Simple and secure I think.

It looks good however, could someone with a phillips screwdriver simply remove the 7 screws and have room to work around the lock/latch you made?

The inside layer of steel door is all one piece. It is harder than the triangular handle pocket. Cutting the bolt head off would be the easiest way to defeat it.

It would be easier to break a window.

Bolt cutter to lock would be quieter than busting out a window.
All locks really do is keep honest people honest.
If it gives you peace of mind, that's all that really matters...

Tskes less than a minute to remove a rear door window.I would never have a lock on a door that could not be unlocked from outside, just sayun.

Leaving the bus unlocked parked at a store, movie, whatever, for hours is risky.

I have more and more valuable things in there as time progresses.

You are right. Keeping an honest man honest is all you can do.

You mean unlocked from the inside? As in trapped inside?

As a wheelchair user this is the only door I can go in and out. If i am inside I cannot lock it or lock myself in.

Did you mean to say inside?

In this case you could simply remove the lock when you get underway, or are camping inside for the night...

I agree, it's risky. I'm worried about the times you come back from the store and leave it locked and for what ever reason you need an emergency egress and you're locked in.

Didn't realize this is your lift door, duh.
I'm not sure how many punk thugs would actually know how to operate the lift to gain access to the inside, but if you left it unattended for any length of time, eventually they'd probably figure it out.

I'm going to do something similar to mine whenever I can get back to working on it again.
Thanks for the idea.

There is no way for me to get in with the lock in place.

The subject door is his wheelchair lift door and would only be locked from outside when he wasn't in the bus...

That's the only access to the inside of your bus?
Didn't realize it was the WC door.

Take a look at my photo album Marc. In an emergency i could get out the front folding doors or the back door too. Without my chair.....

Looks good to me. I would say that you have secured that door as good as it could possibly be secured.

not to hard to do

mmoore6856 · 09-21-2019, 06:13 PM

i worried about having a rear escape door that was locked on the outside

They can simply use an angle grinder with cutting disk and cut the lock or a chain or make a door wherever they like. Only total security is a 24 hour guard!! I haven't found anything that I can not cut with the angle grinder, just a matter of time available. I power the angle grinder with a 3,000 watt converter on a group 31 AGM battery. will last about 3 hrs on a fully charged bat for general use.
