Hello,
     I recall possibly seeing this addressed in the forum but cannot find it, not sure what to search for so I'll ask. We recently realized that a joker may find fun in closing the grab handle across our entry door with us inside, I don't like that idea much. Any known mods to prevent the grab handle from blocking the door? I could remove the handle but really like having it there. I'll have a closer look when time permits and see what I can figure out. Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

Having owned a pod since 2009, I have never thought of that. Please post an update when you find more info.

If someone were really evil, they could anchor the bar to another point on the R-Pod with a rope or chain.

I suppose that is true, but also seriously doubt it has ever happened. And if it does, go out the window.

Furpods video is the best, thanks Mark.  When I first heard about this we had a neighbor try his best to lock us in, even using a rope to tie the handle to the front of the pod.  Easy fix (at least on our 177) open the window and screen by the door, reach out and either untie or take a knife and cut the rope.  As Mark and Doug have both said, can't be done.
