AS Symphony safe

Is there supposed to be a safe in the Symphony because I can't find it?

Hi Henryboxer.

In the boxer cab the secure box is a metal lockable plate that fits into the apperture under the passenger seat.

This is not always supplied as I think it may have been an extra.

Quite a few people will hang on to this metal plate when changing vans and transfer it to the new van as the seat arrangement in the boxer is usually the same.

If the front of your cab seats are open then you ain't got one. Unless you have a retrofit box somewhere.

I think the area under the passenger seat is the " safe " but I could be wrong......

Speak to A/Sleepers as you may be able to buy the 'front' plate that has the lock on it.

good idea

I got my plate from Wyvern Leisure some time ago, not sure if they're still trading.

Thanks for the advice. Saw the thread and have left a parts request on the Autosleepers web site. Will report back.

Received a response back from Autosleepers. Part not available. I will have to look out for a second hand one.

I may have a go at making one. All you should need is a hinged cover with a hasp for a padlock. I wonder if someone who already has the proper one could take a pic and post it ?

Hi Conal.

If you cannot get a SH one any small metal fabrication shop should be able to make you one. If you need a couple of pictures and a few measurements I would be happy to help.( after the weather has died down a bit)

Cheers. Whisky.

As I mentioned earlier I got mine from Wyvern Leisure (01935 410515), the website is inactive so they may have gone. It was sometime ago.

In the meantime I'm sure you can find a 'safe' place for your valuables!

Are these any use.

Simon is reparing my van in April, another job for him if he has time. He may even make a few if there is demand and the price is right!

In our Symphony (just over a year old) there's a locking drawer under the floor when you open the back doors.

Not exactly high security, an 8" screwdriver could probably force it open, the plate for the under seat storage doesn't look much better, the catch plate would soon come off, with little effort.

The major benefit is the fact that the 'naughty boys' don't know its there in the first place (I assume non are reading this...).

Hi Matchlessman.

When the plate is not fitted as you say it looks like it could be forced however when in situ the top of the plate and the catch is right up under the seat squab. That makes it very difficult if not virtually immpossible to inset something like a screwdriver or anything of great length to lever it open.

Did anyone manage to get / make a plate?  If you know of somewhere I could buy one or get one made I would be grateful. Many thanks.

One consideration is, do you want potential thieves looking at the base of the seat seeing a lock visible?  Another option is to just put a non-descript frontage there.  There have been instances, not sure where I've een this, of a fair old amount of damage done as thieves try to break the 'safe'.
