Van Security Locks = Extra Security for Vans
It’s true – attempted and successful van and commercial vehicle break-in are at an all-time high, especially in and around London.
So it’s no surprise that professionals depending on their van feel the need to invest in their vehicle’s security with additional locking mechanisms and other devices to protect side, rear and cabin doors.
Our professional security team can advise you on the best way of keeping your van as secure as possible, no matter which make and model, so call us today.
Our extra van security locks and mechanisms for vans include:
Van Security Deadlocks
The Deadlock is a mechanical deadlock operating independently from the manufacturers’ locking system. It is very similar to the Hook Lock however this lock engages a ‘straight bolt’ (20mm-50mm) into its opposing body section. Operated by its high-security external key under full control of the driver. Suitable for owner-drivers or applications where the driver can be relied upon to operate the lock. The Deadlock is recommended for use on the vehicles cab doors. We may suggest this as an alternative to an Hook Lock where necessary.
The Slamlock is primarily designed for couriers, multi-drop delivery drivers and any operations where a driver may be regularly in and out of a loading area throughout the day. The Slamlock safeguards against the driver forgetting to lock the doors. Once the door is shut it locks automatically and can only be opened using the Slamlock key, dramatically reducing the chances of theft.
Loom Guards protect the vulnerable areas of the vehicle where the wiring loom can be cut or tampered with to break into the vehicle which disables the central locking. Repairing the loom can be expensive and inconvenient for the van owner if the wire is cut.
Hook Locks
Hook locks are the next generation of van safety deadlocks. They operate in precisely the same manner as straight deadlocks, but a hook style bolt clip into a bracket, as opposed to a simple straight bolt, offering next-level safety. By tapping over into the bracket and in addition to sliding into, Hooklocks can offer a greater degree of security, making it harder to force open and potentially get access to your van. Hook locks installed by Car Keys Solutions are specially designed by L4V and tested to be the strongest on the market.

VAN SECURITY DEADLOCKS
Improving Security of Your Trade Vehicle and Its Contents
Whether you're a tradesperson, or an independent delivery driver or even the owner of a fleet of vans, now more than ever you need to make sure your van - or fleet - is thoroughly protected against cargo and vehicle theft, and here are some of the physical security devices we can install for you to help you do just that:
Hook Locks: These work in the same way as deadlocks, but instead of a straight bolt, a hook lock clips securely into the receiving bracket.
Van Security Deadlocks: The most common security upgrades for the majority of vans in the UK, deadlocks are made up of two parts - one being a bolt fitted to the van cabin door and the other being the receiving bracket fitted to the van's internal body.
Slam Locks: Specially for couriers and multi-drop drivers - once the van door is slammed shut it automatically locks and can only be opened using a dedicated key. One advantage of a slam lock is that it's completely disconnected to the vehicle's central locking system, so if one door fitted with a slam lock is open, all the other van doors remain securely locked.
Statement Locks: Mounted on the outside of vehicle doors, these are both effective visual deterrents and also independent deadlocks. If installed high up on a door, they offer more protection against thieves trying to bend the door down.
Loom Guards: These protect the vulnerable areas of the van where thieves can gain access to the wiring loom, which they can tamper with to disable the central locking system and break into the vehicle that way. Read More
Can You Afford to Have Inadequate Van Security Locks on Your Commercial Vehicle?
If you leave tools and equipment in your van overnight, it’s often a temptation too far for would-be thieves. Even if you’ve got one of those bumper stickers ‘no tools left in here overnight’, those thieves will still give it the benefit of the doubt and break in anyway. And with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles reporting that tool theft cost tradesmen around £550 a day in downtime alone for a VW key fob replacement, you can see that this is no laughing matter.
With high-quality van security locks, there’s no need for a bumper sticker. They’ll deter would-be thieves from breaking into your van and stealing your tools. Although, of course, we would never recommend that you leave anything in your van overnight.
Car Keys Solutions is the place to contact if you want a top-notch security system for your van. We can supply and fit the whole shooting match from alarms and immobilisers to high-quality security locks for vans and other commercial vehicles.
High-Quality Security Locks for Vans
We can install a range of high-quality van locks to protect your side, rear and cabin doors. In fact, we can make your van resemble Fort Knox!
Our range of locks for van security includes:
- Deadlocks– the bolt and bracket set-up will stop thieves dead in their tracks
- Hook locks – they work in the same way as deadlocks but have a hook instead of a straight bolt
- Slam locks – when the door slams shut, it locks automatically making it an excellent choice for couriers and multi-drop delivery drivers
- Statement locks – an effective visual deterrent as it's mounted on the outside of the vehicle
- Loom Guard – this protects the wiring loom and is perfect for vulnerable areas of the van
We can fit a combination of locks as well as van immobilisers and van alarm systems to give your vehicle optimum security and you the peace of mind you need that the contents of your van are safe.
Van Security Lock Replacement and Repair Service
Even with the most secure locks on your vehicle, would-be thieves may still be able to access your vehicle. Picture the scene: you let a driver go last week on bad terms. Are you sure they didn’t make a replacement key? Perhaps your original keys are missing?
Not to worry. We can replace existing door locks and ignition barrels with different ones so that your van remains safe. And, if you still have your original door locks, which can be easily picked, we can replace them with super high-security anti-pick cylinders. We have all vulnerable points covered.
Why Additional Security Deadlocks for Van Doors are Necessary
If you rely on your van for work, losing it or its contents can be a big problem. You'll have jobs you can't do, employees who can't work and customers who aren't happy. It's a situation you need to avoid and security deadlocks for your van will ensure you do this.
The chances of recovering a stolen van or its contents are slim and dealing with the police and insurance company is time-consuming and stressful. We can assess your van to identify its weak points and where break-ins are likely to occur, can advise you of the most common methods employed by thieves and can recommend the best ways to counter those methods.
Extra Vans Deadlocks for Extra Security
Fitting an additional deadlock for van doors will supplement existing locks and the van's alarm and immobiliser to provide an additional layer of protection. We can fit:
- slam locks that operate when the door is closed and are useful if you make short stops frequently, such as for courier deliveries
- van deadlocks that are locked manually and are difficult to force open, and may be surface mounted or have an additional locking point secured into the body of the vehicle.
It's also possible to install steel plates to shield locks and prevent thieves drilling around them. The aim is to present a visible and obvious deterrent that will make thieves more likely to avoid your van. Thieves generally go for easy targets so, the more difficult you can make it to break into your van, the more likely it is to remain safe and secure.
Deterring thieves from even attempting to break into your van will avoid damage and inconvenience. It will also keep your van and its contents safe so you can get on with your work without interruption.

VAN SECURITY DEADLOCKS RECOMMENDATIONS
