Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that greatly improves the security of a car. They add an extra layer of security that works in conjunction with factory locks and are able to withstand typical methods of burglary, like bumping or picking. They also function as a visual deterrent. They can prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle in the first place due to their strength and complexity.
A deadlock is activated by placing a bolt in an attached bracket on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key that creates an additional locking point that is more difficult for thieves to break. We offer a variety of deadlocks to fit the Ford Transit. These include hook locks and high-security versions with anti-drilling and pick-cylinder.

Van slams

You may lose your tools and equipment if they are stolen from your vehicle, and this could cause a major disruption to your business. This is why it's important to consider the various kinds of locks and van security systems available for you to think about.

It's not as simple as slamming it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to be able to pull off a quick theft, as they'll have to take the time and effort do so.
A third kind of van security is an anti-peel kit which protects the lock the cylinder from a technique referred to as 'peeling'. This technique involves using weight to open the side-load door. This can cause damage to the door and allow thieves to access your toolboxes and other valuable items.
