This isn't the lock that took him 4 hours to get into when his key snapped is it?!

I think Ken's van is a relatively old Escort is it not from what I remember, so will probably be more box shaped than newer models, so the doors will be more flush...

I've fitted it now anyway, it was just a bit more problematic than I thought!

yea I know, it's really the most practical anyhow... I'd like to get into safe work, use one of those armored (no, it's not 'armour') trucks that banks and whatnot use to haul cash as the company vehicle used for field work. nobody can helt but notice one of those.
