Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can upgrade their vans to safeguard their possessions. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and van slam.
The Tibbe lock uses rotating discs, a sidebar and an locking mechanism to stop intrusions. Each disc is positioned in accordance with the angled cuts in the key blade. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picking.
High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to attack from thieves who can use several methods to gain access. These include picking or forcing the cylinder or destroying the central locking system. A high-security lock can protect against these types of attacks, and reduce the possibility of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct driver's door lock replacement, is designed to resist these types of attacks. It's simple to install, and does not require drilling. This keeps the original mechanism setup. It can be keyed to match any other lock, and then fitted with a Slamlock to ensure that the doors will automatically lock when they are closed and will only be unlocked using a security code.
High-security locks are an excellent option for your vehicle, offering an additional layer of protection against break-ins and theft. However van security locks can be costly to install and difficult to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a sophisticated security device that greatly improves the security of a vehicle. They are an extra layer of protection that is used in conjunction with factory locks and are able to withstand typical methods of burglary, like picking or bumping. They also act as a visual deterrent and can prevent criminals from targeting your van in the first place, due to their complexity and strength.
A deadlock operates by throwing an object into a receiving bracket fitted to the door's internal and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key that creates another locking point that's more difficult for thieves to break. We offer a variety of deadlocks to fit the Ford Transit. These include hook locks as well as high-security models with an anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. These are great for owners who require flexibility when using their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular option. This is ideal for tradespeople and couriers who frequently forget to lock their vehicles manually. Once closed, the slamlock automatically locks and is only opened with a security key, preventing theft of goods or equipment. It is also adorned with a plastic escutcheon that acts as a visual deterrent for criminals.
In addition to the above, we also provide high-security locks for transit drivers' doors which guard against the well-known 'peel and steal' attack. Criminals use a crowbar to open the door and then apply pressure to peel away the skin of the door, granting them access to the vehicle's load area. This high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed for this kind of attack. It is available for both the rear and cab doors.
Van van
If you are a tradesman, courier or other business that utilizes a van for their business, ensuring the best security for your vehicle is crucial. You might lose your tools and equipment when they are taken from your vehicle, which could be devastating to your business. This is why it's important to look at the different types of locks and van security systems that are available for you to think about.
One of the most popular van security options is a slam lock that automatically locks your van's door as soon as it closes. This is perfect for couriers and other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors while they work in the back. It also reduces the chance of them forgetting to lock the doors of their van which could happen when they're busy or distracted.
Another type of van security is a deadlock that functions differently from the slam lock. This is because a burglar will need to physically unlock the deadlock using a key or by turning a knob, rather than just hitting it shut. This makes it difficult for thieves to steal fast because they will have to put in the time and effort to get the lock open.
A third kind of van security is an anti-peel kit that protects the lock's the cylinder from a technique referred to as peeling. This method involves leveraging weight against the side door to open it. This could cause damage to the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kit can be a simple and effective way to secure your van against this type of attack.
All of these options are available for you to select from and you can learn more about them by talking to an expert at All Locked Up Safe. Our team will be able to guide you to the most suitable option for your needs and we will supply and install the items for you. We can also install shielding on your van to protect the locking mechanisms inside and wiring looms.

It also acts as an attractive deterrent to thieves, so they may consider avoiding the vehicle.
A deadlock is a popular security option for vans. It functions independently of the locking mechanism. This can be fitted higher up in the door, thereby providing more security and providing an effective visual deterrent. It can also be combined with a hasp kit, which can add additional reinforcement to the door frame. It is an excellent option for those who transport expensive equipment frequently, since it shields the contents from theft.
Other security upgrades include a slams locks, that automatically locks the doors when closed, and is only opened by a specific key. This is particularly useful for couriers and delivery drivers who need to exit and enter their vans regularly throughout the day.

The latter is an extremely effective security measure that is designed to deter drill attacks and is easily installed on any ford vehicle. The hasp kit comes with various components that can be paired to create a reliable van security system. For example, a puck lock can be protected from twisting attacks using a spinner, which is a slip ring that prevents the lock from being twisted off.
