I think he's referring to what we call city locks.
Two pieces, one on each door, then a bigass padlock that goes OVER them, and locks without exposing the hasp or shackle to boltcutters.

I never had a problem with Savana doors, but the pre-'95 Vanduras ALWAYS had hinge problems.

What stops someone from hitting that thing what a sludge and ripping the bolts out of the metal?
Yeah I know, it would be noisy.

Yeah, it could be done, but it'd be easier to go after the whole damn door with a cordless recipsaw.

I've replaced the door hinges on a 99 with stainless steel pins.
Brakes and side doors have been constant problems, but at least they are not major problems.
Those GM bastards won't admit their hinge design is faulty though.

This is my 3rd 3/4 ton Chevy van. I buy a new one every 5 or 6 years. Never had that problem before on the other ones. They've cheaped out on something in there.
