Front door security (1 Viewer)

[Bart]

Our new MH is a 2017 Peugeot Boxer without me giving away to much our last MH was on a 2007 Ducato base and I was aware of a security issue around the outside at the drivers door lock / handle.
My question is does my Peugeot boxer still suffer from the same secirity issues or have these been rectified.

When I fitted 'Proplates' to our 2018 Fiat PVC I discovered that there was additional strengthening there, however, there was nothing to indicate that externally so I fitted them anyway as a visual deterrent.

Yes, the body and mechanicals apart from the drivetrain are all identical and assembled in the same factory. And Proplates are a good deterrent and preventative measure for the vulnerability

Thanks I thought they were all the same, but not 100% sure , so it's pretty sad if they have not eliminated the issue and a product like Proplates are still needed.

They have modified the locks and made them more secure BUT there is nothing to identify which locks have been modified. That's why I fitted Proplates. You don't actually need Proplates for security - just to 'warn off' potential attackers!

The bracket in the middle picture is the Fiat extra security.

Ahh so it is visible on the outside of the mh when you install Proplates??
