Extra lock for sliding door

Beitrag von ooznak » 11.03.2019 22:07

hello!

i have installed Heo Safe locks in the front doors:

And I would like to add some extra security to the sliding door too.

what do you recommend? If possible I would prefer not to make holes on the James Cook exterior. Do you know any alternative?

I have seen that there are several exterior options as HeoSafe Van Security:

or Thule Van Lock:

thankyou in advance!

1. Link above would not work for me.

2. For the newer Sprinter, a company makes Slick Locks which uses existing screwholes.

https://www.sprinterpartsdepot.com/prod ... y-deadbolt

https://www.slicklocks.com/buy-now.html?brand=54

Might be able to modify or custom make the piece which bolts to the door frame.

3. Considerations

A. Use locks for security while away from the van. Then the Heo Safe front door locks and an external padlock type lock on sliding door works fine. Sliding door would be main entry and exit point to u lock and lock up the van.

B. In-Use Locks

The external padlock would not be in-use (safety). Would want a lock which canNOT lock you in by some prankster.

On this forum, there were at least two additional interior locks.

One was a sliding barrel bolt screwed to the rear interior of the sliding door and the door frame. When bolted, this lock prevents the sliding door from opening because the rear of the sliding door cannot open out.

A second alternative was somebody here put a chain and padlock, using the bottom bolt of the seatbelt on the B pillar and the big rubber bumper stop on the sliding door (bumper stop stops the sliding door from opening beyond door frame).

This second alternative could also be used as an external type lock by allowing a chain to be long enough for you to squeeze a hand in to lock and unlock a padlock.


Please post whatever you find or do. Thanks.

That's what I did - put a steel-chain and a disk-lock between this and the second eye at the fixingscrew of the passenger seatbelt at the bottom. You can lock it from outside (locking through a small gap of the sliding door) or from inside (parking in unsafe places...) - and you don't need to drill any hole in the car. Simple an cheap...

I love the concept but I am pretty sure they won't fit at the JC slider door when checking amazon reviews and pictures. They hardly fit on a door with the plain transporter wood covering inside, and even there users complain about scratched doors (inside).

But I am trying to buy these for my rear door (in Europe almost impossible so far). Then my "security concept" is heosafe locks at the front doors, locking the slider door from inside (by connecting the grab handles on the door and on the B-Pillar), then leaving the car through the rear doors and locking them from outside with the Slick Lock.

BTW: I don't like the Thule Vanlock as anybody can lock it without a key from outside when you are in the car.

Kurze Zusammenfassung des Videos: Für fast jedes Schloss, aus dem Campingbedarf, gibt es einen Generalschlüssel zu kaufen. Damit lässt sich dann jedes Schloss, ohne Spuren zu hinterlassen, öffnen. Hehosafe wird im Video auch erwähnt (25:30).

Bei Slicklock sehe ich die Gefahr, dass ein Fremder von außen den Wagen versperrt (zum Beispiel mit einer Schraube und Mutter) und die Insassen gefangen sind. Beide Ösen (an der Karosserie und der Tür) sind erreichbar, wenn das Schloss nicht eingesetzt ist.

Eine gute Sicherheit gegen Einbruch gibt es bei keinem James Cook. Das ist ein Wohnmobil, kein Safe.
