The best approach is to use a combination of mechanical door protection, additional door locks, side door or rear door locks, a pedal lock, and supplementary electronic security measures. For the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper, the most important first step is to protect the driver’s door against the well-known “prick attack.”

For Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper, the first step should be to protect the driver’s door against the well-known prick attack. The next priority depends on the vehicle type: on camper vans, the rear door can also be important, while on semi-integrated and coachbuilt motorhomes the habitation door is often the main weak point. A pedal lock provides additional protection against vehicle theft.

Which doors are most at risk on Which motorhome doors are most vulnerable to break-ins?

The burglary protection of the Fiat Ducato and vehicles of the same design has a glaring weakness: A burglar can pierce the thin sheet metal of the door with a sharp object and then trigger the central locking system.

Prickstop effectively prevents this. The robust anti-theft protection consists of an additional 1.5 mm thick stainless steel plate that reinforces the sheet metal. This makes it much more difficult to prick the door with hand tools.

What is the difference between Prickstop and HeoSafe?

There is no lock (locking cylinder) on the front passenger door, so it is not possible to trigger the central locking with this method and no Prick Stop is necessary there.

There is no lock on the sliding door, so there is no pinch stop for it.

For semi-integrated motorhomes, the driver’s door of the base vehicle is the most important point to protect with Prickstop. The habitation door should also be secured with a suitable additional lock. Depending on how the vehicle is used, a pedal lock, storage-compartment or rear-garage security, and an alarm system can also be useful.

The easiest way is to use the break-in protection configurator. Simply select your vehicle type, base vehicle and the relevant doors, and you will receive a tailored recommendation for Prickstop protection plates, door security products, rear-door locks, pedal locks and other security upgrades.
