Have you lost your Westfalia towbar key just before a long-planned trip or an important towing job? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of drivers face the same issue: the towbar key disappears right when it's needed most.
Westfalia detachable towbar keys are usually used only a few times per year – often for summer holidays, camping trips, towing, or moving. Because they are used so rarely, they often get forgotten for months. It's easy to lose track of where they were last placed: in the glove compartment, a drawer in the garage, or a coat pocket?
Fortunately, there's a simple solution – without having to replace the entire towbar system.
Step 1: Check the Lock Cylinder for a 5-Digit Code
Take a close look at the front of your Westfalia towbar lock, around the keyhole. Many models have a 5-digit code engraved directly into the metal.
If the code is between 20000 and 50000, it is your personal key code.
This code allows professional key services (like MR-KEY) to create a perfectly matched replacement key – without the original.
Examples of valid codes:
23456
27891
49821
You can enter this code directly into an online order form.

What if You Only See 3 Digits?
Sometimes, you might only find a 3-digit number on the lock body (e.g., 104, 287). Unfortunately, these numbers are not valid key codes. They usually refer to batch numbers or internal components.
In this case, we recommend:
Conducting a thorough search for the original key (glove compartment, toolbox, jacket pockets, etc.)
If the key cannot be found, consider replacing the towbar locking mechanism
Tip: Make a Spare Key While You Still Can
If you still have your original Westfalia towbar key, now is the perfect time to make a copy.
Many Westfalia keys show a code like: 2W01 to 2W50
This code is usually engraved on the metal shaft of the key and matches your towbar lock. With this code, we can quickly and affordably produce a precise duplicate.

Avoid last-minute panic before departure
Reduce costs by preventing lock replacement
