Door key *should* be the same as the ignition... Mine are not. The door accepts anything but the ignition key. You can open it with a teaspoon, but if you put the ignition key in it wont work.

Boot & glovebox "should" also work on the same key.

As has been said above, same key should work door locks and ignition. The boot & glovebox should be the same key - a Willmot Breeden FS type. None of the cars were supplied with a locking petrol cap but a Unipart accessory cap was often fitted. I've got one of these, it's the only lock on the car which doesn't work!
