When your inside the car lean over and push the lever that opens the door forward. This locks the door

mostly just from habit I guess, (am so used to central locking in new cars) and also today's environment.... nice to know that you can at least lock the doors from the inside of the car if required.
May have to fit central locking on this one.

I've considered locking mine through the window with the key... never actually done it I don't think.
