Hi All,

Just purchased an S2 Elise and was wondering whether there is a way of locking the car from the inside ? The reason I ask is I think it would be a little unsafe for my wife, especially at night.

If there is no way, does someone know of an aftermarket solution or any other method ?

All answers most appreciated!

Thanks.

Unlock the door, open it, lock it, get in, close it.

The door is now locked to anyone who tries to open it from outside, but you just pull the handle from the inside.

Be warned that once you start to get into this habit, it's easier to lock your keys in the car. But it's not hard to break in to recover them if you have an allen key and ear plugs handy!

Bonce - spot on

I never unlock the doors at all - locked myself out 2x so far ...1st time Andy Walsh had to break in for me (expert - 15 mins) ...2nd time luckily the GF was around with the spare keys !
