Retrofit central locking on hab door (1 Viewer)

[FergalFarty]

Hi all

My 2019 Swift compact does not have central locking on the hab door which is a bit of a PITA. I've searched this forum and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this subject apart from this thread which is a bit sparse on details https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/central-locking.217714/#post-3837123

Has anybody done this? Got any tips?

Cheers

Fergal

I would have thought more trouble than its worth. 99% of the time we only use the hab, for one door never thought it was worth the extra for central locking.

Having fitted many remote locking systems to car doors back in the day for friends, I can say that it is a long winded fiddly job. You will need a door solenoid that will fit your door in a place that it can attach to the moving part of the lock. Then connect wiring to the cab doors system.
First step have the inside of the door off and see what room and attachment space you may have. If you are very lucky there may be factory position already there.
