Great video. The two of you are just the nicest people, it is always such a joy to watch your videos every week. 😀😊😀

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Thanks so much! 😊

Nice to see you two great video stay safe

[@mange2]

That's the first time I've seen someone do 2 locks on the canal without moving anywhere LOL.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Very clever 🤣😂

[@livingthelife6284]

The magnet used to get the lock out of the canal was brilliant. Simple solution to a problem.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

£25 well spent

[@MrOVERANOUT]

Interesting vlog. I think the removable hasp is for when you are on board. When on board, always remove the hasp, otherwise some numpty could put the hasp onto the staple and push a metal bar or wooden bar through the staple effectively locking you in the boat.

[@philhonour450]

Hi Great blog, I shall be taking your advice. I’ve fitted Swan CCTV inside my boat and it has a months recording on it which the recorder is in a secure place and connected to the internet and linked to my phone. I will be fitting external cameras also but have a good alert system, my Dogue de Bordeaux French Masfiff who doesn’t like people snooping around the boat. He loves being on duty 😂😂😂😂 Keep them coming 👍 Phil

My dad used to say that "Locks Only Keep Out Honest People". It took me years to understand what he meant, if someone is determined to get in, they probably will, but it certainly keeps out the opportunist.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

exactly what I said 👍

Now guys that’s what you call lock down lol it helps to stop thee thieving sods ,so glad you fished it out of the cannel. Well done the staple in the small part looks like a staple ,good job well done,take care keep safe ,john

I watched the video completely, and even though I do not own a narrowboat your fellow boaters will find it very helpful. I would put money on the fact that the crooks were watching the boat(s) that had the least amount of people traffic. stay safe Ralph

Luckily we only ever leave the boat for a couple of hours

[@royboydanny1415]

Hi guys, a bar lock for your side hatch. It consists of a length of steel bar, two end brackets, a pin going through the door and a lock inside. The bow door lock brilliant , but you need two pieces of steel plate too remove the gap in the back of the lock plate . Beware of the BIG DOG ( sign ) great video 👍

[@robtheplod]

Another excellent vlog. A big plus for narrowboats with just portholes as 'bus' windows are easy entry points.....

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Portholes was one of the must have when we looked for a boat

[@grahamlewis6062]

When we were broken into a few years ago, yes they went in through the window , obviously not porthole. But like the lock. Thanks

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Cheers Graham

[@christopherdooley9324]

Generally intruders get in through an opening which they can quickly get out of with whatever they have stolen, so a window would always be a second choice unless obviously a weak point.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Christopher Dooley portholes luckily 👍

[@kiethee]

Good job well done hopefully now will make the boat more secure for you both and gives you peace of mind if for any reason you have to leave the boat to go shopping

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Most opportunist thieves will go for the easy break-in, so hofully they will move on to the next boat when they come across our locks (not that Im wishing a break-in on our neighbours boat 😂)

Great watching a proper tradesman at work . If I ever see someone drilling without making a pilot hole first , they're out the door ... Lovely job 👍

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Old habits die hard

[@GalaxyRangerNiko]

Gods, yes! I hired a contractor last year to install a door on a friend's place I was prepping to sell and he didn't do that! EVERY HOLE he drilled, he cracked the door frame! Then, he bailed on me and never returned my phone calls! I ended up paying for another contractor to come in and fix his work! :(

[@davidtebbitt5537]

Great vlog..quick tip for you. When drilling steel, place a magnet below the hole to catch the swarf. Also if drilling through steel, remember to paint the exposed steel in the hole to minimise rust. 😁. Have a good un guys.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

Great tip!

If I do manage to get a boat one of the compartments will be a dedicated workshop. With my drill press and a few lengths of steel stock. I was just thinking portholes, good choice. A police security officer told me years ago to look at the back of my house and look for ways to break in. Good advice

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Thanks again for another great vlog, I'm glad that you're both fit and well (and the doggies) and that your boat is a lot more secure. I have heard that several boats owned by people that aren't live aboards have had their boats broken into and trashed or had their mooring ropes undone and even live aboards had their ropes undone during the lock down so the more secure you can make things the better. Take care and all the best. Stevie

One half of it is shaped like a staple U shaped, so the other half must be the hasp. Solid looking job you have done. I think most break ins are on boats left for months at the side of the cut, covered in leaves and cobwebs is always a giveaway. Some of them look like the doors would blow open with a gust of wind!

The "hasp" is the long metal plate and the "staple" is the portion that protrudes through the hasp and receives the padlock. (Think of a "U" shaped paper staple or a staple like you attach barbed wire to a fence post.)

[@mikegriffin4657]

Good video, easy way to secure the back slide is to drill a hole in the runner so that a padlock can be pushed through and locked, the slide can't be pushed forwards without removing the padlock.Impressed with the locks your are using. Caravan security round here is a joke, on secure caravan stores round here, unless the unit is cemented in the ground and surrounded by a 6 ft ditch it goes. Google earth is the TGB's friend. It's been 4 months since I visited my boat, it's Ok, but 2 more months to go.....................
