The US SEs have connections in the battery box area that provide access to the connections for an second party alarm systems (with key fobs). I believe there is/was an adapter harness that matched up to the connections, but I is no longer available.
The other cars came with a KEY controlled lock/unlock system that allowed you to unlock one door and by holding it a bit longer, it would unlock the other side as well.
It did other useful things, but my car has been disassembled for a long time and I am too lazy to read the owner's manual and service manual (available as a download from the link at the top of the LEC page or in my signature).
That said, the locks are basic GM (Pontiac) locks with electronic servos that will electronically move the other lock when requested. The Door and Boot keys are the same JMA GM12E for GM B45-H (standard GM key - use the Fiero 1986 for a reference) while the ignition is an Opel key JMA OPD for Opel, Ilco: HF59R, Silca: YM28P or YO59P. Most of the ignition key blanks are obsolete in North America, but the JMA OPD does still show up occasionally.
On a separate note, there is no easy way to unlock the boot if you lock your keys inside or worse, lose your keys. You should get some spares made. The ignition key is not going to be found at your local locksmith as they have not been used on anything in North America except maybe a few Yamaha 4wheelers.
The Key Cut Codes are still available for Lotus. I went to Andy Graham in the UK for mine, but he had the US Customer Services Manager send me the email with the codes.
I have key blanks somewhere around here, but I ordered them just before life got complicated and I put them somewhere safe and don't remember where that is. If I can build up a head of steam, I will go out to the shop and look through the pile of shipments that haven't made it to the sorting table or bin locations. If you want to order some, you can use: http://www.mrlock.com/index.php?route=p ... ct_id=3592 for the ignition key. B45 keys are everywhere.
