Poor old Beanie got broken into a couple of days ago, as a result the drivers door lock is stuffed. I have a complete set of new locks on order (driver's door, boot and ignition) and although I have a fairly basic know-how in regards to the magic art of locksmithery, I was wondering if anyone had an...
