Van Security Locks
Van security locks not only assist in preventing theft, but also save you money on your insurance premiums.
Slam locks are designed to fit onto van doors and lock it automatically when closed. They are a great choice for drivers who deliver same-day or those who make multiple deliveries. Statement locks are more prominent and stop entry by bending the door back. They are fixed to the outside of the door.
Deadlocks
Dead locks provide a secure layer of security for vans. They are independent of the manufacturer’s lock and cannot be unlocked by the inside. They also require a key to function. This is a further security measure against thieves who want to gain entry into the van.
They can be combined with other security measures, such as a GPS tracker or parking your van in secure/public areas and removing tools and other valuables from the vehicle during the night or when it is not in use. They are suited to people who have to access their van often or carry lots of expensive equipment in the vehicle, and who may not be in a position to store it in their home for longer periods.
A deadlock is a lock that makes use of only one bolt to lock the door. It is a slam lock that offers have fewer security features. The lock cylinder is only operable with an outside key and the bolt can’t be removed even when the key has been inserted.
There are two kinds of deadlocks, straight and hook. The straight lock bolts onto an existing receiver that is fitted to the body section of the van. It is operated by a key, while the hook is secured by an iron bar. Both are extremely difficult to break and provide an extra layer of security to your vehicle.
It is recommended to employ an expert who has experience in fitting these locks onto vans as they do take a little more knowledge to fit than the slam locks. A professional can make sure the lock is installed properly, with the right tolerances and will treat any damaged metal surfaces to avoid corrosion. A skilled professional could install two van deadlocks within an hour.
After you have your deadlocks installed, it is important to keep them regularly lubricated to help prevent dirt and grime from building up inside the lock mechanism. It is recommended to make use of a PTFE spray (not WD40) to grease the hook or bolt because it won’t damage the paintwork on your vehicle.
Slam Locks
A slamlock can be a great solution for van security when you’re not able to lock your commercial vehicle manually. These locks lock the doors to your loading area when they close. They are primarily used for drivers with multiple drop points who tend to operate on autopilot and forget to shut their vehicles doors before leaving them. They open their vehicles to thieves waiting in fuel stations and other public places.
A slam lock disables the original factory fitted van door handle although it stays in place, and replaces it with a surface-mounted lock that can only be opened with a slam lock key. The new lock will only unlock the doors you intend to open. This is unlike the central locking system which will reopen all the doors including those in the load area, which leaves unattended areas susceptible to theft.
In addition to offering fail-safe, reliable locking of your van a slam lock is also an effective visual deterrent to potential criminals. It is crucial to think about this when deciding which type of van lock you’d like installed on your commercial vehicle.
Another option is to purchase a deadlock installed on your van. They provide a little more security than slam locks but are more accessible from inside the vehicle, especially if you’re in it for long periods of time.
These locks operate similarly to slamlocks and use a hook-bolt that engages with the opposite side of the body section of the vehicle. They are operated manually by the driver and like locks, slam locks are only opened by using the key that is under the full control of the owner.
