Internal Lock options... (1 Viewer)

[Vansflyer]

Hi.
Next on the list of "mods" is to increase the security of the Van, it's a Transit and obviously as safe as a handbag in Barcelona ...
So I reckon the options are:

I don't like the look of these but do like the option to lock them, so if some little scumbag gets in through the window it's harder for him to get out.
Or..


Looks better but not sure if I like it without a key.
I know neither of these are top security items but the idea is to stop any smartarse waking us up in the middle of the night (once he got past the killer labradoodle) and also to stop the doors being opened when we are away from the van. Got an outside security lock on hab door so that is OK when we ain't in.
Any experience of these?
Many thanks
Vans

I find these are very useful in case the thief decides to try the windows for access: https://www.leisureoutlet.com/other...MI19n4s5DO2AIVq7_tCh3nfA36EAQYASABEgLgd_D_BwE

Thanks for the feedback but I am looking more for a lock than an alarm.... which might be next on the list ;-) Whilst the dog is with us she will hear anyone at around 100 yards..

You should be able to buy deadlocks for a cab based MH with key operation on the inside.

If you have an A class this photo gallery shows deadlocks available with an inside key http://www.motorhomelocks.co.uk/motorhome-locks/

I fitted the Milenco ones and somewhere on here I posted a thread about their fitting. They need very careful positioning and drilling. They can be defeated if you don't lock them but are a useful deterrent, which is all these things ever are. They won't stop them breaking in if they want to.

Thanks for the info and the good write up. Looks like we will be going down that route.
Cheers

Just to "box this off"...
I have just fitted the locks onto the van. A bit of a PITA due to the Transit door frame (2007) not having a lot of space so tight on the screws at the bottom. First one was hard, second one was easy on. I may add something technical like a piece of wood to fill the gap so no space at all for the door to open, belt and braces and all that.
Chuffed, many thanks for the help.

I secure the cab doors on my Fiat Ducato by running the seat belts through the arm rests and into the seat belt clasp.
