Without the key......

I was planning on delocking the front of my car but lack of funds (or the prevelence of summer festivals) is preventing me laying my hands on a couple of remote keys (mine is buggered after the washing machine incident and the mrs apparently drives the car on occasion)

So i thought sod it - i'll just colour code the handles - I've got the handles from a Mk4 polo (front and rear) but before i paint them obviously i want to get the locks out of the front ones - I've disassembled them to just the barrell but the "Remove the lock with the key" part of the procedure is the issue - Any offers before i get the hammer out and give it a bash?
 
Looks like....

drill it - start small and get bigger

eventually the brass tangs will fall in enough to remove it
