So long as I'm in a good mood and endorsing products this week, I thought I might as well share my new Door Locks, courtesy of Overland Hardware, run by Joaquim Suave of Casa Azul fame.
It's quite likely that during our round-the-world trip, we're going to leave the truck for up to a couple of months at a time, if we have to fly back somewhere for family issues, etc. I knew we wanted a solid way of locking access to the EcoRoamer when we were away from it, so these seemed like a great fit.
I first saw these used on the Scott's Expedition West Taco, and read the review in the Overland Journal.
My original intention was to order a set of New York City Van locks like this:
But then decided to give these a try, and they're beautiful. OH supplied the aluminum hasps, and a set of padlocks all with a single matching key.
We sprayed them in the paint booth to match the truck and they came out really nice. Here they are on the truck:
No sharp edges either means they won't hurt anybody or catch on your clothes when getting in and out of the truck. We're thinking about spraying the locks neon orange as an extra visual deterent to keep people away from trying anything with the truck while we're gone.
I love the way they turned out, and thought I should share that. Here endeth the commercial...
Cheers,
Jay.
PS - I paid full price for these and received no compensation for this recommendation. Though a cold beer at the next ExPo campout would be nice!
