Keith RW Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Evening all can anyone enlighten me and point me in the direction of what I need to make use of the internal locking mechanism on this caravan/camper door lock so as to be able to lock from inside, the small "D" shaped spindle rotates approx 90 degrees from opened to locked which operates a small dead bolt, but not much clearance between it and the pull handle to open the door, might have to make something if not readily available. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Hello, you could get some thin tube to slide over the D shape and make a wedge that will go in the tube making the D shape, glue the wedge in the tube Edited September 1, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
