Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can safeguard their belongings with a range of security enhancements. These include deadlocks, high-security locks and a van slam.
The Tibbe lock uses rotating discs, a sidebar and the locking mechanism to ward off intrusions. Each disc is placed in accordance with the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely robust and pick resistant.
High-security locks
The standard lock for the door of the driver on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is susceptible to theft. Thieves have the ability to gain access to it by different methods. This includes forcing or picking the cylinder, and aiming at 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, a direct driver's-door lock replacement, is designed to resist these types of attacks. It's simple to install and doesn't require drilling. It's still the original mechanism setup. It can also be keyed to match other locks and can be equipped with a Slamlock so that the doors lock automatically every time they close and are only opened with an access key for security.
High-security locks are an excellent addition to your van. They add an additional layer of security against theft and break-ins. However, they can be expensive to install and complex to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a modern security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They add an extra layer of security that works with the factory locks. They are resistant to the usual breaking methods such as bumping or picking. They also function as a visual deterrent and can deter criminals from targeting your van in the first place due to their strength and complexity.
Deadlocks are activated by placing a bolt in an attached bracket on the inside of the door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key and creates an additional locking point that is more difficult for thieves to get around. We have a variety of different deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security versions that have an anti-drill feature and pick cylinder. They are perfect for drivers who are owner-operators who need to be able to change their locks in their use of their vehicle for work.
Another option that is popular is the L4V Slamlock. It is ideal for tradespeople or couriers who forget to lock their vehicle manually. The slamlock locks automatically and can only open with the security code. This helps prevent theft of goods or equipment. It also comes with a plastic escutcheon creating a formidable visual deterrent to criminals.
We also offer high security door locks for transit drivers that guard against the well-known "peel and steal" attack. Criminals will crowbar the door and apply pressure to peel the skin off and gain access to the cargo area of the vehicle. The high-security transit driver's door lock has been specifically designed to stop this kind of attack. It is accessible for the cab doors as well as the rear door.
van security lock
If you're a courier or tradesperson who requires a van for your business and needs to be secure, having the best vehicle security is essential. You may lose your tools and equipment in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, and this could have a huge impact on your livelihood. It is important to consider the various types of van security systems that are available.
A slamlock is one the most popular van safety options. It locks the door of your van when you shut it. This is ideal for tradesmen and couriers who need to keep their van doors secure while working in the back. It also decreases the chance of them not locking the doors of their van which could happen when they're distracted or busy.
A deadlock is a different kind of van security that functions differently than the Slamlock. This is because a thief will have to physically unlock the deadlock with keys or by turning the knob, instead of just closing it. This will make it harder for thieves to steal fast, since they will have spend time and effort to accomplish this.
A third type of van security is an anti-peel kit, that protects the lock's the cylinder from a technique referred to as peeling. This technique involves using weight against the side load door to open it. This could cause damage to the door, and allow thieves to access your toolboxes and other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are simple, yet effective way to guard against this kind of attack.
