A really good place to hide a spare key is between the license plate and the flip down door it's mounted to. Open to door and undo one of the wingnuts holding the license plate on. Pull the bolt out and line up the key betwwen the plate and door so the hole in the key is in line with the plate mounting hole. Shove bolt throught all three holes and re-secure with wing nut. This may require opening up the hole in the key so the bolt fits through. Just be sure to put it back after you use it! > Don't forget a spare key hidden outside/under the van with a hide-a-key box. > > It's no fun locking yourself out of the van in the middle of > nowhere...or losing your van keys. > |
