Van Security

Why Do I Need Van Security?

In 2017, van and tool theft surged by two-thirds, amounting to approximately 62 thefts each day.

A van is broken into, and a tool is stolen every 23 minutes, making it increasingly critical to secure your van and tools.

With the average tool theft claim costing £1,692, falling victim can be incredibly costly. Investing in van security not only protects your valuable assets but also provides peace of mind, ensuring your livelihood isn't disrupted by theft.

Hook Locks for Vans

Hook Locks represent the latest advancement in van security deadlocks. While they operate similarly to traditional deadlocks, they use a hook-style bolt that latches into a receiving bracket, providing superior security compared to standard bolts.

By hooking over and locking into place, Hooklocks offer enhanced protection, making it significantly more difficult to force open and access your vehicle.

Our Hook Locks have been rigorously designed and tested to ensure they are the strongest available on the market. They have successfully withstood a pull test of 500GK (5.0KN) without failing, showcasing their reliability and strength.

Features:

  • Enhanced Security: Provides an extra level of protection for your vehicle.
  • High Anti-Pull Rating: Proven to withstand significant pulling force.
  • Tailored Door Kits: Specifically designed for various van doors.
  • Durable Construction: Made from top-grade 304 stainless steel with a black powder-coated finish.
  • Advanced Key System: Comes with a high-security dimple key.
  • Uniform Keying: All locks for the van are keyed alike for convenience.
  • Wide Compatibility: Available for nearly every van and door model in the UK.

Slamlock

Following Deadlocks, Van Slamlocks are the next most popular additional security feature for vans. We offer a wide range of Slamlocks suitable for nearly all van makes and models available in the UK.

Slamlocks automatically lock the van door when it is shut, eliminating the need for manual locking. This automatic function is ideal for:

  • Multi-drop delivery drivers
  • Drivers transporting high-value goods where locking is essential every time
  • Owner-drivers who may forget to lock the van or want the assurance that it locks automatically

Van Slamlocks work by deactivating the van’s factory-fitted door handle and installing an additional surface-mounted lock on the van door. To open the door, you use the key, which now serves as the door handle. Upon closing the door, the Slamlock engages automatically, so be careful not to leave your keys inside the van!

Slamlocks allow for independent unlocking of doors. For example, unlocking the side door with the key will not unlock the rear door, preventing opportunist thieves from gaining easy access.

Features:

  • Vehicle-Specific Kits: Tailored for specific van models and doors.
  • Independent Door Unlocking: Allows selective access to different doors.
  • Ideal for Multi-Drop Deliveries: Perfect for drivers with frequent stops.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality 304 stainless steel.
  • Advanced Key System: Includes a high-security dimple key, which is stronger and more resistant to lock picking. Made from solid nickel with a large, easy-to-grip bow for convenience.

Slamlocks are bespoke to your van, with all necessary fittings and, if needed, additional replacement cables provided.

Ford Replacement Driver's Door Lock

Enhance the security of your Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit with our high-security replacement locks. These locks are a direct, high-security upgrade for the standard driver door locks on both the Ford Transit Custom and the Ford Transit Mk8.

Why Upgrade?

The standard locks on the Ford Transit and Transit Custom are notoriously vulnerable to attacks. They can be easily picked or manipulated using the "grip and spin" method, allowing thieves quick access to the cab and, consequently, the load area of the vehicle. Our Ford Replacement Locks provide robust protection against these common attack methods.

Key Features:

  • Direct Replacement: No additional drilling required; fits seamlessly into the existing lock space.
  • High-Security Design: Anti-drill and anti-pick features prevent tampering.
  • Grip and Spin Protection: Specifically designed to thwart the "grip and spin" attack.
  • Tailored Fit: Designed for the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit Mk8.
  • Theft Deterrent: Acts as a strong visual and functional deterrent against theft.
  • Uniform Keying: Can be keyed alike with other Van Guard locks on the vehicle, allowing you to use a single key for all locks.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel for long-lasting security.

This effective security upgrade is essential for all Ford Transit and Custom owners. To further secure your vehicle against theft, consider additional security products such as Deadlocks, Hooklocks, Slamlocks, and Loom Guards.

Van Deadlocks

Deadlocks are a highly popular and widely adopted security upgrade for vans, available for almost every van model and door type in the UK market. We offer an extensive range of van deadlocks suitable for virtually all makes and models available in the UK.

Deadlocks provide an essential additional layer of security for your van. They are installed on the van door and connecting body panel, where the bolt locks into a receiving bracket on the van’s internal bodywork, operated by an external key. This creates an extra secure locking point, strategically placed to guard against van-specific break-in attempts.

Our aftermarket deadlocks not only enhance security but also serve as a visual deterrent with the visible cylinder, which is fronted by a high-quality, UV-treated black plastic escutcheon.

Features:

  • Silver Sold Secure Status: Recognized for high security standards.
  • Vehicle-Specific Kits: Tailored for specific van models and doors.
  • Durable Construction: Made from top-grade 304 stainless steel.
  • Advanced Key System: Includes a high-security dimple key.
  • Uniform Keying: All locks for the van are keyed alike for convenience.
  • Wide Compatibility: Available for nearly every van and door model in the UK.
