Has anyone used these? Its a tree slider door locking system the idea appears to be useful to aid security I know not completely fool proof but how strong are they if anyone has a set how about a mini review.

Nice idea, but I think it should be extended further down the door.

Looks good.

But he should have patented it if he wanted any IP rights.

Yes my thoughts as well, could easily have been made longer to stop levering the door outer skin away from the window.

It's a good idea - maybe it's just me, but it looks too shallow for a tree slider.

Good review on Defender2.net where a member has fitted them.

terry taylor · Jan 18, 2015

I've got them fitted chaps

What do you use on the back door?

The back door fit is a smaller version

Hope it's good - mine arrive tomorrow!

Looks like each side is two parts , I don't understand why it doesn't extend from the Middle then lock off.... If that makes sense ?

solarbud · Jan 30, 2015

They've arrived - how the bloody hell do you fit them?

The nuts only seem to go partway onto the bolts, is that right? Do the bolts go from the inside of the car out or vice versa?

They seem pretty chunky though!

Ahh thats clever! Much easier to install than deadlocks cheaper too.

ERA block lock. Google them. 5 Keyed alike and all five doors covered. These do look nice though !

Posted a pic a while ago and now i get an email from a member with zero posts asking where to drill. Being very suspicious i've not answered. Maybe said person might introduce himself first in forum.

I quite like that. Looking forward to the review

The bolts fit from the outside .ideally a two person job but managed on my own.
Line up carefully and mark the holes ...then check again.
Use a punch to mark a drill hole ,small drill then larger to get a good tight fit..
Same for the window / door bolts but the bolts will need tobe cut. I used steel washers on the inside between the nut .also I ran a bead of silicon on the rear and around the holes just to be sure.
Two hours work job done..make sure door joints are as tight as you can get them.

The lock

Looks quite good and the design rights he has registered give him a relatively decent amount of protection! Well done him!
