Thin foam household door draught excluder inside the plastic surrounds that the pins move through.

Our if it is thick, just on one side.

Worked on mine.

Maybe it is just me, but I dont like the idea of the doors being locked when driving.

What if your in an accident and can't be pulled out, coz your doors are locked

Isn't there something in place to unlock the doors in such a case? Linked to air bag maybe?

I would have thought so, although I must admit, I don't like driving around with the doors locked either

You get used to it after driving in the States ..    10-15 mph all the doors lock ... every time. Apparently an attempt to stop both carjacking and idiots stepping out of moving cars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a "crash switch" - inertia activated - that is probably linked to seatbelt pre-tensioners - to ensure they unlock in the event of a mishap ..

Most cars now autolock above, say, 5mph.  Apparently we can't trust our kids not to jump out at speed.

Trust me, they would only do it once, and it would be really good for the gene pool.

SWMBO's Smart auto locks, but as there is no equivalent of the locking pin on the doors, you just pull the interior door handle to unlock. You can turn auto lock off if you want to.
