[Lonny]

How does one go about securing sliding store doors while cleaning with a truckmount?
Anyone?

What @Mark Saiger posted only works for PTO clutch drive units... I think @Lonny is asking how to secure the store's sliding door while cleaning with a TM... If so, I'd just turn off the automatic door and close it to where it meets your hoses... Maybe have precut 2x4's to put behind the sliding door track, if your worried about theft...

Turn off the switch to leave it open and have someone there to watch

Security is the stores problem, not yours. Otherwise, you charge the customer for hiring a security guard.

I run mine thru the passenger window, then roll it up at far as it can.

You should also know if you got the Butler way and run 2.5" you will need two of them. I have a butler and no one told me that when I was ordering it up so now I us the window.

Guess you haven't seen any of my videos... 2 port (pork) holes @hogjowl for my Butlers with 2.5 inch hose

Oh, and I do have pics of how to do another one pork hole mounted

Maybe you want to read the beginning of the thread. It's not the van door he's concerned about. It's the STORE DOOR.

Can put them in them too

I'd be quite frustrated about that.

I was disappointed... Butler know I was running 2.5" as I had it order from them like that and they did not say a word about it.

Depends on the door. If the sliding part is on the inside an adjustable security bar might work. If the slider is on the outside, those are usually made to break away (hinge out) when not locked into the frame, so there's little you can do beyond blocking the door with something too large to easily move. The last time one of our techs ran into this he dropped the hose from a second floor window and locked the door.

PS: When something is stolen from an office you're working in and you haven't secured the door, you'll be paying for the loss. Make sure your insurance will pay for you working with unsecured doors as well, as there's a good chance they'll deny coverage if you left the door unlocked. Don't ask how I found that out.

 

[Lonny]

As it turned out the customers were so glad to have a good job done, they couldn't have cared less about the front doors. I ended up getting a few cables and a lock, just in case, that would have worked on a second set of collapsible cage like doors, but no one said boo, so neither did I. Thanks all!

That's why you have to clarify from the outset, who is going to provide security. I work alone most of the time, so when I do jobs like that, I suggest that they have an employee stay behind to provide security. If they can't do that, I will provide someone but at a cost of $80-$100.00. That's usually when the mgr, says, "ok, I will stay behind" Otherwise, I use a long cable lock to secure the doors. Oz, is right, you can be held liable for anything missing.

My son Jason had a bar and chain with lock he used on some night work.

I've known several guys killed in robbery attempts

 

[KevinL]

man, you guys must live in some shitty areas.

 

[hogjowl]

Shitty can be found roaming any area.

 

[Lars]

Yeah maybe cut some sprinkler size PVC pipe to lay flat in the door track
