Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom

Van owners can upgrade their vans to safeguard their possessions. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and a van slam.

The Tibbe lock utilizes discs that rotate along with a sidebar and a locking mechanism to prevent intrusions. Each disc is set according to the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picking.

High-security locks

The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is prone to attack from thieves who can use several methods to gain access. This includes forcing or picking the cylinder and targeting the central locking system. A high-security lock can defend against these types of attacks, while reducing the possibility of theft. The Replock by TVL, a direct driver's-door lock replacement, has been designed to withstand these types of attacks. It's easy to install and doesn't require drilling. This preserves the original mechanism setup. It can be keyed to match other locks, and can be fitted with an Slamlock to ensure that the doors lock automatically when they're closed and can only be opened with a security key.

Security locks with high-security are a great option to add to your van, providing an additional layer of security against theft and burglaries. However, they can be expensive to install and complicated to replace in the event that you lose the key.

Deadlocks

Deadlocks are a modern security device that enhances the security of your vehicle. They provide an additional layer of security that works with the factory locks. They are resistant to the usual break in methods like bumping or picking. They also serve as a visual deterrent. They can prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle in the first place, because of their complexity and strength.

A deadlock is activated by placing an anchor bolt in a bracket that is mounted on the inside of the door and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, thereby creating a second locking point which is more difficult for thieves to access. We offer a variety of deadlocks that are compatible with the Ford Transit. These include hook locks and high-security versions with an anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. These are particularly for owner-drivers who require the flexibility they require when it comes to using their vehicle for work.

Another popular option is the L4V Slamlock. This is a great option for couriers and tradespeople who frequently forget to lock their vehicles manually. The slamlock locks automatically and can only be opened using the security code. This helps prevent theft of goods or equipment. It is also decorated with a plastic escutcheon that acts as a visual deterrent to criminals.

In addition to the above, we also offer high-security transit drivers door locks which guard against the popular method of "peel and steal" attacks. Criminals will force the door open and then apply pressure to peel off the skin, allowing them to gain access to the cargo area of the vehicle. The high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed to stop this type of attack and is available for doors to the cab, as well as the rear door.

Van slams

If you are a courier, tradesman or any other type of business that relies on a van for their business, having the highest security for your vehicle is essential. You could lose your tools and equipment in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, which could cause a major disruption to your livelihood. It is crucial to think about the different types and van security systems that are available.

A slamlock is one of the most popular van safety options for van security. It locks the door of your van automatically after you shut it. This is perfect for couriers or other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors as they work at the back. This also reduces the chance that they'll not lock the door of their van and this can occur if they are busy or distracted.

Another form of van security is a deadlock that functions differently from the lock that slams. This is because a burglar must physically unlock the deadlock by using the use of a key or turn a knob, rather than just slamming it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to succeed in committing a quick theft, as they'll need to invest the time and effort do so.

Another type of van security is an anti-peel kit that protects the lock's cylinder from a method known as 'peeling'. This method involves leveraging weight against the side load door to open it. This can damage the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes or other valuable items. The anti-peel kit can be a simple and effective method to safeguard your vehicle from this kind of attack.

All of these options are available for you to pick from, and you can find more details about them by speaking to an expert at All Locked Up Safe. Our team will be able to advise you on the most appropriate option for your requirements, and we can supply and install them for you too. We can also install shielding on your van to guard the locking mechanisms within and wiring looms.

Driver's door locks

The standard lock for the door of the driver on the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to a variety of attacks that can allow thieves access to the vehicle. Upgrading to a high-security door lock is a great option to minimize the risk of being a target. This upgrade replaces the lock that was installed at the factory and does not require any drilling or alteration. It also comes with anti-pick and antispin features, making it more difficult for criminals to defeat it.

The TVL trademarked Replock is a security-grade driver's doorlock that offers superior strength and resists forced rotational attacks. The design is patent-pending and features a welded body that is made of premium stainless steel. It can be keyed alike with other locks on the vehicle to prevent unauthorised access. The lock is also an attractive deterrent to thieves, and they might consider avoiding the vehicle.

Another popular van security solution is a deadlock that operates independently of the locking mechanism of the manufacturer. here This can be installed higher in the door to provide additional security. It also serves as an effective visual deterrent. It can be used in conjunction with a set of hasps that strengthens the door frame. It is a great option for those who regularly transport expensive tools, as it can protect the contents from theft.

Other security improvements include a slams lock which automatically locks the doors when closed, and is only opened using a special key. This is especially useful for couriers and delivery drivers who have to enter and exit their vans regularly throughout the day.

Other accessories that help to protect a Ford Transit are an anti-drill lock as well as a hasp kit. The anti-drill lock can be described as a extremely effective security measure designed to stop drill attacks. It is easily mounted on any Ford vehicle. The kit contains a variety of components that can be utilized to create a van security system. For instance the puck lock can be secured from twisting attacks using a spinner, which is an elongated ring that stops the lock from being bent off.
