Verhage" Subject: RV10-List: 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.

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! -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=399914#399914 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:27:23 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Cabin Door Locks From: Cooprv7 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!

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. -------- Wayne G.
