Van Hook Deadlocks Van hook deadlocks function independently of the vehicle's factory lock system. They come with a hook bolt that latches into the receiving bracket, making it more difficult to break into your vehicle. They are particularly useful in preventing "Peel and Steal" crimes. They also prevent criminals removing your catalytic convertor which converts harmful pollutants into safer gasses. Hook Locks Van hook deadlocks operate independently of the manufacturer lock and can be operated using keys to provide an additional layer of security. These deadlocks are ideal for those who trade, and may be content with their factory lock during working day but require extra protection at night. They are fitted to the door and connect panel and come with a hook style bolt that connects to an open receiver on the opposite side of the vehicle. They can be fitted to a range of manufacturers and models including the Ford Transit, Citroen Berlingo, VW Transporter, Vauxhall Movano, Fiat Scudo, and the Man TGE van. Apart from protecting criminals from "Peel and Steal" crimes, they also provide the most effective defense against Crowbar attacks and are equipped with shielding parts to safeguard wiring looms and door latches. They're a great upgrade over a regular deadlock and can be a real security measure against crime as well in keeping your belongings and tools safe. As with all locks they will require some care to keep them in good operating condition. You should make use of a PTFE based lubricant spray to clean the lock and lubricate both the hook and bolt regularly. WD40 can cause corrosion, so it's not a great choice. A quality van is an important investment, and you don't want to expose it to theft. There are a variety of ways to enhance the level of security in your vehicle, from installing an alarm system to installing deadlocks. A deadlock is a good option because it will add an additional layer of security to your vehicle, and it is not difficult to install. Howev
