High-security locks
The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to attack by thieves who can use several methods to gain access. The thieves are able to pick or force the cylinder and they can also attack the central locking system.

This keeps the original mechanism configuration. It can be made to match any other lock and fitted with an Slamlock which means that doors automatically lock when closed, and are only unlocked by an access code.
High-security locks can be an excellent addition to your van. They add an additional layer of protection against burglaries and theft. However they can be expensive to install and difficult to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a modern security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They provide an additional layer of protection that is used in conjunction with factory locks and are invulnerable to common methods of breaking-in, such as picking or bumping. They also serve as a visual deterrent, and can deter criminals from targeting your van in the first place, because of their strength and complexity.
A deadlock operates by throwing the bolt into a receiving bracket fitted to the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key, thereby creating another locking point that is harder for thieves. We offer a variety of deadlocks to fit the Ford Transit. These include hook locks and high-security versions that have an anti-drilling feature and a pick-cylinder. They are perfect for drivers who are owner-operators who require flexibility when using their vehicle for work.
Another option that is popular is the L4V Slamlock. This is a great option for tradespeople and couriers who forget to lock their vehicle manually. Once closed, the slamlock automatically locks and can only be opened with an access key that is secure, which prevents the theft of equipment or goods. It's also adorned with a plastic escutcheon making it a strong visual deterrent to criminals.
We also provide high-security door locks for transit drivers that guard against the well-known "peel and steal" attack. This is when criminals crowbar open the door, and then apply pressure to peel off the door skin, granting them access to the vehicle's load area. This high-security driver's door lock for transit is specifically designed to withstand this kind of attack. It is suitable for both the rear and cab doors.
Van slams
If you're a courier or other tradesperson who requires a van for your business and needs to be secure, having the best vehicle security is vital. You could lose your tools and equipment in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, and this could have a huge impact on your business. It is important to consider the different types and van security systems available.
One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam locking device, which locks your van's door once it closes. This is perfect for tradesmen and couriers who must keep their van doors locked while working in the back. This also reduces the possibility that they will not lock their van door which could occur if they are busy or distracted.
A deadlock is another type of van security that operates differently than the lock that slams. This is because a thief must physically unlock the deadlock with a key or by turning a knob instead of just slamming it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to be able to pull off a quick theft, as they'll need to invest the time and effort to accomplish this.
A third type of van security is an anti-peel system, which protects the lock from being damaged by a technique known as 'peeling'. This method involves leveraging weight against the side load door to open it. This could cause damage to the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are easy, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.
