Eviejeep Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I have the fiamma version fitted to my Elnagh and I’m happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ive had the Fiamma long version fitted to 2 vans ti assist entry. Regarding security !- yes they would act as a deterrent for entry through the habitation door & the associated damage , but any determined thief would simply look for alternative weak spots.

Keithl Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 They also advertise the fact that the MH is unoccupied as you would never lock one when in residence. Without one potential thieves would not know if anyone was inside or not. And agree that they are only as strong as the structure they are fixed to. Also they could be a royal pain to fix if, say, the fridge or cupboards where in the way. Finally I personally don't like the idea of any more holes than absolutely necessary being drilled in our MH so consequently will never fit one. Just my view! Keith.

John52 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Owners won't know how good these things are because they will never test them like a thief does - with a hefty crowbar and no concern for the damage caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Incidentally vehicle theft is rising after many years of falling due to improved security - thieves must be learning ways around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The handles most widely available are Fiamma- or Milenco-branded. For any realistic anti-theft capability there will need to be a locking attachment on the door itself (example here) https://www.agentfiamma.co.uk/fiamma-security-46-pro-caravan-door-lock.html A handle that merely folds across the door but does not lock to it may be fine to assist access, but it offers a huge amount of leverage when the locking mechanism is just built into a hinge. Thieves generally aren’t wimps and they will have few qualms about causing expensive damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
