Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can improve their vans in order to secure their possessions. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and a van slam.
The Tibbe lock system uses rotating discs and a sidebar that prevent break-ins. Each disc is placed in accordance with the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely rugged and pick-resistant.
High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is prone to theft. Thieves have the ability to gain access to it using different methods. The thieves could pick or force the cylinder, and they can also attack the central locking system. A high-security lock can be protected from these attacks, reducing 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 simple to install, and doesn't require drilling. It's still the original mechanism configuration. It can be keyed to match any other lock and fitted with a Slamlock which means that the doors will automatically lock when closed, and are only unlocked with an access code.
Security locks with high-security can be an excellent addition to a van. They add an additional layer of protection against burglaries and theft. However, they can be expensive to install and complex to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They provide an additional layer of security that works in conjunction with the factory locks and are resistant to common break-in methods such as picking or bumping. Because of their robustness and complexity, they can also serve as an effective deterrent for criminals.
A deadlock operates by throwing an object into a receiving bracket fitted to the door's internal and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, thereby creating an additional locking point that is difficult for thieves. We offer a variety of deadlocks for the Ford Transit. These include hook locks and high-security versions that have an anti-drilling feature and a pick-cylinder. These are particularly designed for owners who require a level of flexibility when it comes to using their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular choice. This is perfect for tradespeople or couriers who do not lock their vehicles manually. The slamlock locks automatically and only open with the security code. This stops theft of goods or equipment. It also comes with a plastic escutcheon making it a strong visual deterrent for criminals.
In addition to the above, we also offer high-security transit driver door locks, which protect against the popular method of "peel and steal" attacks. Criminals use a crowbar open the door, and then apply pressure to peel off the skin of the door, granting them access to the load area of the vehicle. This high-security transit driver door lock is specifically designed to withstand this kind of attack. It can be used on both the rear and cab doors.
Van van
If you are a tradesman, courier, or other business that utilizes a van for their business, having the highest security for your vehicle is vital. You might lose your equipment and tools in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, which could be devastating to your business. This is the reason it's essential to look at the different kinds of locks and van security systems available to you to look at.
One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam lock, which automatically locks your van door as soon as it shuts. This is ideal for couriers or other tradesmen who must lock their van doors while they work in the back. It also decreases the chance of them forgetting to lock the doors of their van which could happen if they're busy or distracted.
Another kind of van security is a deadlock which is different from a locks that slam. This is because a burglar must physically unlock the deadlock by using keys or by turning the knob, instead of simply slamming it shut. This makes it difficult for thieves to steal quickly because they will have to put in the time and effort in order to accomplish this.
Another type of van security is an anti-peel system, which protects the lock from being damaged by a technique known as peeling. This technique involves using weight to open the side-load door. This can damage the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kit is an easy and effective way to protect your van against this type of attack.

Our team will be able to help you choose the most appropriate option for your requirements and we will provide and install them for you too.
