Guys:  I used the extra lock that comes with the kit to make a keyed 

lock for the left door.  It basically turns the bolt (like the baggage 

door) so that the end of the bolt is in line with the top geared slide 

bar in the door latch preventing the top geared bar from moving forward 

letting the door locking tubes release the door.  You can find the 

details of how I mounted the lock in Matronics archives or Vans Airforce 

archives as I have listed the instructions on each web site.  You can 

also make a very simple slide in the handle of the right door which 

prevents one from pushing the door handle button in from the out side so 

the handle can not be turned.  This too is in both archives.  If you 

can't find them, send me a self addressed envelope and I will send you 

copies of the instructions and drawings of how to do it.  The left door 

lock will not mess up the paint if you have it painted already. Carroll

I have a very sophisticated door lock on the right (co-pilot) side. I stick a

popsicle stick or tongue depressor in the free space under the aluminum

lock release.

I use a small piece of pine for the same purpose. Passengers are less likely to stick it into their mouth. -
