I need the wafers and springs to rekey some locks. Besides Tweet/Dan, does anyone know where to get the parts? Specifically the wafers and springs. Some people call the wafers pins. I have not been able to find a source and I'd like new parts, not used from cores. Thanks

tweet post Apr 12 2013, 10:55 AM Post #1 Member ** Group: Members Posts: 200 Joined: 25-February 13 From: South Florida Member No.: 15,579 Region Association: South East States These are brand new brass tumblers and copper springs for 914 and 911. Finally have one set of keys to open all of your locks. This is way cheaper than having a Porsche dealer cut you a key. (I called a Porsche dealer; they said $83.00 to duplicate one master key and $200 to order one by VIN.) You will receive the following in each set ordered: #1 Tumblers - four each #2 Tumblers - four each #3 Tumblers - four each #4 Tumblers - four each 10 new springs #5 Tumbler not included; reuse your own, it is found in your secondary locks (glove box, front trunk, rear trunk) for use with a master key. Also included (not in picture, but is included in first set only; you only need one) : 1 new pair of tweezers 1 plastic container (so you can find your tumblers the next time you need to re-key a lock) Each set is $37.95 shipped to your door. (CONUS) This is a discounted price for forum members from my Ebay shipped price of $44.95 - 15% off. Paypal to TYPE4PLUS@gmail.com money order check If you need individual Tumblers ($3.50 each shipped) Springs (5 for 3.50 shipped). These are from a reputable source, from an American supplier. Remember you can still reuse your old tumbler pins that don't need to be changed or keep them as spares. You should have left overs for future locks.

I don't want to talk bad about Dan since he's treated me well but lately there have been a fair amount of people with issues. I don't think he's been available or responding to inquiries so I'm hoping to find a different source for parts. I'm sure he got them from a supplier, I just can't seem to track one down.

Thanks @mepstein I bought from this guy "rocketdan" on Ebay, but he is out of stock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-914-911-91...Y-/262744210027 I would message him through EBay to see if he is getting more in stock. |

I got my parts for my 1971 911 from a guy in Australia. Keys4Classics.com. Was very good. Stay away from Dan/tweets. I never got my original door handles and locks back.....

Do you know which wafers you need? I think they’re labeled 1-4 (but I’m pretty sure there is actually a ‘0’ too). I’ve got a bunch of springs and wafers in bags. PM me and I’ll get what you need in the mail. Heading to the post office tomorrow to send off my sun visors for the 914Rubber GB.

Thanks. I pretty much figured out how to do it. I just was wondering where to get supplies.
I do have to figure out how to read the keys, or find someone local, so I can get some new ones made with the correct code without just copying the old ones. |

I reached out to him and he confirmed what he states in the description.
“These wafers will not work in Auto locks” It’s cheap enough to buy and try but .... this guy? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Refill-Pack-For-ES...m4383.l4275.c10 Thanks.

Don't go with VW wafers either, they are a different thickness.

I do have to figure out how to read the keys, or find someone local, so I can get some new ones made with the correct code without just copying the old ones. I asked this question on another thread and the answer I got was that the key code will simply be the sequence of wafer numbers. Have to admit that I don't know if the number is stamped on the wafers, but if you can figure out which number wafers you have and what order they are in then you should have the key code. Anybody able to confirm that? |

I’m not sure from which end you start the code but I’ll ask the mobile locksmith that comes to our shop. Attached thumbnail(s) |

If you have extra wafers but do not have the correct numbers, you can file down the wafers to make them work. You can either file the by hand, or install the key and file the excess to make it work in the cylinder.
