The Peugeot door locks are not very secure. As we travel throughout Europe quite often, and having read of break-ins to Motorhomes I decided to fit in the van doors, Dead Locks from:
Safeway Security Products, Birkenhead. L43 4XW.
They cost me £25.90 in April 2002.Try their site at:www.safewaysLtd.co.uk/ for details.

Deadlock Parts on display |
This was a project for this page. but Steven Stewart's site has explained this in greater detail. I cannot improve on this. A site worth visiting for those who require security in their Motorhomes. His photographs explain it all.
See installation details: www.xor.org.uk/unimog/mymog/deadlock.htm
See also his Home page: http://www.xor.org.uk/This Motorhome is the second in which I have installed these security devices, i.e. The Roll Bolt. I found it a lot harder with the Peugeot Boxer doors and would not recommend this installation for the non DIY person.
The cab door photo below shows the lock in place , this is not a suitable position as it fouls the door mechanism when doing the installation work. I had to work around this. Having said that, to the intruder, this is an indicator of a more secure door!
While in Spain another Motorhome owner showed me his door locks, it had been fitted much lower down and was fitted by a lock smith. The owner said he had travelled from Devon to Sussex to have the work done.

As Steven mentions the door securing plastic 'Fir tree' retainers break easily.
