Volks,

I'm considering re-keying (or at least refurbishing) all the locks on my 1982 diesel westy.  Here's why:

- Driver's door lock has totally failed: the lock mechanism has fallen apart, with the wafers falling down making it so the key can't even be inserted (manual locking from the inside still works fine),
- Rear hatch lock has always been super-finicky, sometimes taking a minute or more of jiggling to get it to turn,
- sliding door handle had been replaced by DPO, and is on a different key (this offends my sensibilities),
- passenger door lock is sometimes a bit finicky, but is acceptable
- ignition is fine

Question: is there a simple (and relatively inexpensive) way to get all these re-keyed to a common key?  I've never removed locks before.

Thanks!

T.
