What van security devices can I get?
Van locking systems are specialist pieces of equipment. In recent years, van security has improved significantly.
Some security devices you may want to consider for your van include:
Van deadlocks
Van slamlocks
Van sliding door locks
Lock protection plates
Roof racks and roof bars
Van alarm systems
All these devices can help you to relax; knowing that your van is protected from any attempts at forced entry.
Not sure which is right for your van? An experienced van lock fitter near you will be able to recommend the best security devices for your needs.
What are the different types of van security locks?
The two main types of van security locks are van slamlocks and key-activated locks.
Van slamlocks work in the same way as a night latch or Yale lock on a front door. When the van door is slammed shut, the lock automatically activates to ensure that you never forget to lock your van door.
Key-operated locks, on the other hand, need to be manually activated to engage the van door locking system.
What type of lock is best for a sliding van door?
For most sliding van doors, a hook bolt deadlock installed with security plates is the most secure way to protect the internal factory latch.
However, the answer to this question will depend on the make and model of your van. A trusted vehicle locksmith or van security specialist will be able to help you find the right solution for yours.
What is the most secure van lock for a van’s rear door?
The best lock to fit onto a van’s rear door is a slamlock. This is also true for side driver and passenger doors.
The only thing to remember with a van slamlock is to never leave your keys inside the van. Once the door has been shut, it will automatically lock, leaving your keys trapped inside.
Can I buy a van lock and fit it myself?
The simple answer is no. Fitting a van lock should always be done by a skilled and qualified professional.
If you attempt to fit a van lock yourself and it is not properly fitted, you may compromise your van’s security and put your belongings at risk of theft.
You may also invalidate your van insurance by poorly fitting a van lock yourself.
Are van locks worth it?
Absolutely! Your van is one of your most important possessions - especially if you use it for work.
In particular, if you're a tradesperson, your van is what gets you from job to job. And it's what carries your tools and equipment.
With that in mind, investing in van locks is worth it. Together with other security measures, they help to prevent your van from being stolen or broken into, helping to keep your van safe.
