Maverik Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I can't remember where I spotted them but I've seen some circular type external fitting door locks, they look really tidy and neat, they're like a Limpet type locks, but look heaps better! Has anyone got any seen anything/got anything like I've described? Cheers Mav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I was looking at these, TJN has them on his 130. I found a company selling them but I was too slow in purchasing, and they now have no stock and are discontinued by the manufacturer. Really need to find some decent extra locks for the 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hmmm, not what I was hoping to hear... Do you know what they are/where called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 They were made by safeways. I spoke to these people AK locks. They told me they were out of stock and discontinued Annoyingly they haven't bothered to update their website so it still shows them.

Clive Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have seen some with the name 'Solex' on them. I haven't googled them yet so can't help any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepow Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 do you mean one of these? shackless van lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 These were the ones I was thinking of Solex Locks But trolling through the internet, some people think they are brilliant and others think they are cr*p! These fit in the existing barrels, although they have to be in the door and not in the handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardAllen Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 They look like standard radial pin locks with an arm made to fit the door mechanism of the car in question. Some radial pin locks are supposed to be harder to pick than standard barrel locks, but then some can be picked with a biro. I had to get a locksmith to open one recently on my gun cabinet, and he had to use a specially constructed end mill to drill it out. However, looking at the rest of the stuff on the the Solex website www.speeding.co.uk, it looks to me suspiciously like go-faster-stripe boy-racer Astra Corsa kit (eg "Start Ya person I'm not that keen on" spray, anti-theft number plate bolts -FFS, sonic scrubber - who is she ?) . I would not rely on stuff like that for my truck security without experience from one of the serious grown-ups on here.

Maverik Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 hmmmm something like the shackless lock, but those do look a bit clunky, although better than to tin hasp that was on my rear door before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
