    There is this one. http://lock-m-out.co.uk/

    Personally I would not fit one. If a thief wants to get in they will do. I prefer as little damage as possible.

    Agree with ET.  However looking at his link I see that 'lock-me-out' say that 'probably' most of thefts to a caravan are with entry through a window.  I would have thought that the door was the most vulnerable point.  Milenco do a door security lock if you are worried.  Don't take valuables with us on holiday anyway.  Suppose a battery, contents of awnings or aquaroll are the easiest to pinch - and also the plastic cover on the pump connection,  some b..... d stole mine last year whilst my caravan was in my Gold Storage compound.yell

    A few years ago somebody arrived on site without their caravan key. I think hey had  a spare in the caravan  laughing

    It took me about 30 seconds to open the small kitchen window without damage and for chaps son to gain access.

    At a dealership a chap had a similar problem. I told him to speak to the workshop and a chap came out and opened a window in a similar time frame.

    I bought and fitted a set of Lock-em-out window locks. Firstly the web site is very helpful in my view. The locks seem well engineered and fit nicely. They do provide a discrete visual deterrence for anyone looking at your windows. 

    My view was that for the price it might provide additional security bearing in mind Easy T’s comments about how easy the windows actually are to open.
