Looking for some feedback. Thinking of fitting some extra door locks to rear garage and gas locker as I think the original are a bit flimsy. But then you read that more damage will be done if they attempt to jemmy them. Talking about the fiamma swivel and lock type. So what to do I think extra locks will deter the little scrotte looking for a chance few bob. But the more ime having it anyway thieves will just jemmy away no matter what the damage. Thanks in advance, do I don’t i

Fit what gives you peace of mind, if they really want to get in they will open a window.

I reckon you would be better off buying some "this vehicle is alarmed" stickers or something and put them near the locks (actually getting your locker doors wired up to your alarm too)

you can open a motorhome window with a bent nail, so I have read. I have motion sensor alarms on the interior of my wagon

If the extra locks are visible they'll move along to an easier target. They don't want to risk faffing about with a crow bar for 10 minutes, that's the most risky time of being challenged.

Not as much worried about the van itself because it’s alarmed and tracker fitted. Just worried about what’s in the lockers the nickable and run stuff. Defo think the locks are getting fitted for peace of mind. Thanks all

Or the other line of thought being, its got security locks, must be something worth nicking in there. You can't win.

On one of my work vans I had a sticker on the back door saying "No tools in here overnight"
I printed another one for the van vault inside that said "No tools in here either" ?
