Just about any competent locksmith should be able to make one for you.

If you can't find one locally, this fellow Steve in the US is well known in the Westfalia circles here.

Drill the lock out, unscrew the cap and fit a new one. Cost around £10 - £15.00 complete. Locksmith call-out ....... priceless :shock:
Keep it real.

I've used a paperclip bent into a small "L" to open them if that is the poster's only goal.
