Security Locks

[yoyo dude]

Hi

 

Does anyone know a company that sells car door security locks. I am looking to make my sons Anglia a little more secure. A few years ago a company called Hykee used to sell a high security barrel that would replace the barrel in a standard mk 1 cortina (and other old ford) door and boot locks. Unfortunately they now only seem to do stuff for modern vans.

 

Many thanks for any advice

 

Regards

 

Pete

You can PM me for my dad's number as he is a locksmith and could help you out, might even have some of these in the garage

He says he used to deal with the bloke from Hykee but they don't do them any more, so basically I've done naff all to help... Sorry lads.

i'd be very interested too if anyone finds anything out

 

i was contemplating those small deadlock things like commercial vans seem to have but don't much fancy chopping intothe doors and it wouldn't look too good neither

I remember seeing in a Practical Classics sometime last year in a feature they did they had toughers locks that replace the standard barrels..looked smart

These used to be popular.

 

This guy has probably copied the original looking where they are from

Savvi Ive an early escort you know door lock in handle,i dont really wanna start driling holes in my doors wondered if i had any other options lock wise or would i be better of fitting later escort doors an then chucking in newer/solex locks??

[Mick The Cabbie]

I used to have some yale type locks in a Mk1 Escort.

They fitted half way down the door rather than being a replacement of the original lock. A plunger went through into the cars rear 1/4.

Wouldn't mind a couple of sets if they're still available

[Savvi]

You could fit remote deadlocks, no keys as it's done via a alarm or remote locking kit.

This is what i fitted to Prison vehicles last year, the bolt shoots out into the door or pillar.

 

[JAY PS]

You beat me to it i was just thinking about those !

[mk1super]

Are those kits expensive savvi?

[evil knievel]

I'm thinking of getting one of those kits now. Hmmmmm. Maybe a group buy is in order?

[Savvi]

Are those kits expensive savvi?

 

 

Most people will probably think so

 

 

Your looking at £135 for the lock (2 doors) plus you will need a remote kit to operate it ................. approx another £70 ish that's just the cost of parts no fitting ?

 

Slam locks are are approx £100

 

Those trade prices to me and exclude post

 

i'm sure the older lock type will work out cheaper.

What happens if your battery goes flat?

[Savvi]

They are a couple of ways around that

What happens if your battery goes flat?

 

[evil knievel]

What happens if your battery goes flat?

 

 

Or call an auto locksmith

[Savvi]

Or use the over ride cable provided, and fit a mini jack type plug direct to the battery to power the car enough to open the doors

[emu]

Well, I suppose you could do it that way
