ANG0225 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Has anyone installed a security latch on the inside of their door? I am thinking that it would work like the motel security latches but hopefully look better and not be so big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The motel type of security latches are designed for doors that open in, and so would not work on your door that opens out. You could put one of the chain latches designed for a house on your RV door if there is space for it. Keep in mind that it would need to be anchored to something very solid in order to be effective. To my knowledge, security has never been a significant issue for most people traveling by RV unless they stay in really bad locations. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Pat & Pete Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I doubt you'll find a latch that's as effective as the dead bolt normally installed in RVs . About the only thing more effective would be to have the lock re-keyed . We've never used the dead bolt portion of the door lock , except when literally on the road . That to prevent the door from possibly popping open from possible twisting / turning which 'might' allow the door catch to undo . As for security when in camp ... just use your head about where you stay . We've never had a problem in 7 years of full timing . Read this short thread to see how long it took a supposed RV tech to 'break into an RV' : Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANG0225 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Pat and Pete, that is a gnarly worst case scenario. Lord help us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
