Product Information
Full details
This Motorhome Door Frame Lock by SecureFix Direct is designed for owners of motorhomes and caravans seeking to enhance vehicle security. Its primary benefit is deterring opportunistic theft by providing an additional physical barrier that prevents doors from being opened, even if the primary lock is compromised. A key consideration is that it requires a minimum door frame width of 14mm for installation and is a mechanical lock, not electronic.

Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to twist
Check for obstructions around the plate or frame. Ensure screws are not over-tightened, preventing movement. Clean any debris from the mechanism.
Screws do not hold securely
Ensure the door frame material is solid enough for screw attachment. If the frame is damaged or too thin, consider alternative mounting methods or reinforcement.
Key does not turn or operate the lock smoothly
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check if the mechanism is aligned correctly. Lightly lubricate the keyhole if necessary, using a graphite-based lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the lock, align the main body with the desired position on your motorhome or caravan door frame. Ensure the minimum door frame width of 14mm is met. Use the provided screws to securely fasten the lock assembly into the door frame. Once installed, test the twist mechanism to ensure it moves freely and effectively covers the door.
Compatibility: This lock is designed for motorhomes and caravans. It is compatible with doors that have a suitable frame to accommodate the 150mm length and 90mm width of the lock plate when engaged. Verify your door frame dimensions before purchase.
Care: Periodically wipe the lock mechanism with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the moving parts remain unobstructed for smooth operation. Check screw tightness occasionally.
