Got my front door lock installed today... Went a lot easier than planned. I'll post pics when it's light out. Really happy, only have a brass key lock exposed outside
But, it's this style ... Mounted latch mechanism (right) on bus side and catch (left) on door side... Didn't even have to cut rubber seal.

I'd picked up several different styles at hardware store and talked myself out of them... Even one of the big Master puck lock. But I wanted a single set up I could use from both sides. And I was worried about the puck lock... If someone wanted to be an ass, they could padlock me inside!

On a side note....
I just brought a queen sized mattress and box springs through my front door, by myself. And I've got the big dog house!
Wouldn't say it was simple, but the mattress went in easier than the box springs

Do you have a photo of your rear door install?

The 2 locks are as follows
The one in the handle locks the handle closed. A master key is used in it.
The other lock is the dead bolt and the key sold with the lock is used.
Never use the handle lock as the security lock.

Or slipping a padlock on the outside while you're inside...
I'd rather have something I can operate from both sides

I drilled a small hole in the tongue of the existing latch for the rear and wheelchair doors and we simply insert a pin (actually a blunted nail) into the hole. Once you do that, no one can move the lever to open the door from the outside. You can't unlock them from the outside, but that is why you have the drivers side and righthand doors.

I'm not a gadget guy, Low-Tech is my comfort Some!
For the front, I installed a hasp. Padlocked at all times: for obvious reasons when I'm away, and to not get locked in by a prankster when sleeping. Plus, it makes it harder for me to lose the lock...
The back door has a patio slider lock I already had. Not much good for locking the door from without, but that hasn't been an issue. The thumb screw blocks the lever, and lodges tightly onto the guard. Easy peasy!
Now, back to work resolving cold fusion...

Factory Front Door Lock
I assume this a factory set up? There is suppose to be a metal sleeve on the inside front half. You crank the outside handle and it ratchets the bar into the sleeve. Sleeve is missing here, I'll make a new one.
