Driving a 2007-2013 MINI Cooper and looking for a door lock pin replacement? Here's the complete R-Series fitment breakdown by chassis code, body style, and door count.

R-Series Chassis Codes (2007-2013)

  • R55 - Clubman
  • R56 - 3-Door Hatch (Cooper, Cooper S, JCW)
  • R57 - Convertible
  • R58 - Coupe
  • R59 - Roadster
  • R60 - Countryman

If your MINI badge or VIN falls into this range, you're in R-Series territory regardless of trim - Cooper, Cooper S, and JCW all share the same door lock hardware.

Door Count by Body Style

Installation on R-Series Models

The R-Series door lock mechanism uses the same threaded interface across every chassis code in this generation:

  1. Locate the factory plastic pin on the door's interior sill
  2. Twist counterclockwise to remove - no tools needed
  3. Twist the brass replacement on clockwise until snug

No trim removal, no clips to release, no risk to interior panels. Under a minute per door. If your existing pin is stuck, rattling, or already broken off, the same twist-out method applies - see our loose or broken pin fix guide.

Finish Options for R-Series

Both Bronze and Silver Chrome are available across every R-Series configuration. See the bronze vs. chrome guide for which finish pairs best with your interior.

Driving an F-Series Instead?

If your MINI is a 2014-2023 F54-F60, chassis codes and door counts differ - check the F-Series fitment guide instead.
