hook locks

The Hook Lock is a mechanical deadlock operating independently from the manufacturers’ locking system. A deadlocking hook bolt engages 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. We recommend our Hook Lock is fitted to both the side and rear door.
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.
Ford replacement locks
We often find that Ford driver door locks are easily overcome by picking or forcing the cylinder. The Replacement Lock for Ford is a high-security replacement barrel and bezel that has been designed to reduce the risk of these types of attack.
slamlock

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, reducing the chances of theft.

faq's

How much does a Van Lock Cost?

The average price to fit and install a van door lock we expect to cost around £165.00 per van door. The price to fit more locks could be cheaper as the locksmiths labour costs should be reduced due to time spent on site.

What’s Best Van Lock to fit to a Sliding Door?

The best lock to fit to the side loading van door depends on the make and model of the van. A hook bolt deadlock fitted alongside plates to protect the internal factory latch is a secure option.

What’s the Best Van Lock for a Rear Door?

The best lock for the rear barn door of a van is fitting either a hook bolt deadlock or an Armourshell lock.

Can I Fit a Van Lock Myself?

We would recommend any installation of a van lock is done by a professional and qualified engineer, incorrect fitting of any van lock could leave your van at risk of theft.

What is the Most Secure Van Lock?

The best way to protect your van is by fitting a hook lock on a sliding door and a slamlock/deadlock on rear doors.

The most secure van lock for driver side & passenger side doors on a van is fitting either a slamlock or deadlock.

What is the difference between a Van Slamlock and Deadlock?

The main difference is a Van slamlock automatically locks when shutting the door, there is no need for a key to lock the door. Whereas a deadlock requires a key to lock and unlock the door once shut.

Where each lock is fitted is different – a van slamlock can be main fitted to a van side door + rear door, whereas deadlocks are commonly used on side doors.

Are Van Deadlocks any Good?

Van deadlocks are a good visual deterrent and offer some level of security against opportunist thief. However, fitting a hook bolt deadlock offers a much higher level of security against an attack.

Are Van Slamlocks Secure?

Yes, a Van Slamlock is secure as it locks behind you, this is why couriers and delivery drivers have slam locks fitted to the rear door, there is no need to use a key each time the van door is shut with a slamlock.

 How Can I Stop Van Door Peeling?

To protect your van from ‘peel and steal’ we recommend fitting an anti peel kit, this is fitted to the vans side loading door.

You can also fit a van hook look that will prevent the door from being peeled open.

The best van security combination to prevent van door peeling is fitting an anti peel kit AND a van hook look.

Can adding Van Security Locks reduce my Insurance?

Every insurance provider will have a different policy on vehicle security and additional locks.

We recommend speaking to your insurer and make them aware of additional van security locks you have installed or plan to fit.
