After watching the install and having a think about it. I like it. One door must have a mechanical deadlock in case of battery going flat, lost your key fob etc etc single point of failure. Maybe a key switch inside the nearsidecab door and that door with mechanical deadlock. Seriously thinking about fitting this to my van. Thanks.
For me you can’t beat the standard mechanical deadlocks, side door on yours turned out ok but that rear door would take 20 seconds to pry open the gap is far to big fella The power point is a good point tbh if you lose power & have them all round well you see where this is going However each to there own & thanks for taking the time to post mate much appreciated
Brilliant Video...Thank You! 1. Thunderbolt offers a "Raised Strike Bracket" that allows for installation of the lock case in the passenger side rear door making connecting the wires much easier. 2. They offer a keyed manual release in case the battery ever fails and there are a few other ways listed in the FAQs to solve that challenge. Cheers! 🚐
Is there a link to the site where to build this and a little better explanation off the wires cause didn’t really got that part for the rest amazing video love!
The hole in the rivet gun needs to be the exact size for the tail, or the river head as too long. The scissor jack type are the better one, just a little more cumbersome.
It would be incredibly bad luck to lose all power as there is solar so my batteries would have to die, and the solar fuses trip but I don't have the locks on the driver and passenger door yet so I can get into through the front, if I add them to the front I would probably run those off the starter battery so they are powered by a different battery. If I lose the fob I have some spare keys.
Criminals peal the door open from the top so it is completely pointless! If they want to get in they will no problem.. You will just have more damage to put Wright if they don't actually drive it away and steal the whole van
I work in a School cafeteria in Chicago and kids are mean an make fun of my Deformed face, WELL I get bak at them by Scratzing there Food withvmy dirty Fingernales.
Finally a proper video on locks for vans. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for posting this how to. It is extremely helpful.
Great idea to create a square hole. It worked for me.
Love the squaring off of the holes with the file, much better look than the round hole. About to get a set for my ford transit. Very nice install vid

yeah a good way to look at it! As I have the bulkhead doorway and no thunderbolts up front that is my back up way in

Nice detailed video 💚

thanks so much for this i will check out the scissor jack type
Cool. How do you get in you lose power or lose the key thob ?

What happens if they fail locked?
Couldnt a thief just break a window and hit the unlock button to get in?

True preventative measures probably end up causing more damage.

Isn't all the foam risky upon fire 🔥🔥?? Why not use Kayflex ??
