Upgraded locks?

Post by dan54 »

Is there any company selling better door locks E.G ones that cant be opened with a straw :P, because the area I live in is not on the friendly scale, Just need the drivers door and the ignition barrel.
Thanks Dan

You can get replacement door locks - new keys/barrels from any MM supplier. Worn barrels are easier to open. Fit a crooklock and a fuel cut off device.

Your locks are only easy to open because they are completely worn out! You don't need to upgrade - just replacement ones.

If they can't open the door - they will just bust a window. Best to park it indoors for security! But in any case - DO fit a secret fuel pump switch - and use it - every time you leave the car.
