M996/7 ambulance body rear door lock

I recently added a Yale P-82 deadbolt to my ambulance body so that I could access it from the back rather than having to crawl through the passenger compartment. Thought I'd share the idea.

Hey, that´s a neat idea ! I could really use this for my ambulance.... Do you have a pic from the outside ?

From the outside it looks like a standard keyed deadbolt.

Ah, thanks very much. Pretty inconspicuous, and for sure better than the chain-and-padlock-number I´ve seen on in-service ambulances.

I bought this Yale lock after seeing them on the door of the hotel I stayed at in England. It's a standard Yale product over there but you can order one from Amazon here in the states.
Looking at the P-89 I realized that the brass latch is tapered like a standard door latch would be. If you want more of a deadbolt design with a square brass piece look for a Yale P-82
