Great idea to make a video with the radio running... 😀 And you cut into your door with the dremel....

Thanks for good instructions. I cut my template at the red line and just hold it towards the Remi blind and marked with a pencil, that made it a bit easier to see where to cut.

You did a good job sir , thanks for sharing. Bravo 👏

Good job well done. The odd little scratch is of no consequence compared the peace of mind these will give you.

Just found you channel and so glad I did, not seen these type of locks before and think they are an excellent idea, not too keen on chains etc. Just ordered some from Amazon. Thanks for sharing. Just settling down with a cuppa to watch some more of your very informative videos.

Looks a nice neat lock, gives you more security & peace off mind, think I will get them for my MH 👍

Steve ive fitted these, its easier to take the plastic window cover off ,it only has 4 screws on it and then you can cut around template and you cant then scratch the door.

Well done , Steve, great job.

Thanks for sharing Steve definitely a good option to add makes you wonder why the manufacturers don't add these as standard take care and safe travels

Hindsight such a good thing . I,ve used the suco on my fridge 2 yrs and still good

Well Done Steve they do a great Job

Steve.It is really easy to remove the blinds and cut them off the job.At the top left hand corner of the blind there is a remis badge.This just clips off and behind it is just one self tapping screw.Remove this and then pull the blinds slightly forward and gently push upwards at the same time.It makes cutting so easy.Maybe you could video and demonstrate just how easy it is😉.

Looks good Steve, a good deterrent x

Top job 👏👍

Great video thanks for sharing

Hi Steve & Wendy ,,, With reference to the cut out for lock ,,, from Halfords or a motorcycle accessory shop u could use a Rubber fairing trim in all colours to hide the plastic cut & make neater,,, Off to Benidorm for some Winter Sun a week today in Motorhome for 4mths on 24th Jan,, safe travels guys 👍

Good job, I see the weather is going to be rough there from late Sunday til about Wednesday, lots of heavy rain forecast and some are saying possible more flooding again! I hope it doesn't happen again! 🤞

Hi Steve, very interesting video, I've recently fitted these to my van don't have the remis blinds to worry about, one thing that has occurred though my habitation door has a developed a locking issue, make sure your habitation door functions 100% , if you get a problem with it there is no way into your van if you have deadlocked the front

Good job buddy, peace of mind 👌😉👍

rob yates why don't you mask the gray plastic of and run a bead of black sikaflex or stixall neatly around it will also help to secure it better.

A bit of rubber door edge trim would clean up you cut and make it look a lot better. A Dremel tool would cut cleaner with just the last bits to finish by hand.

Paint code from Halfords or similar Fiat Grigo 691/a Just touched mine up and perfect match

I have both the Remis and the HEO lock to fit on my project. I’m wondering if it would be easier to cut the blind before it’s mounted. Must watch again to see if that looks feasible.

Sorry i didn't get it all. Are those cutting templates in the original kit from HEO or where can i get them?

Hi Steve Rather you than me cutting up the van, good job though. We left Norfolk only last Friday but are already at Denia in Spain. We are on a site called Loas Llanos if you are passing this way. Its cheap and has all facilities. Paul

Nice one Steve can u only use the lock from the inside of cab cheers .kev

Cut it tighter then finish with a piece of glass paper to get a accurate finish and use masking tape to protect the paint work and easier to see pencil marks . They should slow anyone down from entering but are you going to fit pro plates to deter them attempting again ? As some have said I traded mine onto a scrap piece of paper then used that as a template .

Just push on a piece of black plastic trim over the cut plastic blind cover, it will make it look a much neater finish and fill the gap.

Hi Steve, I added these to my van today too, 6 deg C, windy, and dodging the showers in the UK. I think you had a better working environment. No matter how careful one is trimming the Remis cover I think adding a cap strip over the edge is going to be the only way to make it look neat. I have a Ducato panel van conversion so I have other HEOSafe locks too. On the outside of the van I have fitted 2 x HEOSafe 1760 locks (available in black, white, or silver). Very easy, just nerve racking drilling 8 holes through the side of the van. The same key fits all the HEOSafe locks, if you order the single key set. On the inside of the sliding door on my van I also fitted a HEOSafe 1763 internal deadlock. That is a bit more challenging! It is very difficult to see what you are doing and you to have to align the inner and out portions to within a couple of millimetres. Then you have to drill 12mm holes in the plastic door pillar trim to mount the inner portion on the metal door pillar underneath the trim. I found I have a cable running in that section behind the trim which I had to avoid. The good news is that the insect screen still pulls across, and goes behind the lock. A good days work. Now wondering about the ProtectAvan ProPlates? They are going to be hard work, as I have 4 Fiat handles, and you have to remove all the internal door trims! I think the main advantage of the ProPlates is that they are visible, and should deter people, and stop them damaging the van before they find the HEOSafe locks securing the doors.

Hi Steve, possibly a bit late now but could you not have loosened the remis blind to give you a gap between the door?

Hi Steve, I've just fitted these and I had to cut a bit of the grey plastic under the rubber where the lock keep goes to allow the lock to fully engage, did you have to do this, very pleased with the locks, look better than the milenco ones when fitted, great vid BTW 👍

Use Wendy’s colouring pens to cover the paint cut.

Hi Steve, re template. Perhaps you should have traced onto a piece of paper. Then instructions would be in one piece. Helpful video though.

Can i buy that for my Renault traffic van for security, my van was commercial van converted to camper.

Can you get a single lock for hab door ?

Be careful you don't lock yourselfs out, sounds daft, but it happens.

Is Mike Graham upset with Harry??
