Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can upgrade their vans to protect their possessions. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and the van slam.
The Tibbe lock system makes use of rotating discs and a sidebar that prevent break-ins. Each disc is placed according to the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely rugged and resistant to picking.
High-security locks
The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to attack by thieves who can use several methods to gain access. This includes picking or bending the cylinder and targeting the central locking system. A security lock with a high level of security can provide security against these attacks and decrease the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock that's engineered to withstand these types of attacks. It's easy to install and doesn't require drilling. It's still the original mechanism configuration. It can be keyed to match any other lock, and then fitted with the Slamlock to ensure that doors will automatically lock when closed and will only be unlocked using a security code.
Security locks with high-security are a great option to add to your vehicle, offering an extra layer of protection against break-ins and theft. However, they can be expensive to install and difficult to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a modern security device that improves the security of your vehicle. They add an extra layer of security that is used in conjunction with factory locks and are invulnerable to common break-in methods such as bumping or picking. Due to their robustness and complexity, they could also be an effective deterrent for criminals.
Deadlocks are activated by placing a bolt in a bracket installed on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, which creates another locking point that is more difficult for thieves to access. We offer a range of different deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security versions that have an anti-drill feature and pick cylinder. These locks are ideally for owner-drivers who require some flexibility in the use of their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another option that is popular. This is a great option for tradespeople and couriers who do not lock their vehicles manually. Once closed, the slamlock locks automatically and can only be opened by a security key, preventing theft of goods or equipment. It's also adorned with a plastic escutcheon, creating a formidable visual deterrent for criminals.
In addition to the above, we also provide high-security transit drivers door locks that guard against the popular method of "peel and steal" attack. Criminals use a crowbar open the door, and then apply pressure to peel down the skin of the door, granting them access to the vehicle's load area. The high-security transit driver's door lock has been designed to prevent this kind of attack. It is available for the cab doors as well as the rear doors.
Van van
If you're a tradesman, courier, or other business that utilizes the vehicle to conduct their business, having the highest security for your vehicle is vital. If your tools and equipment get stolen, it can be a huge impact on your business. This is the reason it's essential to research the various kinds of locks and van security systems that are available to you to look at.
One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam lock, which automatically locks your van's door when it closes. This is perfect for couriers or other tradesmen who must secure their van doors when they work at the back. It also reduces the risk of them forgetting to lock their van doors which could happen if they're busy or distracted.
A deadlock is a different kind of van security that operates differently than a Slamlock. This is because a burglar will have to physically unlock the deadlock using a key or by turning the knob, instead of simply slamming it shut. This means that thieves are much less likely to be able to pull off a quick theft, as they'll need to invest the time and effort complete the process.
Anti-peel kits are a 3rd type of van security . They guard the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This method uses weight to open the door on the side. This could damage the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kit is an easy and effective way to protect your van against this type of attack.
All Locked Up Safe has experts who can inform you more about these options. Our team will be able to guide you to the best option for your needs and we can also supply and fit them for you as well. We can also install shielding on your van to safeguard the internal locking mechanisms and wiring looms.
Driver's door locks
The standard door lock for 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. Upgrade to a high-security door lock is an excellent way to reduce this vulnerability. This upgrade is a direct replacement for the lock installed by the factory, and it doesn't require any drilling or modifications. It has anti-picking and anti-spining properties that make it more difficult for criminals to break into the lock.
The TVL trademarked 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 from high-grade stainless steel. It can be keyed in conjunction with other locks on the vehicle to stop unauthorised access. The lock also serves as an aesthetic deterrent, meaning that thieves will think twice before targeting the vehicle.
Another option for van security is a deadlock, which operates independently of the manufacturer's locking mechanism. It can be set higher in the door frame to add security. It also acts as an aesthetic deterrent. It can be paired with a set of hasps, which reinforces the door frame. It is an excellent alternative for those who carry expensive tools often, as it shields the contents from theft.
A slams-lock is a different security upgrade that locks the doors automatically when they are closed and only opens by using a lock that is specifically designed for it. This can be particularly useful for couriers and delivery drivers who frequently enter and exit their vans throughout the day, since it prevents them from forgetting to lock the doors manually.
Other accessories that help to secure a ford transit include an anti-drill lock as well as a hasp kit. The former is a highly efficient security measure that is designed to stop drill attacks and is easily fitted to any Ford vehicle. The kit comes with a range of elements that can be used to create an effective van security system. A spinner can shield the lock from twisting attacks. It is a slipring that stops it from being twisted.
