High-security locks are an excellent option for your van, providing an extra layer of protection against theft and break-ins. They can be costly to install, and also difficult to replace if keys are lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that significantly enhance the security of a car. They provide an additional layer of security that works with the factory locks. They are able to withstand common break-in methods such as picking or bumping. They also act as a visual deterrent and can deter criminals from targeting your vehicle in the first place due to their strength and complexity.
A deadlock is activated by placing the bolt into a bracket installed on the interior door and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key and creates another locking point that's harder for thieves to overcome. We offer a variety of deadlocks that are compatible with the Ford Transit. These include hook locks as well as high-security models with anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. These locks are ideally designed for owners who require some flexibility when using their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular option. This is a great option for couriers or tradespeople that do not lock their vehicles manually. When the slamlock is shut, it automatically locks and is only opened with an access key that is secure, which prevents the theft of equipment or goods. It's also fronted with a plastic escutcheon, which makes it a powerful visual deterrent to criminals.
In addition to the above, we also offer high-security locks for transit drivers' doors, which protect against the popular method of 'peel and steal' attack.

Van Slams
If you're a tradesman, courier or other business that uses a van for their business, having the best security for your vehicle is vital.

This is ideal for couriers and other tradesmen who need to lock their van doors while they are working at the back. It also reduces the risk of them forgetting to lock the van's doors, which can happen when they're distracted or busy.
Another form of van security is a deadlock which is different from the slam lock. The reason is that thieves will need to open the deadlock physically by using a key or by turning the knob. They can't just slam it shut. This makes it more difficult for thieves to steal quickly as they will need to put in the time and effort in order to do so.
Another type of van security is an anti-peel system, that protects the lock's the cylinder from a technique referred to as peeling. This technique involves using weight to open the side-load door. This can damage the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kits are a simple, yet effective way to guard against this kind of attack.
