 Just so you realize this method is not breaking into a delorean. It 
still Requires the KEY in the door lock. NOT a Hammer through a 
window.  I have seen where just relying on the key is not always 
enough to fully unlock a delorean door. Especially, with all the 
extra linkage and the pivot bell crank with potential slop in the 
linkage system. Sometimes it needs the extra jolt from the soleniods.

Either way. I hope this helps Marc's situation
