Security Swing Away Handle... (1 Viewer)

[old-mo]

Does anybody know where I can get a similar to "Fiamme" security locks,,, the type that hinges over the door or straight out to assist getting in and out..

Needs to be able to lock it against the body and not across the door,,

I only have one door in total,,, and knowing my luck some smart asre will close it across the door when we are in..

I know the Fiamme ones are about 50-60. odd£..... Only need it to assist in & out.

Thanks.

support handle

hi.
i had the same problem & purchased a suction pad handle that was on sale at ALDI , it has never been pulled off the van & it cost £3 & blends in quite nicely.

never seen any other make but fiamma Mo.

fiamma has a three way catch but can still be closed over the door.

maybe something like on the RVs would work for you.

just a handle/bar similar to a disabled bath handle but much prettier.

Thanks gents,, just thought (Fiamme) were a bit dear, not to worried about use as security,, Bit apprehensive about the sucker types, can see my lad ending up on the deck and not being able to get up..

Will do as "pappajohn" says and look for a pretty one..

I have a Milenco rail and it can be locked either against the door, straight out for assisting entry or flat back against the van side.
I only paid about £30 for it at our local caravan shop, but they seem to be about £45 normally

Mmmm!!!

a case of 'the chicken or the egg' i think.

Milenco and Fiamma are almost identical.

Is the Fiamma one not designed to be lockable in the 'closed away from door' position?

The Milenco has what I think of as "Proper Keys". The Fiamma one has come in for some critisism for the lock mechanism. Horses for courses I suppose

Yes, But I am not that fussed about the security side of it,,

Robust and not sticking out to far are my main priority`s.

I think with the Fiamme and others the emphasis is on the security side of things and that is why they are so much.

Thanks All.

even the 'none locking' fiamma will 'lock' in any of the three positions.

it has a pull down pin that holds it in position and if swung over the door you still cant get out without pulling the pin down and without damage.

not very stable for the primary purpose of getting in and out though....

A friend made up a nice stainless one for the 5er, that just clipped onto a fixed bracket on the 5th wheel and bolted to the steps with a couple of wing nuts,, It was superb and worked great,, I should have taken it off. oh:

I was going to get him to make another one,, and funnily enough he does make bow and pushpit rails etc for boats..

But the miserable bugger has gone of round Europe early in his motorhome.. :Blush:

Thanks Alan.
