| Subject: | Cabin Door Locks |
Guys,
You can use your extra matched keyed lock sent with the kit (just like
the baggage door lock) and install it in the left cabin door. Drill a
hole through the Lexan and mount the lock so the lock bar is aligned
with one of the geared sliding bars of the latch assembly. This will
prevent the geared sliding bar from moving forward when someone tries to
open the door. If you need, I have the dimensions for placing the lock,
etc. Please feel free to email me your mailing address and I'll send
you a sketch. This works very well and looks professional.
To lock the right hand cabin door, make a slide in the inside handle
that slides a bar inside the handle to prevent someone from pushing the
outside handle button to release the lock.
You'll have to use a little ingenuity to make it work.

For a slide inside the right door handle I just cut an L shaped piece of wood and
sanded one arm to fit snugly. Because the wood has a small amount of give it
won't fall out on its own.
If you are young and thin the cheapest locks are to make two of these, lock both
doors, and climb out the baggage door!

I have actually consider this option, sort of. My thought was to make a wedge
to lock the right door as suggested, and then another on a telescoping rod that
could reach the left door from the baggage door. The problem is it's not a
straight shot due to the back seat and if the wedge became disconnected it might
make for an interesting entry into the airplane.
Fun with experimentals!

I use a 1/4" wooden dowel. One piece about 2" long for copilot side and the other
36" for pilot side. Flatten one end with sander. With tow bar installed as
my gust lock, seat forward to hold gust lock, lean seat back forward and install
door lock by reaching over rear seat back. KISS.
