I'm betting the woman's back door isn't safe from this man.
True story
@@UrbanVanlife LOL, you said “Pain in the rear.”
Ooh err missus…
The last thing you need is someone entering your back doors without you knowing 😅. Great video. I might just get one of those.
20 seconds in im subcribing whilst pissing mysel laughing. Quality
We aim to please but often miss
looks good, you modify it to by putting one of these on it "Hechen solenoid electromagnet HS-0530B DC12V 5N 10mm stroke push pull type open frame" or some thing similar. at 9.39 your pointing at where you could attach it to, and add a switch on the + wire. that would save climbing over the bed to open it
Thank you. Great idea. I'm going to check if they have any for my 1998 Dodge van. Safe travels.
You guys love watching your channel funny but very useful information plus we get to see Neil showing us how things go on 👍
DIY version ( 2 small L brackets on both doors that meet in the middle when doors closed then place a nut and bolt to secure. Secure L brackets into doors with rivnuts and small bolt or self tapers. Version shown in video well thought out.
Think for the price of it it’s not worth going down the cheep rout
The advantage of this kit is the door can be securely locked from outside.
Got these on my Boxer, even I could fit them. Glad they're now available for other vehicles as I feel my van's safer when they're locked.
Thanks for the info. Just ordered mine for Sprinter.
Great thanks Neil 😊 love this for my crafter😊
Excellent idea. Thank you.
That’s a neat idea, well engineered but simple!
Bought one for my boxer after watching this, great kit,
Thanks for your time ❤
Lovely honest video, yes tell both work hard.
thank you for sharing this! this will be helpful everyone,
Thanks for sharing another great job, definitely bad idea to put a lock on it if you had to get outside in a emergency 👍
Thanks from a Sprinter owner in San Francisco Bay Area. The Governor passed a recent allowing anyone to enter your rear door in California. Being a Republican, I’m ordering one of these right away!
Wow how do they justify that? Bonkers!
So in California you need to watch your back and CYA?
I actually just stumbled upon your channel going to watch some other video!
I scrolled down a bit and saw you both...
And I'm SO GLAD that I did!
This was extremely educational for van riders around the 🗺 !
I live in South Shore Massachusetts USA...
I'm sharing your channel with my fam and friends!
🍻: to binge watching your channel from my 🛋 on a lazy Saturday morning!
✌️
Welcome aboard! You live in a beautiful part of the world hopefully one day we will get the chance to visit and see it for ourselves first hand!
Thank you for the totally clear instructions.
I'm not much of a handyperson so I really appreciate it! :)
Thank you a lot of people are self confessed smart arces and can get a bit wonky about doing videos like this . But there are equally people who don’t know . And we have all been there no one was born a smart arse I just wish more remembered that . Thanks for watching
We have a version of this on our Citroen relay, simple to install and effective.
Looks like a go to piece of kit to have guys. Love your blogs, stay safe.
Great, simple security option. I wish they made a Ford Transit option for me.😥
Cheers for the Solidfy info, just fitted one to my Sprinter it was a doddle 15 min job thanks to your informative post.
Great news man . I think you can fit one quicker than watching this video lol
Looks like a good device. Though, they used something like that on our work vans where I used to work. The thiefs got round it, by cutting the Hinges off the doors and peeling them back.....
Looks a slightly more sophisticated one than I have on our Ducato back door - mine has a little circular pin and clip but same principal. No one wants their back door bursting open do they 😂
Really useful also for a safety point of view I explained to Rachel how to open the door in the event of an emergency (fire or whatever)
Think it’s the same make all be it different design to the one we have - does the same job 🙌
Great solution and vlog as always
All the best, David 👍
Nice video simple hack to be more secure thanks 🙏
Love this, such a simple but effective item, will have to search if they have them for our LT35 … ☯️
In the US if someone wanted to get in they'd be just as likely to go through the front doors, breaking the window if needed. I think an alarm system would be a more effective deterrent.
Nice & solid!
Well done guys! 👍
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant video pal love ur channel ❤
With all the windows in our doors, I figure the thieves would just go through them.
Well impressed 👍
Hi Neil & Emma thanks for making this video, I bought the same lock a few weeks ago, but haven’t put it on yet as I wasn’t sure if I would do it right, but you have given me the confidence to give it a go 😊 nickie
This is a great idea our first van got it's back doors ripped open and things were stolen.
Nice one there Neil, that could be useful in other places too, apart from van.
Went to buy one via your link in the description... and they are all sold out with none available!
I've got a 2018 906 sprinter (very last of the 906 shape before they switched to the new shape)
Great idea
id put put on the floor level- the thief will have no issue using a crow bar... its great idea- i belive there is an electronic version where you can hit a button they automatically unlock but quite expensive
Yer I believe there is a electric one
Cheers for this guys so easy to fit even Darren can stop the backdoors giving entry to unwanted guests 😂
We heard Darren’s all for back door entry
@Urban Vanlife I have so many comebacks for that, however they all put me in the frame too so saying nothing 🤣
Grt got that saved for when I get a van. Canny wait till you do the sleeping cab video ...grt chat / van work . 👋🏻🏴🏴
we are working on it as we speak , so hopefully i can get it edited for this week
Nice. But y'all talk funny. Lol. Thanks brother!
Nar it’s your ears that are broken
Nice . Every bit helps 👍
It dose mate and a lot of people don’t seem to look at it that way . There all so negative
No one can smash them back doors in! Great vid guys 👍 lovin the hair Emma xx
Mentioning smashing back doors and Emma in the same comment 😂😂
@@UrbanVanlife gotta be done 🤣🤣
Brilliant !
Hi, You have these tiny 12v linear actuators, perhaps use one and hook it up to you central door lock system or even have a simple linear solenoid ? They cost next to nothing and can have a linear movement of 30 -40 mm. Anyways can imagine it give a lot more “ease of mind” having this extra lock.
Nothing worse than loose back doors🤣
That's what she said.
Thanks for video you 2
well well well, you dark horse Neil.... fellow Star wars fan eh? That "I am your father " framed sound print proper made me smile. Thats a great bit of kit to stop thieves when you are in you van. They need to make something for tailgates and slidey doors.I'll have to look on your link... BTW, that "I'll stack all the free power stations up so I can reach" was pure Urban Vanlife comedy gold. Much respect- Kenny
Hi both love the vlogs as always.look forward to seeing your van fixed.that lock is brill.wont fit my ford transit tourneo.
Like you guys and great content..many thanks
Thanks for watching!
My type i sprinter has the long rear doors and due to its age started to bow out at the top.
To remedy that (mainly to prevent water ingressing) I installed a second rear door locking latch setup and connected the two latches with a handle on the inside (removing the factory one because it was too low on the door and simply ugly) and a rope through the sidewall running inside a pvc tube to the sliding door. The rope is there to open the rear doors without the need to climb across the rear mounted double bed to get the the doors. The handle is there to be able to open the rear doors (which doubles as emergency doors). The lower latch mechanism could possibly be tampered with using the door handle openings but the top mechanism will stay locked even if you knew how the mechanism worked... A thief would need to be able to bend open the whole door (which is not impossible but very hard and time consuming)
The rest of my doors (being the sliding door and the cab doors) are secured by unconventional but very effective means. Basically deadbolts which can be activated from inside the cab (each door individually) and the deadbolt in the sliding door somewhere (in an undisclosed and very difficult to tamper with) location (virtually impossible to get any sort of tool anywhere near the business end).
If we leave the van we lock the rear doors with a simple sliding deadbolt, as well as the cabin doors from the inside, exit through the slider and lock and secure it knowing any robbers may find themselves dealing with a couple of hard nuts to crack...
Currently I am even contemplating/designing a steel security curtain to separate the cab from the living space made with those older type matras bed supports (you know the wiggly steel wire springy stuff)
If I can get one of those cut to size and shape and secured well enough they should pose a b*tch to get through if at all...
Hi both. And you too mate hope engine go’s problem free 🤞👍
Actually a novice calls that a star drive when in fact it's called a torques bit (hence why the box the set comes in says torques bit on it)
Actually he is right the generic name for them is star bit. The torx name is trade marked by an individual company. Same way everyone refers to locking adjustable pliers as “vice grips”.
@@peacockealot not really I've got snap on torques, and non snap on torques both of which have torques bit stamped on the boxes
@@jonathansmith2407 I’ve got Mac tools sets that say Torx on the box and Draper sets that say TX-star on the box. The Torx name will have the registered trademark beside it because they are licensing it for use. It’s the same way an “allen key” is actually a hex key as the allen key is again a registered trademark.
Not sure where you guys got this version but there’s a new version with a central locking solenoid to activate and deactivate the lock mechanism.
New sub here! Great tips thank you!
Good idea Neil , I suppose if your cleaver you might rig a solenoid up and have it remote , hmmm just saying
Why has this idea been put in my head
You could even put a door lock actuator on them and have them on your remote.
Simple and effective !!
It’s weird you say that cos that how Emma explains me to people
That bolt is a good place to keep the handcuffs.
There only for garage time buddy
to protect front doors if you're in somewhere dodgy, a ratchet strap between the handles will make sure they go nowhere.
Just fitted mine 👍
arnt they simple easy and propper goood
Hope you get it fixed soon.
On my travels the best lock I had was my doberman domino he was the size of a small pony lol
Hair is looking good Em, x
Why thanks 😊 from Emma
I love your videos… Good to know your back side is tight now….
Mate you know I have a good solid back end
@ThecatladyVAN nice add for you. 🌟
Neil and Emma. Yes van lock looks great I've got a caddy highline for work can u get one for that. Think it may be good to stop thief peeling the door up to have one at botton too. Emma's hair looks nice. Good luck with van repair. You have a big task. Looking forward to next video. Are u planning trips to Norfolk here where we are. Take care. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk
Funnier than hinge and bracket!
THEY REMIND ME OF THAT BRITISH SHOW I USE TO WATCH (MRS BUCKET & FAMILY)😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh so they built their own camper vans did they? Don’t remember that…. But each to their own! Whatever tickles your pickle I suppose Hyacinth.
How??? What a ridiculous thing to compare them too,,, BTW have you tried the lock they are recommending ya know the whole reason for the video?
You remind me that not all the clever sperms are the fastest . But there you go buddy you won the race ya special boy
You are such a loving, beautiful couple and I love watching your video. Is there a link for a 2005 Iveco Daily van lock?
Hi thank you for the lovely comment, not too sure if they make one for the Iveco Daily, but the link for the company is in the description of the video might be worth firing them a message to see what vans they make them for, hope this helps.
Great idea, sad they don't make them for Ford Transit Custom.
You can use a regular hex bit if you don't have the right size star
Yer but I can’t show that . There is allways a clan of Karen’s wanting to jump on you for doing things like that . Lol
I like the idea, but wondered if you’ve ever accidentally caught your head on either part of the device?
Next challenge, hook it up to the central locking, can't bee too difficult, all sorts of actuators available these days.
That’s actually the best idea ever that if I’m honest
@@UrbanVanlife Why thankyou, I have them every now and again 😂
2words! Cordless grinder..........Every thief has one.
So that means they have to cut away the skin of the door to get to the lock then cut the lock to get the doors open . Think but then ppl would know what was going on .
They cut always an opening on the side next to the wheel and know when nobody is inside....@@UrbanVanlife
Well Iv never heard that before and never seen it before anywhere
Love you films 😆 where were you doing this, Asda car park? 06:00
Nop
i just used sash jammers on my van back doors
nice hack, now where is my powerful Dewalt DCG405N 18V 😂
simple slide bolt and some rivnuts
Please please please follow up that comment with your version . I’m sure we all would appreciate a good laugh
@@UrbanVanlife whats funny about a slide bolt and rivnuts. you buffoon.
grat blog a gen mate gary from crewe 👍👍👍👍👍
My Nan had a money tree under the stairs 😂
Security of bk door 🚪 is v important.
🤣
I think a thief would beat that if he really wanted to,there's nothing to fix the bottom end off the doors.and would a more powerful magnet unlock it from the outside?
Nice idea ..somthing I have been looking around for rather than the padlock ..
But can u say EMMA ❤ .looking posh and snazzy with the curls lady ...lol.
Neil you got some work to do kid....😂
I would maybe fit an actuator to it to make it remote 😂😂
Have you not seen how van thieves break in. Locks are no good when they cut their way in using a battery operated slitting saw and peel a panel back and in. Good luck with the lock. My neighbour, manager for a property maintenance company has seen it all.
Do they do them for transit mk8?
Hi Neil, I've just fitted mine, exact model as yours, do you find that when in locked position. When you try to open the rear door, the lower catch is released, meaning there's enough space to crowbar the bottom corner of the door open?
There is but surly the noice and faf in about would scare them off . And for the price it’s a great add on for security
You must be careful of backdoor bandits, their out there
I've got a bow aimed at the only door that will open when I'm in bed
Cross or dicky?
The only money tree I know of is your bank they have branches everywhere
Lol
All branches well pruned now
Any solutions for side door?
Ingenious bit of kit.. nice one. How much. In pounds pence. . Do the do one for an ldv. Van ?? A good idea. Vorst
Do they do this for a 2021 model sprinter
❤️🚐🇺🇸❤️ Love this. Thank you so much. I hope it will work for different Van makes & models.
Thanks for watching . And we are back on the road now thank you
@@UrbanVanlife ❤️🚐🇺🇸❤️
I just subscribed too.
Arrr thank you welcome to the mad house
I've got the version they do for the Relay/Boxer/Ducato.
Very simple to fit.
I was going to buy it from the original German manufacturer but found a copy at a third of the price from China.
What's the U bolt for inbetween the two door hooks (6:45) - a hammock mounting point?
Sex swing mate
@@UrbanVanlife hurry up and fix the van then.. looking forward to that video!
Yes Neil, I can confirm our back doors are very secure 😂 so much innuendo in one video 😂
I have no idea what your talking about 😂😂😂
😏😏 yeah yeah
Can't see any for the vw transporter, only crofter
If thieves want into your van they will get in.
Correct but let’s make it a bit harder for them
