only issue I had was swapping the core. The set screw snapped luckily I was able to reuse the old set screw.

Always has the part I need for my Westy

It's so nice to know they will have the right part at a fair price. Living close by I take advantage of the pick up option which saves me money and time. Happy they have that option.

After 30 years my handle lock gave up the ghost. Good replacement

I needed a new door handle with a working lock after the original died. This was an easy install. I didn't have it rekeyed to match my ignition so now I have two keys to the van, but hey. This one has worked well. I've got at least a decade of use out of it so far and it's holding up well.

These are quality units and the satin look looks amazing on a fresh paint job.

One note of caution: if you have an '85 Vanagon, measure the handle length from the center to the tip of the handle. It was a change over year and the long handle will not work on a short handled door. There is a note on the description page but I wasn't looking for it...

These are quality units and the satin look looks amazing on a fresh paint job. Smooth action and a great hand feel. Handle can be re-keyed by a locksmith, it's so nice to have one key for everything.
