Adding Extra SECURITY To Our Van's Rear Doors

if you need more added security check this video out • GPS Tracking with Real...
Adding Extra SECURITY To Our Van's Rear Doors is something that we have wanted to do for a while, the rear doors on vans are not the safest and making it harder for people to gain entry into them , and one job everyone should do there are so many different ways you can add security but we chose a relatively cheap and easy solution. by no means will this stop people but it may just make it harder for them or even put some of them off , you see a lot of people on youtube giving this kind of locks hell and saying there easy to pick, but remember you have to have a lock picking kit and be able to pick locks and not many chances can do this or carry lock picking kits with them. so please keep that in mind

Only if you know how to pick them and if you have intentions that are a little bit steeley . Most thieves are chancers and let’s face it if people Wana get in they will .

Hi I think it’s a good idea when I think of my future van I’m definitely putting locks on mine and I think I’ll put them on all the doors Your right it’s only a deterrent but it would make them think twice and move on Great vlog you have shown how easy they are to put on Bill

[@UrbanVanlife]

see you my friend get me , if it just makes them think oh ill leave that then its a win , and oh man there not hard to fit , if idiots like us can do it any on can , thanks for watching mate , the main problem people have is that the lock is crap , but you can upgrade the lock to come thing much better , that comes at a cost cos the real good ones are between £100 and £300 but they cant be picked , so that shuts the naysayers up , thanks for watching bill

[@ant_hart]

I had an idea about the whole security thing a while back and not seen anyone do it yet (maybe a reason for it!lol) On the sliding and rear door I was thinking of fitting/welding a bracket on the inside so I could put a padlock on...basically 2 bits of L bracket with a hole. Sure it means you can’t open them from the outside but in my mind the scumbags will try to force entry, yes they will pop the locks or try to pry the “normal” areas open but even if they get past the oem locks they won’t be able to open more than an inch...and in my mind think stuff this I’ll try another van. Yes, it means the cab is still left vulnerable and that the only way in and out once locked but for piece of mind especially at night I think I’m on to a good idea. The cab will have deadlocks anyway which is another deterrent. Some will say if there’s a fire there’s no quick exit and that’s true so leaving the key in is an option?? I know if someone wants something they’ll get it, the main worry for me is someone breaking in while I’m in the van/asleep. Turning in to a bit of an essay this!lol Good vid anyway mate, until someone invents a cloaking device I think were all stuffed regardless!😉

[@UrbanVanlife]

I know a lot of people put a bar over the back from the inside . Which really stops the rear from opening . And yer I agree if they want in they will get in I like the cloaking idea

[@catvando3209]

I have a similar one fitted to the back door on my van, the difference is my key goes in from the bottom and not the side. The oxygen thief's have been round my van as well and pinched the wind deflectors that I had fitted to the front doors. They were the £15 ebay specials and you can hear the idiot who pinched them snap one as he's prying it off. They've recently had a go at the sliding side door as well and only managed to jam the deadlock on so I couldn't get the door open. After having to strip everything off the inside of the door while it was closed I managed to get the lock to release manually. Looking for something affordable for the side door now.

[@UrbanVanlife]

I seriously hate people that break in to vans . People spend so much money and time and then some one thinks it’s ok to break in . It really annoys me but sadly it’s happening more and more .

Dude you missed the weakest point on a crafter sprinter, which is the front quadrant windows in the cab, a simple Stanley knife will cut the rubber allowing you to pop the window out and disable the alarm on the centre console in seconds, If you take out the bulk head the van is very vulnerable indeed and renders such big beefy locks completely useless.
