Unbolt the lock from the boot, take to a locksmith, they will cut a key for it.

I took my boot lock into a locksmith and for $25- had it fixed. Now one key fits ignition, door and boot and the boot locks.

They're really not the most secure locks ever made. The tongue only just grabs a dangling bit of metal. The whole lot can be wrenched out pretty easily unfortunately...

I found these on minispares UK

http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=35560

I emailed them saying if they would fit on clubmans and they said it will, the lock barrels seem to long but, do use think they will fit on clubman doors?

Cheers

The center barrel will fit the boot lock, but the other two will NOT fit your clubman doors and are totally different. I am fairly sure John at Mini King has all of these lock barrels you are after.

The lock/barrel will/should/might have the key number stamped on it too.
