https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/van-security/ Choosing the Right Security Lock For Your Van A secure lock can deter thieves and help protect your cargo. Some locks can be installed by the homeowner, whereas others require professional assistance to ensure they are properly installed and offer maximum security. Slam locks are perfect for couriers who have multiple deliveries. They lock automatically when the door is shut. Deadlocks are designed to work with your brand's lock and add an additional layer of security. Deadlocks Van dead locks offer an additional security measure to stop criminals. These locks are specially designed for aftermarket use. They protrude into the van's door and attach to the frame, meaning they can't be opened unless keys are used. They're particularly effective at protecting vans that have been parked overnight or carrying expensive equipment. They're ideal for tradespeople who prefer the remote locking system of the factory during the day but would like to add an extra layer of security overnight, or when they feel their vehicle is in a hazard area. When controlled by a key the bolt is thrown into a receiver attached to the opposite body part of the vehicle. This adds an additional layer of security over the locks that are factory installed. These locks are not automatic locks like the Slam Locks or Hook Locks that we also sell online. They require manual operated by the driver using the key provided. A straight bar lock can be used on the rear of doors as well as twin sliding doors, whilst hook locks are suitable for the front or rear doors of small to medium-sized vans. Both are designed to prevent a thief from attempting to break into the lock and forcing it open and give them access to the van's cab or load space. These locks are custom-made for each van model and placed to provide extra protection against specific attack techniques. The impact of van theft can be significant, particularly for professionals like tradesmen and contractors w
