Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom

Van owners can protect their belongings by utilizing a variety of security enhancements. These include high-security locks, deadlocks and a van slam.

The Tibbe lock uses discs that rotate as well as a sidebar, and an locking mechanism to stop intrusions. Each disc is set in accordance with the angled cuts on the blade of the key. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picking.

High-security locks

The standard door lock for drivers in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to attack by thieves who may employ a variety of methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder and they can also attack the central locking system. A high-security lock can defend against these types of attacks, while reducing the chance of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement driver's door lock designed to resist these kinds of attacks. It's simple to install and doesn't require drilling. It's still the original mechanism configuration. It can be made to match any other lock and paired with a Slamlock to ensure that doors will automatically lock when they are closed, and are only unlocked with a security code.

Security locks with high-security can be a great addition to a van. They offer an additional layer of protection against theft and break-ins. They can be costly to install, and also difficult to replace if the key gets lost.

Deadlocks

Deadlocks are an advanced security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They provide an additional layer of protection that works in conjunction with factory locks and are able to withstand common break-in methods such as picking or bumping. They also act as a visual deterrent, and can help prevent criminals from targeting your vehicle in the first place due to their complexity and strength.

A deadlock operates by throwing the bolt into a receiving bracket fitted to the door's internal and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, and creates a second locking point that's more difficult for thieves to get around. We offer a range of deadlocks that are different for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security ones with an anti-drill and pick cylinder. These are great for owners who need to be able to change their locks in their use of 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 open with a security code. This prevents theft of goods or equipment. It's also adorned with a plastic escutcheon, making it a strong visual deterrent for criminals.

We also offer high security door locks for transit drivers that protect against the popular 'peel-and-steal' attack. This is when criminals crowbar open the door and then apply pressure to peel away the door's skin, giving them access to the load area of the vehicle. This high-security driver door lock for transit is specifically designed to withstand this kind of attack. It can be used on both the rear and cab doors.

Van Slams

If you are a courier, tradesman or other business that uses the vehicle to conduct their business, ensuring the best security for your vehicle is essential. You may lose your equipment and tools in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, and this could have a huge impact on your business. It's important that you consider the various types of van security systems that are available.

One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam locking device, which locks your van door once it shuts. This is perfect for couriers and other tradesmen who need to keep their van doors secure while working in the back. This also reduces the chance that they'll forget to lock the door of their van and this can occur when they are busy or distracted.

Another kind of van security is a deadlock that functions differently from a slam lock. This is because a burglar will need to physically unlock the deadlock by using keys or by turning a knob instead of just closing it. This will make it harder for thieves to steal fast as they will need spend time and effort in order to accomplish this.

Anti-peel kits are the third type of van safety. They protect the lock cylinder from the method of 'peeling.' This technique involves using weight to open the side-load door. This could cause damage to the door and also allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes as well as other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are a simple, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.

All of these options are there 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 be able to advise you on the most appropriate option for your requirements and we will supply and fit the items for you. We can also fit shielding to your van to protect the internal locking mechanism and wiring looms from attack.


Driver's door locks

The standard driver's door lock on the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to numerous attacks that could give thieves access to the vehicle. Upgrade to a high security door lock to limit this vulnerability. This upgrade is a simple replacement for the factory-installed lock and does not require drilling or changes. It also comes with anti-pick and anti-spin properties making it more difficult for criminals to break it.

The TVL Replock is a patent-pending product from TVL. Replock is a security-grade driver's doorlock that is of strong security and a resistance to forced rotational attacks. The design is patent-pending and features the body welded to be made of premium stainless steel, and it can be keyed in conjunction with other locks on the vehicle to stop unauthorised access. The lock also acts as an aesthetic deterrent, meaning that thieves may think twice before targeting the vehicle.

Another option for van security is a deadlock, which is independent of the manufacturer's locking mechanism. It can be installed higher in the door, offering additional security and also an aesthetic deterrent. It can be combined with a kit of hasps that strengthens the door frame. It is a good option for those who have to transport expensive tools frequently, as it protects the contents from theft.

A slams-lock is a different security option that locks the doors automatically when they're closed. The doors can only be opened with a specific lock. This is especially useful for couriers and delivery drivers who have to enter and exit their vans often throughout the day.

A hasp kit and an anti-drilling lock are also accessories that can help secure a Ford Transit. The latter is an extremely efficient security measure designed to stop drill attacks and can be easily mounted on any Ford vehicle. The kit contains a variety of components that can be utilized to create an effective van security system. For example the puck lock can be protected from twisting attacks using spinners, which are the slip ring that keeps the lock from being twisted off.
