How to Remove the Door Lock on a 2003 Mini, Cooper

How to remove the door lock on a 2003 Mini, Cooper, when there is no existing key. Thank God for another opportunity to share with "The Good Guys." In this video: music created and played by William H. McIntosh, a 2003 Mini Cooper, Tools, Equipment, various camera angled shots of inside door skin, various components inside door, lock removal process, lock decode, key identification, key cutting, and more. I hope this helps. Enjoy. Your positive comments are appreciated.

Good job my friend great video thank you

A video on that, is a good ideal. In your situation, I'd perhaps cut a 'New' key (by code). Wafers/Tumblers in Honda lock cylinders will not accept a deformed tip or key blade that does not conform to the internal shape of the wafers. As soon as I get my hands on a high security ignition lock cylinder for Honda, I'll do an exclusive video.
Thanks again for viewing, and suggesting a great project. I'll try my best.
Regards,
Will
