High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is prone to attack from thieves who use a variety of methods to gain access. These include picking or forcing the cylinder or destroying the central locking system. A high-security lock will provide protection against these types of attacks and reduce the chance of theft. The Replock by TVL is an exact replacement for the driver's door lock designed to resist these types of attacks. It's easy to install and doesn't require drilling, which preserves the original mechanism setup. It can be made to match any other lock and fitted with the Slamlock to ensure that doors automatically lock when they are closed, and are only unlocked by a security code.
Security locks with high-security can be a great addition to a van. They offer an additional layer of protection against theft and break-ins. delivery driver security locks can be costly to install, and also difficult to replace if keys are lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that can significantly increase the security of a car. They provide an additional layer of security that is compatible with the factory locks. They are able to withstand common break in methods like picking or bumping. Due to their robustness and complexity, they could also act as an effective deterrent to criminals.
Deadlocks are activated by placing an anchor bolt in a bracket that is mounted on the inside of the door and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, creating another locking point that is difficult for thieves. We offer a range of various deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security models with an anti-drill and pick cylinder. The latter are especially suited to owner-drivers who need a level of flexibility in the use of their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular choice. This is ideal for couriers and tradespeople who often forget to lock their vehicles manually. Once shut, the slamlock locks automatically and can only be opened with an access key that is secure, which prevents theft of goods or equipment. It's also fronted with a plastic escutcheon, making it a strong visual deterrent to criminals.
We also offer high security doors for transit drivers which protect against the infamous "peel and steal" attack. Criminals will crowbar the door, and then apply pressure to peel the skin off, allowing them to gain access to the vehicle's cargo area. The high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed to stop this type of attack and is accessible for the cab doors as well as the rear door.
Van van
If you're a courier or tradesman who uses a van for your business and needs to be secure, having the best vehicle security is vital. If your tools and equipment get stolen, it can cause a significant impact on your livelihood. It's important that you consider the various types of van security systems available.
A slamlock is among the most popular van safety options. It locks the door of your van when you close it. This is ideal for couriers and other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors as they work at the back. This also reduces the chance that they'll not lock the van door and this can occur if they are busy or distracted.
Another form of van security is a deadlock which works differently to the slam lock. The reason for this is that a burglar will need to physically unlock the deadlock by using a key or by turning a knob, rather than just closing it. This means that thieves are more likely to be unable to be able to pull off the theft in a hurry, as they'll need to put in the time and effort to accomplish this.
Another type of van security is an anti-peel system, which shields the lock from being damaged by a technique known as 'peeling'. This technique involves leveraging weight against the side load door to allow it to open. This can cause damage to the door and also allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are simple, yet effective way to protect against this type attack.
All Locked Up Safe has experts who can tell you more about these options. Our team will be able to advise you on the most appropriate option for your requirements and we can also supply and install the items for you. We can also install shielding on your van to guard the locking mechanisms within and wiring looms.
