Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 5:36 am Post subject: Door handles

With all the talk about the doors I’ve been doing some thinking regarding the factory setup vs the aftermarket handles.  I like the flush look and operation of the handles like Hendricks and others but the lack of  a positive locking detent really makes me nervous.   

   

 I also want a way to lock the doors so they can’t be opened by any passerby.  The is especially important with the TSA rumblings that all GA aircraft must have locked doors.  It’s not a law yet but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it conceded to stop something bigger.  Frankly having the kind of investment in these aircraft that we do it’s a bit silly to not have the doors locked somehow.  I know, if a thief really wants in he will get in.  But a thief also isn’t going to stop at a plane with locks if a better target is around or if it will take too long or be too noticeable to circumvent them.  

   

  So to that end someone had posted a while back a way to make a baggage door lock work with the standard Van’s door handles.  Anyone still have the links to that?

Another option is a ignition kill switch and an alarm. My  alarm can be triggered by mechanical shock or current drain or both. The first  mechanical shock gets a voice warning, the second sounds the alarm.For those who  have installed the door proximty switch, the other side of that circuit could be  used to trigger the alarm. I imagine an alarm on an airport ramp would get  attention unlike the mall parking lot.

Michael, i have been offering a handle kit similar to the  Hendricks, but in a complete kit form, thinner in profile, specifically designed  for the rv10. My design allows the latching system to remain in place as vans  designed. when i started designing the handles the primary idea was to leave all  the door latch mech alone. my handles simply replace the outside handle, just in  a different position. they also allow standard lock cylinders for locking (just  like the Hendricks) and i am introducing on the website this week a flush  stainless lock system for all rv10's. easily installed into even flying  aircraft. 

 sorry to toot my own horn, but with all the talk about door  and latches and the importance of such systems i just want all to know there are  options...

Steven,  

   

I see that you’ve added many new products to your site.  The elevator trim bracket and the aluminum door guides caught my eye.  Are you reselling Rivethead-Aero’s product or are you manufacturing these yourself?  

   

Thanks,  

   

Bob

Bob,  

            i make all my own parts. They are modified versions I made for myself and decided to offer on the website. Check the site often as I’m adding new stuff all the time. Next up are lightweight fiberglass interior trim panels, and a leather interior handle cover…

I installed a set of Steven’s on my plane and am really happy with them.  I really wanted flush handles and one of the criteria was that they preserve the locking feature of the stock handles.
