Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

I've only found 1 company in the UK that seems to do them and they seem fairly cheap (£240+vat for a 4 door kit).

There is an override key that you can position somewhere handy - he said like a glovebox but I think you'd be better off somewhere accessible from outside - maybe in a waterproof junction box as it's no good if the doors are locked and your outside!

You'd also have to run spare jump cables to your starter battery just incase you lost power so that you could jump from there to be able to unlock the deadlocks.

To be fair this isn't a bad shout in a Citroen Relay anyway as the bloody bonnet catch is blocked by the passenger door when shut.

I guess I'm a little sceptical that bigger companies aren't doing them - it feels like a 1 man band type affair and his website doesnt even work...

Should I just go for the traditional deadbolt with keys and put up with the hassle of locking 4 doors manually?
