I want to devise some type of lock for my neoplans front (only) door. the door is typical transit, and is the 2 section door. I want to lock it in parking lots, ect, and after spending most of the day staring at it, i came up with no ideas...
any suggestions???

Shawn I drilled two holes one on each door and added a eyebolt put nuts on from the backside. and use chain that will fit thru the eyebolt. I used stainless steel eyebolts. I had to find something to use fast and this works. |

Shawn,
I used a nice looking hinged strap style lock, that would normally flip over a padlock loop, only this lock doesn't use a padlock, it has a 90 degree turning key lock.
I put the turning lock piece just infront of the door and the hinge strap piece on the front half door. This keeps the door from being moved out and opened. Mine is an MCI, I don't know how yours opens for clearance. |

My MC 9 had a deadbolt mounted on the left door that went from the door edge into the vertical support. This kept the doors from being pulled open since they are geared together. If your doors retract into the opening you could try that or maybe one deadbolt on each door at the outer edges so that they couldn't be pulled outward to open. I guess that would depend also on how the doors are hinged. |

__. I'm trying to work out a lock solution for my "four-fold" doors (pair). These are transit doors with four panels -- two per side -- which split in the middle so that two panels on each side retract towards the side door jambs. They're *very* compact, taking only a little room to provide a wide door opening, but they're a devil to come up with a lock system for.
__. When the system is aired up, they're almost impossible to open but once the air is gone, you only have to push on the hinges of each pair of panels.
__. The previous owner used a cable-type bicycle lock spanning handle to handle but I'd like something more elegant than that.
__. I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks, Bruce Henderson, Wallace NC

We Use two eyelets bolted through both sides of the door, then a long shaft padlock. Quick, easy and works well.
