Why a locked Mini isn’t a DIY job
Mini uses BMW locking, so it deadlocks and the inside handles stop working. We open it with proper tools and your key resets everything once you’re in.
Mini lockouts we handle
- Keys locked in the cabin
- Keys locked in the boot
- The car locked itself with the key inside
- A flat key fob that won’t unlock the car
- Popular models: Cooper, Countryman and Clubman
What we don’t do for Mini
We don’t cut or program keys for European cars, and we don’t repair car door locks or ignitions. If your only Mini key is lost, we can still open the car so you can get to your belongings, but a replacement key needs a Mini dealer or a specialist. See which cars we make keys for.
Other European makes we open
- BMW
- Mercedes-Benz
- Audi
- Volkswagen
- Volvo
- Land Rover and Range Rover
- Porsche
- Skoda
- Jaguar

- All European cars
Common questions
My Mini locked itself while I was loading the boot. Why?
Comfort access can lock the car when it thinks the key has left, even when it’s sitting in the boot. We see it on Minis and BMWs constantly.
Will you scratch it?
No. Tools made for the job, no force, no marks.
Do I need to prove it’s my car?
Yes. We’ll ask for your licence and something showing the Mini is yours before we open it.
