C15 Rear Door Lock - not secure!

Post by wilruf »

Hi all,

I've just bought a C15 and am anxious about how unsafe the rear door is. The owner told me to - without pushing the lock in - rotate it 180 degrees clockwise. This does lock it but I can then unlock it with pretty much any similar key. Today I tried covering it in WD40, pushing the lock in half way - as all the way would open it - and rotating 180 degrees clockwise. This feels solid put if I push the lock hard it opens the door.. Please can someone advise how it should operate?

Thanks in advance for any help

You can have a complete van from me for free if you can take it away from Surrey/M25 j9!
If you need real security on one of these you'd need some angle-iron bolted through with a hefty padlock.
Otherwise don't leave anything of value in it overnight - innit?
All the best, RB
