Fiamma Security Door Handle Problem (1 Viewer)

[Cartela]

Rimor Koala 48 - Bought the 31 handle thinking I may have a problem, but not being able to find the measurement for the inside fixing bracket anywhere. Lo and behold it doesn’t fit. I’d really like something like this fitting, am I going to struggle with that space being so small? Anyone fitted anything with similar situation?

I had to use one with a smaller space required inside.

 

[Cartela]

Those type good? Got them on the garage doors, may have to rethink

The Thule G2 looks like a good option. Thank you guys, you’ve helped a lot

I have the older Milenco inside/outside lock, but have it above head height as it doesn’t fit lower down. That also makes it a bit more difficult to destroy as it is more obvious to onlookers! Madam likes it locked at night!

My theory is that a lock will only keep out an honest thief! Leave no valuables and let them have a rummage and leave an old wallet on the side with a tenner in it. Result in their eyes and little damage done

You really don't want to fit one of those, a friend had one, van got broken into £3000 damage, they pulled the fixings through the body & stole 2 CD's.

Exactly my point Lenny

I also made the mistake of buying a Milenco frame fixing lock for the hab door such as the one shown below.
Luckily I didnt get arround to fitting it, as whilst on a Fun rally, a really helpful funster pointed out its weakest link....as it locks from the outside only, it just sign posts to all that there is no one inside the van! Doh! was my 1st reaction!
Reminds me I really must sell it one day, boxed up, unused.

The only things they are good for are the confidence (false) of the owner that they are safe, and a flag to any would be thief that the van is probably unoccupied if during the day. They take seconds to overcome and cause massive damage. Then you have to think that plastic windows are even easier to open in seconds. Both security flaws would ruin your holiday by causing serious damage to the van

You can see my Milenco lock at the top of the door; you would need a crowbar to pull it out. Would it be worth it?

No problem for a theith.

A simple claw hammer or pry bar.I was totally put off the Milenco and Fiamma type locks when I saw the damage done to the whole side panel of the motorhome.

But as people are always saying, it makes them want to try another one first?

 

[Sue and Rick]

It amazes me as why they would go through the door when the plastic windows pull off very easily.

New dentures?

Try turning the plates through 90 degrees to fit the frame?
