Lol dude no, just grab the door by the upper lip and bend the corner open.. well not bend, just pry against the rubber seals, you wil see how easy it is, and then a piece of wire to catch the knob...part of why I use a car radio with a fubar face... so it doesn't draw attention, these cars were designed to be stolen by the looks of it.
We once had to open a nissan sentra with Ucof's tool... wasn't one of my favourite weekends.

It's not a good idea to publicise how to open a Uno door without a key on an open and public forum. There's nothing to stop the information falling into the hands of thieves and then to find that Unos are stolen/ entered as a result.
The best 'key loss emergency' solution is to have a spare key cut, which will be cheaper than any professional 'picking tool' anyway. As has already been mentioned, Unos aren't very theft proof as it it is without publicising how to get into them without a key.
Go get a spare key cut and your problem is solved

Got a neighbour who lost his ONLY key to his MX5 week before last
Another mates Mazda key would open the drivers door
BUT would not do the ignition
Called out a LockSmith
He said that typically car locks have 8 to 10 fingers/slots
Typically only 2 are used within the door locks
AND the drivers side door lock will wear out pretty quick
So its far less choosey about what key it opens with
Though all 8/10 fingers/slots would be used in the ignition lock
Hence why another mazda key opened my neighbours MX5 but wouldn't start it
to be fair you could have got in through the softtop in any case
LockSmith removed the passenger door lock
Took it back to his Workshop
Took the lock appart and cut a new couple of keys from the lock fingers/slots ref numbers
Simple

just like the Ford Cortina days
Melinda, you don't have much luck with keys, do you?
YeaH
back in the early 80's my Dad had a MK3 Cortina and a Transit Van
It didn't matter which set of keys you picked up off the shelf
As either set would and open and start either vehicle..
Even had a mate just up the road that had a Morris Marina
he didn't even use keys......used to have a small screwdriver
that operated both his doors and the ignition...
latest FaD on RaT-LooK is to stitch your key in to a screw driver handle
So with it in the iginiton it looks like you stole the motor....

That's not a bad idea!
(key in the screwdriver handle)
Might go get a third key cut!
