I hope you guys love them as much as I do! I also want to note one more thing I have noticed now that I have been using them for a while which is that MY WINDOW COVERS DO NOT FIT SNUG ANYMORE BECAUSE THESE ARE BLOCKING THEM! However, literally last night someone tried to break into my van from the back door while I was sleeping so I would take the wonky fitting window covers over not having extra locks ANY DAY!

I put a hook and eye latch at the base of both doors. I also put one on the sliding door and back door. Cheap, easy, and effective.
I like to listen to your videos while working on my computer. Your attention to detail in explaining the installation process is really helpful! I appreciate how you not only show the steps but also share your thoughts and experiences along the way. It's great to see someone prioritize safety in their van build. Looking forward to your next video!
love that you tested it for a week before reviewing it! cant wait for the next video!
great vid again Tory and dont bother with the upside down deadbolts, i think thats extra security since it goes against expectations on how it turns 👍. also you'd create unnecessary future trouble (like rust or loosening its grip) by unscrewing and re-screwing the bolts. also i would prefer that you find a way to add a deadbolt on the inside of the backdoor of the van. you can deadbolt the two doors together instead of against the frame of the van if you want to lessen creating holes into the van framework.
The main thing is, that you are safe. I was going to mention a hidden place to hide them. But you already said that at the end. Happy that you did. Be safe.
You buy two rubber snakes. Hide them under a towel in the front. Attach one to one door with thin fishing line, and one to the other door with fishing line. Then as they open the door...
Hahaha I love this 😂📈📈📈
Wet pants incoming! LOL
Always good to have extra things for security just for you're piece of mind . As for the other doors , Can you get a hook and latch or something if you do want more security on the other doors without it being on the outside .
I've had this idea where you put some kind of steel U-shaped handle on each front door, and use a ratchet strap to fasten them together. That way the door can't physically be opened on either side even if picked. This could be done pretty easily on the sliding and rear doors also. Would be already setup if your front door handles are a solid handle-style instead of the "pocket" handles you find in some vehicles like sprinter vans.
I hear you (might be cheaper and definitely reliable) but that's going to get annoying to set up every morning and night
Where else can you get lightsaber/sword play in a how to video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love the creativity. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃
Just ordered and used your promo code! Thank you!!!
Brilliant as always 💚 locks are always important
For a quick exit, make sure you place the key in a permanent location where you know where to grab it if you need to exit the van quickly. BTW, a keyed lock like that is against the fire safety building code in homes because you can accidentally lock yourself in during a fire.
I Love what you are doing and Love the Eye brow pencil hack, Must go buy one now !
Check into security film for the glass on the vans front and rear doors. Either clear or tinted.
Be careful tinting your front windows, a lot of states have laws about how dark they can be.
Put 1 on each Keychain. Looks like easy safe solution! Good luck on your build
Great idea stay safe and have a good week 😊👍👍
Interior locks will definitely give you extra time at night while the thieves struggle to get to the interior locks.
My van driver door smaller window was smashed and a thief reached in to stick a tool into the HeoSafe deadbolt key hole to unlock and opened the door to get in. The key hole was destroyed.
Thieves had already used that tool to stick into my driver door and back door factory key holes to unlock the doors.
They could not get inside due to my extra locks inside until they unlock the HeoSafe deadbolt next to the window.
I recently installed the Thunderbolt HIDDEN deadbolt locks with REMOTES since any locks with key holes are easy to destroy with a tool these days.
Do you think it would work better down lower on the door so it couldn't be reached?
@@lesliehunter1823 The HeoSafe deadbolts for inside driver door and passenger door seem to need to be installed only at that reachable spot next to the glass window.
Bad idea now that a thief was able to reach the keyhole to unlock plus I can no longer lock it with a key.
@@lesliehunter1823 if a smaller thief can crawl through the larger part of a door window, they will be able to unlock all doors and all locks.
Best to also block the windows with a strong steel bar so cannot crawl through.
The best thing to have in your van, for self defence is wasp and hornet spray. It is accurate to 30 feet. And jt is NOT a weapon. But if you spray anyone in the face they will stop! Whatever they are doing. Also side and back door can be locked inside with a simple pad lock set. happy vanning.
Wait for my next security install…. it’s this concept but on steroids 🤯 I’m super excited to share a new product I found & am installing I’ve never seen on a van build before!
A clear window tint on the front driver and passenger windows would add more security too. If someone tried breaking the glass it would slow them down enough to start the vehicle and drive away or escape out of another door
While you're outside the van and parked you can attach a fake antenna with a magnet. Make it yourself, easy. If you need a baton weapon, just grab it off the hood. Many modern antennas are short and covered wtih black material, so not hard to make thicker than older style antennas.
I also learned about 3M window film that makes it very, very hard to break for when possible thieves try to break a window to get into the van.
Just switch the locks from one side to the other should be the same bolt pattern put yellow side
Up❤
That wont change the direction the key works. Rotating clockwise would still be rotating clockwise. I am not sure what she is talking about unless the locks actually have different ways they rotate, which they usually dont as locking is a clockwise turn for most locks.
“And that’s what it takes to get the shot”…the lengths you go through, just for us 🤗
Safety tip with drill bit. If you know the depth you want to drill and don't want to accidentally punch the drill further and maybe hit something sensitive behind, then use some masking tape and wrap a few layers around the drill bit just behind the depth you want the drill bit to enter, and makes it easy to keep from push punching through too far.
You’re so talented… your eyes are beautiful…enjoy your weekend ❤️🥰
Love your videos and channel You are awesome. If your ever in central Indiana, I own my house for a stop by. Laundry, personal private shower, etc.
The also have 3m shatterproof windows you can install for even more protection
Window security film is definately a gotta have!
Love bloopers ❤
Thats the Heosafe lock. We have them to but also thule lochts on de slide door and the backdoor on the outside. Also we have the Bearlock on the gearbox.
😂 I wasn't able to get the pink tools but i found regular ones ❤ hahaha.
The locks are great🎉
TORY HAPPY EASTER 🐰 🐣 WEEKEND, Your just ABSOLUTELY gorgeous
Here’s a thought: you can find retractable keychains in dollar stores. Mount one just behind the seatbelt on the driver side and put the key on that. It’s hidden, in a convenient spot, you won’t lose it or drop it.
Have you heard of the owl, protection alarm it record video around the van front and back, if someone trying to get in it will send you alert to you where ever you are. You can call the police and give not only a description of the suspect, I believe you can send a copy of the video, so the police can see them also. If they are walking away from the van but the responding unit will have a short video of the suspect that was committing the crime. I believe it is cheaper that the lock,and if you get into accident you will be able to give the courts copy of the accident video also. Look into if you like.
I recommend Thunderbolt deadbolt locks that will fit all the doors of a van and are also powered together with your OEM door locks.
What happens if the battery dies and it won’t open?
You should buy a cattle prod ,if someone comes in window you can sap them,they have a handle as long as a broom stick.
My concern with these is if it requires a key to unlock, if I ever need to exit due to an emergency, I’m probably gonna be fumbling around with the key. I like the idea of a strong metal latch near the bottom of the door where you just flip up or open.
Hey Tory, Thanks for the link to your video! Thanks for making it entertaining and informative!
Doing everything right this was a good idea do you know who the judges?
Can you install smash proof coating on the window.
Great video 😊
I like the consistency of the videos you ever see the hot sauce show with the famous people you really get to know them if you haven’t seen it, you should watch it another thing that I’ve seen that’s been really huge is the famous people and they get asked 70 questions Might’ve been a little more but something like that you get to know who they are when you put yourself out there on RUclips and TikTok, etc. people get to know who you are and you’ll form followers that are interested in you because you are interested, think about interviewing people they don’t even have to be famous Maybe you ask them 10 questions or 50 questions everyone needs social activity problem is with the world today. People don’t interact like they used to everybody’s on their phone or iPad or android. We don’t really get to know each other. I hope you have the best day or night ever, you have mean to me I see you grow on social media. I’m very impressed. You are such a strong, powerful woman. You are amazing.
Good job ❤
Also, there is a security film that you can put on the windows that makes the glass almost unbreakable!!
great job..be safe out there..
do you know if you can reduce insurance premiums with extra security? thanks for the super tips!
This is nice. But the absolute best security system was the one M installed on James Bond's Lotus in "For Your Eyes Only."
Hi gorgeous love the video ❤❤❤❤
This is off topic but can you just go to random places in the desert to park and do this work or are there specific areas that are ok to park?
It varies :
National PARK ,
National MONUMENT ,
BLM Land , COUNTY Land ,
STATE Parks , STATE Land ;
You could be subject to
THOUSANDS of dollars in FINES
just for driving a short distance
off-TRAIL in some places ( fragile
eco-systems where it could take
*many* _DECADES_ for a small
bush to regrow ) , other places
have dispersed campsites ( often
identified by an existing fire-ring ,
etc. ) , & other places that allow
unrestricted travel.
It's YOUR responsibility to check
first with the local jurisdictions.
@@rythemzlatin good to know thanks
I beat your locks with my cinder block through the glass. But seriously I got a metal engraving tool for $1.25 @ Dollar Tree & labeled all my keys as I had 4, but had to add 6 more for my parents in case of emergency.
I'm surprised the hex screws are reachable while it is locked. A random thief probably isn't packing hex keys. Overall you still get a little extra time. Did you get white rubber plugs to cover the screws? If you didn't it might be worth throwing some white silicone in the screw holes to hide them and make it a little harder for that more determined crazy person. I'm sure there are ways to increase security from the inside on the other doors also. I love all the extra stuff you put in the videos...sword/lightsaber type things. Keeps it fun🙂
Seems like they have the same hole configuration even if you turn them upside down or turn them around to the correct door now. It should take you about 2 minutes to screw each one off and then 2 minutes screwing them back on each. So, a total of 8 minutes to switch them around from one door to the other. So you'd have them turn the right way for the key.
does your elbow fit on the door arm rest without being affected by the lock?
lovely lord of the rings moment, keep the up the good work :)
Please hide your keys inside somewhere readily accessible for you in case you need to exit in a hurry--such as waking up to a fire in the van. Maybe have more keys made so you can always stash some extras within reach while you are sleeping.
One thing that truck drivers do that can apply here is to get your seat belt, wrap it around your door if you can and clip it in at night.
Bulletproof glass next!😅
Just subscribed enjoy your wit and informative content
Good video!
Wait ,,. surely if you put the lock upside down then the key would still rotate in the same direction? Did you mean that by having the sticker on top you would have put each lock on the opposite door? That would fix the key rotation direction problem.
Or perhaps I misunderstood?
Suggestion use a hole punch first then drill your hole
I often just run my seatbelts through the door handles, which is fugly but... works.
I lost it you had me a dumbass it's good that you have a sense of humor when you get stuck or you break down thanks for the laughs safe travels my friend
There is also a mechanism that locks the gear shift so you cannot move the vehicle
O C D GOT TO LOVE IT
Elsker dine eventyr
The pink allen keys! 🤭👍🏻
Pink allen wrenches 👀
I had electric deadbolts on my work van added to the rear doors and side slider..
I am not getting your notifications. Sorry, I have month's to catch up on!
i seen a lady who a video f all the van security stuff and i thought her locks were much better as they can be locked when out of van with remote control i beleive. Also a thing to put on windows that makes window tough to completely break and some cracks or a hole but nothing to get in van.
they look good shame they don't sell them here in the UK
Gosh very beautiful ❤️❤️
There is a film you can put on windows on the inside that is shatterproof. Very hard to pierce. You will have to research the name
it's Called Armorcoat and is a clear plastic film that comes in thicknesses from 8-10 mm thick. When I had my own glass company we installed a lot of this on county buildings and even some at the nearby military base.
That would be 8 - 10 MIL thick ,
📏 not mm ! ( 8mm = ~5/16" )
📐
Lefty lucy righty tightly 😮😊
With Central locking, the thief can just enter the side door. You must have an extra lock on the outside of the side door, and a chain on the inside of both doors. Then you sleep better.
There is a Destroy It Yourself adage, "measure twice, cut once".
Sadly I could never install these because my allen keys and box cutters are the wrong color.
😂 hahaha I’m sorry 😣
I was watching another van life video a while back and they use a (I think) a 3M product thats applied to the windows of the van and that stops the windows from shattering and stopping the A$$hates of the world from breaking in. But I never hear of others using it. Do you use it?
I'd pay real good money for a Gandalf alarm 😂
SAME. SAME! 😂😂🔥
Just swap the two locks and the yellow sticker should then be on top. Same holes etc can be used. I hate to see you trying to get out quickly in an emergency at night trying to find keys. A fire etc would be devastating if you're locked inside and in a panic trying to get out.
I'm not sure this is such a good idea. If you ever need to get out for some reason (fire?) you will also have to spend time you might not have fiddling with keys you may not have at hand to open this lock or for something to smash the window with. Might be better off adding something like a chain at the top of the door, people won't be able to reach from the outside unless climbing through the window, but if they're willing to go to that lengths the lock won't do much good either. Better to have a fast exit route yourself in that case.
What about the back doors?
I think i would use simple big bolts on the inside.
Just swap each lock to the other door. 😊
Please don't lock Canada out of your travels, we'd love to have you.
great lock but remember, in case of fire, keep the keys near.
Can you not just switch them door to door so they are correct placement
Heres a link to one of the videos I have saved to my “van security playlist” I’m pretty sure this video has a kind of window or window film that makes it difficult to break the windows too deter people from trying I would share the whole playlist but it is very unorganized with some unrelated vids in there too😭😂plus I made it back in 2019 when I fist began planning for my future van.
ruclips.net/video/qM2oVWMtmVU/видео.htmlsi=ROJaif-CSSUZ-h4O
Also if you don’t trust clicking my link the name of the video is called “impossible to break in🔐12 layers of security” from Ladi & Margret the anti shatter film part of the video was the one I was talking about
Never show your keys to the public. 🔑
Well, at least she's pretty lol
Or your feet. There are some weird people out there haha
And then come up to BC Canada 🇨🇦 a visit lol
Wow those look ghetto installed for that much cost. Plus could limit comfort if arm is on the arm rest.
Isn't it easier to just break the window?
They appear the same. Can't you just swap them? Be careful not to lock yourself in too much in case of an emergency like fire or something.
There is window film which can be installed on inside of windows, which makes side windows and van back windows, be harder for someone to break in, because it's a laminate which holds all the glass together, making it harder to just do a smash and grab. Window Break proof, Smash proof, Security film, for searches. And don't leave "window candy" visible that may entice someone to smash the window wanting to steal it. It also keeps someone from reaching in and unlocking and entering the vehicle. Get a cattle prod too. It's a few feet long and hits like a taser if you need to persuade such person to back out.
Caneras and signage refering to "active vieo surveillance" go alot further in keeping everyone honest
I’m surprised you’re living in the van before you have completed it.
If I lived in the USA I'll be glad to welcome uninvited visitors with a generous serving of lead.
What's the point if someone can just break the window?
To give me extra reaction time if I am in the back of the van. More time to prepare, react, & defend. Also, if someone is trying to break in quickly now they will have to climb through the window of a very high up door so it will be embarrassingly difficult 📈 And at the least I’ll get to watch the entertainment on my camera system 😂
Nope not liking the idea of double locking yourself in a van and needing a key to get out...
