P1000 Lockable Underseat Storage Access Door

[hibbert]

Hey,

My LE already includes the underseat storage addon but it really is annoying to remove the seat each time.

I see a lot of people install this marine door-

But then it's easy for anyone to open and loot it.

So I was thinking about using a plastic or steel door like these-

I was wondering if anyone had a better suggesting for a locakable underseat storage door? Ideally I would like one with a combo lock so I don't have to remember keys.

I know that they could be opened with a screwdriver easily, but it would at least deter opportunisitic theft.

P.S. If anyone else is looking for secure storage options, I also installed the Hi-Standard Outfitters centre console which is absolutely awesome.

Even if you lock the storage door if someone really wants to get at it they just pop the seat up. The marine door works nice cause you can trim one of the outer lips for a nice flush finish

Yes but that would require working knowledge of the machine and removing a child seat that's ratched in place versus just the marine door that opens easily.

Obviously no lock down there is going to be 100% secure but a simple lock will deter most opportunistic theft in combination with the alarm.

True.

Have you considered the door storage mod. Really an out of sight out of mind scenario. Unless thief knows of the mod no way to find it

That will be the next one!

Also if security is a big concern, I'm sure you can modify/replace the glove box lever to lock. I've not looked into it too much but I'm sure its doable

JMO, I think you are 'overly concerned' where there really in not a problem. Most folks have other gear in the SxS that is totally exposed. Is ALL your gear securely locked up while riding with a group?

Yes I am going to replace that with a combo lock.

I live in Costa Rica where opportunistic theft is rampant at the moment. It's also street legal to drive and will often be parked while surfing in busy lots.

Obviously I'll never leave anything high value but even busted up $10 flip flops thrown into the back of the bed aren't safe. A simple lock and motorcycle alarm will deter most in busy lots.

Even then, wouldn’t take much to pry that door off really quick, nothing truly is safe but it would deter the random opportunity guy more so If there was a lock. I still wouldn’t feel safe leaving anything of value in there, tools etc I’m not as worried about I guess.

You could always put a small safe in there and secure it.

I have a pad lock on my gate, but you can still open the gate normally because of how long the shackle is.

You'll be amazed how many people that keeps out even though you can just open it the same as if the padlock isn't there haha!

It's been a 1 step forward 2 step backwards kind of progress!

It will be finished when USPS get's their act together - just missing the isolator, cab skid plates and to find something to protect sticks coming through the dash behind the wheels and it's done!
