So glad you guys did this video, the way it was installed was shown perfectly and has given us the confidence to fit one ourselves.
Glad it was useful ☺️
That's really good, it is in my Amazon MH wishlist for when we get our, new to us, s/h MH.
Nice one, but I would have added a little bit of sealant around the gasket, just to be safe.
Simple and effective solution. Great video guys . I’m sure with the increase in van sales many people will be needing more security on their moho’s
Great Video, a job well done and security for your peace of mind. Look forward to the window lock security video xx
Yes put one on about 2 months ago, very close to door, so make sure you have the room on door frame to fit, ours catches slightly when opening/closing door.
And nerve racking doing it!
Great video, thanks guys, I was only thinking about this the other day,, love these little informative tips,, keep 'em coming ;)
Just what i was looking for! Thanks 🐈!
Excellent video. Well presented and explained. We have an additional lock on already but for e tea security will be adding one of these. Happy to purchase through the affiliate link. Cheers Dave
We've got similar Milenco locks on our garage doors. Heolocks on cab doors and a Heolock on the habitation door which even replaced the inner skin.
Thanks for that, perfect timing, just about to do likewise.. Regards.
Thanks for this video
Great video I ordered one but needs both bolts been long..fantastic bit off kit...thank you 😊
kat sorry there is a video on u tube these locks are got into in under 50 seconds
There are such things as microwave/proximity sensor alarms that beep if someone goes near the vehicle these are not PIR movement sensors. There are self contained cameras on the market you can conceal outdoors overlooking your van that record or take pictures when movement is detected. Best deterrent is an extremely loud alarm.
Brill video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got to laugh.. Kat reminds me so much of my wife , and obviously means well. But I am afraid i would have had to tell her to go away and leave me to get on with it. :-) good video though.
Looks good. However, Mr WB's comment at the end was the most relevant. What about the windows? They usually are secured with silly little plastic catches. I eagerly await his solution!
Love following you guys. What’s the longest trip you’ve done?
Usefull video.
Have you done anything to the vehicle doors?
Hi guys,
Kool idea but drilling into your motorhome does it effect your warranty or did you check first?.
Reading up on habitation warranty says drilling into your motorhome can effect it, possibility of damp.
Love your vids by the way

Very easy to break this type of lock
About to fit and lock comes with two gaskets for either horizontal or vertical mounting?
Hi kat. I have this lock but we need a separate spacing plate. Can you tell me where i can get one and if they sell them ?
Hi I really want one of these locks but have a full length cabinet right up to door frame on lock side will it work on hinge side of hab door? Many thanks Darren
pretty easy
We don’t do complicated very often 😂😂
Hi,did you not put locks on the passenger and drivers door ? Cheers john
im having issues with security with my motorhome so the video is very helpful - yet my van is 30 years old. anyone have a 1990 fiat windows are the way in
I would like one of these, but I would have to mount vertically. Even then, I'm still not sure if I would have enough space on the inside to fit it as the gap between a cupboard and the door frame is only about 5cms.
You can get a version that fits onto the door frame if you can't or have reservations about drilling holes through the van . Two screws through the inside edge of the frame and job done
What is the maximum thickness of the motorhome wall / structure / door frame to enable this to fit? At 2:07 it looks like it caters for about a 2.5cm thickness max (at a guess)???? Sorry to be a pain :) Any idea? Thanks
That should make the door secure 👍 ..a screwdriver would open the plastic window though wouldn’t it ?
Nice one guys but would be thieves would go for the windows just shank them open .kev
Yeah- we're working on that one.... somehow!

Missed you guys thought you left and started touring the moon, hey COVID19 showing us flames this side of the world
Uhhh.... we've been putting out videos every week. But thanks for missing us! :)
That is an awesome lock, too bad I have zero room for it. :(
Oh no! Will it not fit at all??
Thanks for this. Wouldn't an experienced thief not just break in through the cab doors?
Does this mean you can be locked inside while you are sleeping if a crafty beggar decided to play a hilarious prank?
Give over, those pot metal things are a waste of hard earned cash, stainless brace bar full width and a padlock is all that's needed
