Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can safeguard their belongings by utilizing a variety of security upgrades. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and van slams.
The Tibbe lock system uses rotating discs and a sidebar that prevent break-ins. Each disc is placed according to the angles cut on the key blade. This system is extremely rugged and pick-resistant.
High-security locks
The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to attack by thieves who may employ a variety of methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder, and they can also attack the central locking system. A high-security lock will provide protection against these types of attacks and decrease the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock designed to withstand these types of attacks. It's simple to install and requires no drilling, which preserves the original mechanism configuration. It can be keyed to match any other lock and paired with the Slamlock to ensure that the doors will automatically lock when they are closed and can only be unlocked using the security code.
High-security locks are a great addition to a van. They offer an additional layer of security against theft and break-ins. They can be expensive to install, and difficult to replace if keys are lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a high-tech security device that significantly enhance the security of vehicles. They are an extra layer of security that is used in conjunction with factory locks and are able to withstand common methods of breaking-in, such as picking or bumping. They also function as a visual deterrent, and can help prevent criminals from pursuing your vehicle in the first place, due to their complexity and strength.
Deadlocks are activated by putting the bolt into a bracket that is mounted on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, which creates an additional locking point that is harder for thieves. We offer a variety of deadlocks for the Ford Transit. These include hook locks as well as high-security models with anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. These are particularly suited to owner-drivers who need some flexibility when it comes to using their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular option. It 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 an access key that is secure, which prevents theft of goods or equipment. It is also adorned with an escutcheon made of plastic that serves as a visual deterrent for criminals.
We also offer high security transit drivers door locks that protect against the popular "peel and steal" attack. Criminals use a crowbar open the door, and then apply pressure to peel down the skin of the door, 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 rear and cab doors.
Van Slams
If you are a tradesman, courier or any other type of business that relies on a van to conduct their business, having the best security for your vehicle is vital. If your tools and equipment get stolen, it could have a major impact on your business. It is crucial to think about the various types of van security systems available.
A slamlock is among the most sought-after van security options. It locks the door of your van after you shut it. This is ideal for couriers or other tradesmen that need to secure their van doors when they work in the back. It also decreases the chance of them omitting to lock their van doors, which can happen when they're busy or distracted.
A deadlock is another type of van security that works differently than a lock that slams. The reason for this is that a burglar will have to physically unlock the deadlock with a key or by turning a knob, rather than simply slamming it shut. This will make it harder for thieves to steal fast because they will have spend time and effort in order to accomplish this.
A third type of van security is an anti-peel system, which protects the lock cylinder from a method known as 'peeling'. This technique involves using weight against the side door to open it. This could cause damage to the door and allow thieves to access your toolboxes and other important items. The anti-peel kits are a simple, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.

Our team will be able to guide you to the most suitable option for your needs, and we can supply and fit them for you as well. We can also add shielding to your van, which will help secure the locking mechanism and wiring looms from damage.
