fitting extra deadlocks on doors - who to ask?

[stuartp]

After my recent lucky escape where I woke up to find two blokes wheeling my car out of the close I'm keen on fitting the (Chubb I think) deadlocks I have had laying around for a while to the bottom of the doors on my car

 

I don't think I can do it myself but I just have no clue who I would go to for such a task - it's not really bodywork, it's not mechanical, it's not electrical - what kind of a business should I be asking?

 

anyone have a clue?

 

anyone on here do it?

I did it many moons ago to my old Mk1 Escort - Only special tools required were a drill and a metal file. Took about an hour a side including touching up the paint that had been drilled to protect from rust.

do you not need to cut straight holes in the door and the pillar aswell as drilling the hole for the key?

[SmokeEm]

I drilled a few holes and then hacksaw'd them together and cleaned it up with a file

[stuartp]

that actually sounds like something I could just about manage

Only other thing I used was tippex to put a blob on the end of the latch to see where it hits the door shut

Enter your postcode in here Stu and then search for slam locks or deadlocks I cant remember where you are now but there should be someone close to you.
