I have a 2014 144" cargo Sprinter with the factory partition (no pass-thru door) so the only way into the cargo area is via the rear door and side sliding door. I am going to install "puck" style locks on both of those doors, effectively locking the cargo compartment.
I have had tools and material stolen by mechanics and parking attendants in the past so security is very important to me. My question is if there is any normal routine maintenance or other type of mechanical work that would require the technician/mechanic to get into the cargo area?
I didn't see anything, but I am unsure of what is under the factory floor. I've seen fuel pump access under the floor in some vehicles, for example. That would be absolutely horrible because the shelving would have to be removed in order to lift the floor up.
So my question is if I can lock the entire back cargo area when I take the van to the mechanic?
