Titanlock

 

[Scottish Scrutineer]

No “Sold Secure” or any other rating,. I’ll give it a miss.

 

[Sleeveless]

I had one of these , it's so easy to overcome it's not a worthwhile security device IMO . It's actually quicker to remove with a thin screwdriver than to use the key.

Titanlock

For locking what?

 

[jockaneezer]

The only thing missing from that demo vid was a "finger wag" when he pretended to cut through it !
One to avoid I would think, especially as thieves are known to just cut a section out of the steering wheel if they want the vehicle.

For locking what?

Loops round the steering wheel and locks into the seatbelt buckle.
I have two similar devices, one for the Moho and one for the car, both used in addition to a steering wheel lock. On the Moho I spin the drivers seat round and lock the reveresed seat to the steering wheel, as well as my Milenco steering wheel lock.

The reverse seat lock is the best idea in my opinion, even an angle grinder would struggle to remove it

Personally I view security of my MH, 21 Swift KT 599 Sport, as I would my, motorbike and bicycles and consider upto 10% of there value to be acceptable for anti theft security and make my possession harder to steal than my neighbours.
That said I've got no where near £8,500 but I do have commercail locks that I have not seen on any other Ducato.
High security cab door hook lock
Door shields to prevent harpooning - common Ducato issue
Milenco pedal lock
Disclok Gold Edition
All told £1,000 ish so a little over 1% but they'll steal someone elses before mine, job done.

I have been looking into fitting a disc lock to lock the seat in a "backwards" position as others have on here. When talking to a friend he asked me if it was locked in the backward position with the back of the seat down, how easy would it be for a thief to cut the back part of the seat off.
Off course I had no idea but thought I would ask on here so see if anyone has had dealings with taking the back part of the seat off, and how easy/hard was it.

Not easy, but the disc lock doesn't stop the seat from being slid fully backwards (forward if it's reversed) this makes it possible to drive the vehicle, albeit not comfortably, but enough to get it somewhere quiet to then work on it. The addition of a sold secure chain would be helpful.

We use a clutch claw, you could defeat it by cutting the brake pedal off but that would present its own issues for drivability.
That titanlock you could do with some mid-sized bolt croppers.

 

[pappajohn]

Looked to me like he was trying to cut it with a nail file.
That would struggle with the plastic coating

 

[Lenny HB]

Cheap locks are normally a waste of money especially ones with cables.
Look at the price of decent D locks for bikes £150 to £250, you ain't going to get much for £34

Wouldn't drilling a hole through seat base and fitting a lock like Oxford Patriot be better?
You could then use the Disklok on steering wheel.
Only found the longer pin version when sold with chain.

You already answered but question was "For locking what"? Not What lock

 

[CV20Bobby]

I use an Oxford Patriot motorcycle disc lock with the drivers seat turned to face backwards . ( I have photos but away from home just now which would explain better)

Turn the seat around push seat fully towards the rear of the van . Open storage flap below the seat . Drill a hole as close to the seat frame through the base to allow the chrome plug on the lock to fit through. Push the chrome plug for the lock from underneath the base up through the hole. Put yellow lock part onto the chrome plug and lock into place . Seat now cannot be turned , hence van cannot be driven. You will probably need a washer onto the chrome plug to prevent a gap on the yellow lock part , which makes it harder for any thief to get angle grinder in.
I wind the seat back , back onto the steering wheel to make it a bit harder for the thief to access. Got a pedal clamp lock too .

Following up on my question about the disc lock on the seat base, has anybody fitted one to a 2024 seat in a Carthago?
I can not fathom out how to fit one on the swivel part of the base as it seems different to my previous swivel seat.
Probably brain fade on my part!

I don't have much faith in cable locks. Someone at work managed to lose the key to the one they'd put on their motorbike. Luckily I had a pair of long bolt cutters in my boot which chopped through it easily. He said he wouldn't bother using one again as it was so easy to remove.
