Caravan locking problem

Hi

I picked up a caravan a couple of weeks ago with the intention of using it for camping holidays for my family. Needs a few small jobs done to it but nothing out of my skill set. Was working on the interior yesterday when I realised.......... How do you lock the door from the inside??? No barrel or switch present on lock on inside. It's hardly a matter of reaching arm out of window to lock from outside is it??

Thanks

Darren

Usually you just lift up the door handle.

Just push the door handle upwards and it should have the same affectedâ€‹ as locking. The doors aren't very secure so don't leave any unattended valuables

That's what I had thought but doesent seem to work. Maybe it needs a new lock

Is there a button?

No just a handle on interior

Post a picture of the handle and we will let you know if it is standard.
