Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom

Van owners can upgrade their vans to protect their belongings. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and van slam.

The Tibbe lock uses rotating discs, a sidebar and a locking mechanism to prevent intrusions. Each disc is positioned according to the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picking.

High-security locks

The standard driver's door lock on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is vulnerable to theft. Thieves are able to gain access by various methods. This includes picking or bending the cylinder or destroying the central locking system. A security lock with a high level of security can provide security against these attacks and reduce the chance of theft. The Replock by TVL is an exact replacement for the driver's door lock designed to withstand these types of attacks. It's easy to install and does not require drilling. This keeps the original mechanism configuration. It can be made to match any other lock and fitted with an Slamlock, so that the doors will automatically lock when closed and will only be unlocked by an access code.

High-security locks are an excellent option for your van, providing an extra layer of protection against theft and break-ins. However they can be expensive to install and complex to replace if you lose the key.

Deadlocks

Deadlocks are an advanced security device that enhances the security of your vehicle. They are an extra layer of security that works in conjunction with the factory locks and are invulnerable to typical methods of burglary, like bumping or picking. They also act as a visual deterrent. They can prevent criminals from targeting your van in the first place, because of their complexity and strength.

A deadlock works by putting a bolt into a receiving bracket fitted to the door's internal and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key, creating a second locking point which is difficult for thieves. We offer a variety of deadlocks that are compatible with the Ford Transit. These include hook locks as well as high-security models that have an anti-drilling feature and a pick-cylinder. These locks are ideally designed for owners who require a level of flexibility when using their vehicle for work.

The L4V Slamlock is another option that is popular. This is ideal for couriers and tradespeople who are often unable to lock their vehicles manually. Once shut, the slamlock automatically locks and can only be opened with a security key, preventing the theft of equipment or items. It is also adorned with a plastic escutcheon that acts as a visual deterrent to criminals.

In addition to the above, we also provide high-security locks for transit drivers' doors, which protect against the well-known "peel and steal" attacks. Criminals use a crowbar to open the door, and then apply pressure to peel away the door skin, granting them access to the load area of the vehicle. The high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed to prevent this kind of attack. It is available for cab doors as well as the rear door.

Van van

If you're a courier or other tradesman who uses a van for your business and needs to be secure, having the best vehicle security is vital. You may lose your equipment and tools if they are stolen from your vehicle, which could cause a major disruption to your livelihood. It's important that you consider the various types of van security systems available.

One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam locking device, which automatically locks your van's door as soon as it shuts. This is perfect for couriers or other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors while they are working at the back. This also decreases the likelihood that they'll overlook locking their van door which could occur when they are busy or distracted.

A deadlock is a different kind of van security that operates differently than a lock that slams. The reason is that a thief would have to open the deadlock physically by using a key or by turning the knob. They aren't able to simply slam it shut. This means that thieves are much less likely to be able to pull off a quick theft, as they'll need to put in the time and effort to complete the process.

Anti-peel kits are a third type of van security. They protect the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This technique involves using weight against the side door to open it. This can damage the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes, or other valuable items. The anti-peel kit is a simple and effective way to secure your vehicle from this kind of attack.

All of these options are available for you to pick from, and you can find out more details about them by speaking to an expert at All Locked Up Safe. Our team will advise you on the best option for your requirements and we can also install and supply the locks for you. We can also install shielding to your van to safeguard the locking mechanism inside and wiring looms from damage.

Driver's door locks

The standard driver's lock on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is vulnerable to numerous attacks that could permit thieves to gain access to the vehicle. Upgrading to a high-security door lock is an excellent method to limit the risk of being a target. This upgrade replaces the lock used at the factory and does not require any drilling or modification. It is anti-picking and anti-spining properties that make it harder for criminals.

The patented Replock by TVL is a high-security driver's door lock which offers greater strength and resistance to forced rotational attacks. The patented design features the body of stainless steel that is welded, which can be keyed to match other locks on the vehicle. The lock also serves as a visual deterrent, so thieves may consider a second thought before attacking the vehicle.

Another option for van security is a deadlock that works independently from the locking mechanism of the manufacturer. This can be installed higher in the door to provide additional security. It also acts as an effective visual deterrent. It can also be combined with a hasp kit which provides additional strength to the door frame. It's a great choice for tradespeople who often transport expensive equipment, since it will protect the contents from theft.

Other security enhancements include a slams lock, that automatically locks the doors when shut and can only be opened with a special key. This is especially useful for couriers and delivery drivers who frequently exit and enter their vans at all times of the day, since it prevents them from forgetting to lock the doors manually.

A hasp kit as well as an anti-drilling lock are also accessories that can help secure Ford Transit. The anti-drill lock can be described as a highly effective security measure that is designed to ward off drill attacks. It can be easily installed on any Ford vehicle. The hasp kit comes with several components that can be combined to here create a reliable van security system. For instance the puck lock can be secured from twisting attacks using a spinner, which is a slip ring that prevents the lock from being twisted off.
