DOOR HANDLES & LATCHES

Technical Reliability for Every Model Our inventory features a wide array of hardware tailored to the specific evolution of the air-cooled VW:

• Outer Door Handles (Locking & Non-Locking): We stock handles in the classic "trigger" style for early models and the later "pushbutton" designs. Available in brilliant triple-plated chrome or durable black finishes, these handles are designed to match original factory aesthetics while offering smooth, reliable operation.

• Internal Latch Mechanisms & Strikers: If your door is sagging or difficult to close, the problem often lies in the internal latch or the striker plate. Our heavy-duty replacement latches and strikers ensure a positive "click" and a secure seal, reducing cabin noise and improving safety.

• Finger Plates & Scuff Guards: Protect your fresh paint job with stainless steel or plastic finger plates. These guards sit behind the handle, preventing fingernail scratches and adding a subtle custom accent to your exterior.

• Essential Gaskets & Hardware: A proper installation requires a weather-tight seal. We provide high-quality rubber door handle gaskets that prevent moisture from entering the door cavity, alongside all the necessary pins, springs, and mounting screws to complete your project.

Restoration Detail Meets Modern Security Over time, door locks can become seized and chrome can become oxidized. Replacing your handles and latches is one of the most effective ways to improve both the utility and the value of your Volkswagen. Sourced from manufacturers who specialize in the air-cooled market, these parts offer the authentic fit and finish that enthusiasts expect.
