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!

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.

“And that’s what it takes to get the shot”…the lengths you go through, just for us 🤗

[beepbeeblebrox]

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 .

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...

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.

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.

Just switch the locks from one side to the other should be the same bolt pattern put yellow side

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 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.

[GirdHerd]

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.

[phoqtb]

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.

Great idea! Pretty landscape! I’m in the desert too near Joshua tree working on a build as well it’s gonna take a while tho it’s old and I still have to smog it! Safe Travels!!! I get scared drilling holes too tho! I had to cut a big one in the floor when I converted to manual, and it’s definitely not perfect…

[jimw]

Where else can you get lightsaber/sword play in a how to video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love the creativity. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃

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.

You’re so talented… your eyes are beautiful…enjoy your weekend ❤️🥰
