Locking T6.1 and switching alarm sensors off

[Alexryc]

Hi All

When I hit lock on my keys, I try the doors etc (including side doors) and it’s locked so I have peace of mind before bed.

I’ve done this a few times and it’s worked well.

This time, I did it… and a few minutes later the alarm went off (embarrassingly enough waking people up on site)

What does everybody do?

Use the central locking button on the driver's door...

Thank you Bav.

When I clicked that, it allowed us to open the doors from the outside… is that correct? They couldn’t open from the out, but you can from inside?

It should lock all doors from the perspective of anyone on the outside, but still allow those on the inside to exit the van... plus it doesn't set the alarm.

Thanks very much!

I had same problem on my T6.1 California and now found out you lock doors inside on the driver side Door.

Is this behaviour the same in a T6? We're yet to sleep in The Party Box (kids chose the name!)

Or you could do this..

T6.1 Lock button for sleeping / leaving dogs inside / windows open How-To Guide

I need a button in the rear of the van to lock the doors, without arming the alarm, as many seem to have fitted on the T6. Credit to @Willoughby for figuring this out on the T6 here; https://www.t6forum.com/threads/locking-doors-from-the-back-of-the-van-stop-me-before-i-do-something-silly.3939/...

Less technically-able folks (like me) can use one of these to reach the aforementioned button from the back of the van...
