    A different security thread - shutters

    *blows the dust off the thread* So, my project has been slowly progressing. Earlier in this thread I brought up door locks. Had those installed a couple years ago. Of course these locks can only be opened from the outside, but they can't be closed without the key. So, no one can come...

    A different security thread - shutters

    Conceal carry might be a problem overseas, I might bring a flint lock though, many gun regulations don't apply to it because it fires so slowly. I have an aussie, but she's a sweetheart.

    A different security thread - shutters

    Yep, lots of threads about that. That's something I'm gonna do. But I didn't find any threads about shutters so here I am. I've narrowed the door lock to either the dead bolt I saw someone attached below the door or a container lock I found that I'll put on the door. This is an example, not...

    A different security thread - shutters

    I am putting electronics in the cab and want to avoid smash & grabs. 1/4" steel plate is ~10lbs per sq/foot. That would make the door shutter around 45 lbs which is waaay more weight than I'm looking for. I sent away for a sample of 1.5" UHMWPE which is 8x lighter than steel. All together...

    A different security thread - shutters

    So, I'm about to put some stuff in my cab that might be attractive to thieves. Obligatory: I know nothing can be fully secure, I just want to prevent opportunity thieves, drunks, amateurs and/or slow someone down as I also intend on sleeping in the back while traveling. Anyone seriously...
