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 deadlocks, high-security locks and the van slam.
The Tibbe lock system uses rotating discs and a sidebar to stop break-ins. Each disc is positioned in accordance to the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is very rugged 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 use a variety of methods to gain access. The thieves could pick or force the cylinder and also target the central locking system. A high-security lock will provide security against these attacks and reduce the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock designed to resist these kinds of attacks. It's simple to install and requires no drilling, while preserving the original mechanism setup. It can be made to match any other lock, and then fitted with an Slamlock to ensure that doors will automatically lock when closed and will only be unlocked by a security code.
Security locks with high-security are a great addition to your vehicle, offering 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 a high-tech security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They add an extra layer of security that integrates with the factory locks. They are resistant to common break-in methods such as bumping or picking. They also function as a visual deterrent. They can prevent criminals from targeting your van in the first place because of their complexity and strength.
A deadlock is activated by placing an anchor bolt in an attached bracket on the interior door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key, and creates a second locking point that's more difficult for thieves to break. We offer a range of deadlocks that are different for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security versions that feature an anti-drill and pick cylinder. These locks are ideally suited to owner-drivers who need a level of flexibility in the 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. Once closed, the slamlock automatically locks and can only be opened by the security key, thereby preventing the theft of equipment or items. It is also decorated with an escutcheon made from plastic that acts as a visual deterrent to criminals.
We also provide high-security transit drivers door locks which protect against the infamous 'peel-and-steal' attack. Criminals will use crowbars to force the door, and then use pressure to peel the skin off, allowing them to gain access to the cargo area inside the vehicle. The high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed to stop this type of attack. It is available for the doors to the cab, as well as the rear doors.
Van van
If you're a courier or other tradesperson that requires vans for your business, then having the best vehicle security is vital. If your tools and equipment get stolen, it can have a major impact on your livelihood. This is why it's important to look at the different 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 locks your van's door as soon as it shuts. This is perfect for couriers and other tradesmen that need to secure their van doors when they work at the back. This also reduces the chance that they'll forget to lock the door of their van which could occur when they are distracted or busy.
A deadlock is another type of van security that functions differently than a lock that slams. The reason for this is that a burglar will need to physically unlock the deadlock using keys or by turning a knob instead of just slamming it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to succeed in committing the theft in a hurry, as they'll need to put in the time and effort to complete the process.
Anti-peel kits are the third kind of van safety. They protect the lock cylinder from a method called 'peeling.' This method 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 and other valuable items. The anti-peel kit is a simple and effective way to protect your vehicle from this kind of attack.
All Locked Up Safe has experts who can tell you more about these options. Our team can guide you to the most suitable option for your needs and we can also provide and install the items for you. We can also install shielding to your vehicle to safeguard the locking mechanism inside and wiring looms from attack.
Driver's door locks
The standard door lock for the driver on the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to numerous attacks that can allow thieves access to the vehicle. The upgrade to a more secure door lock here is a good method to limit this vulnerability. This upgrade replaces the lock used at the factory and does not require any drilling or alteration. It also features anti-spin and anti-pick features, making it more difficult for criminals to break it.
The patent-pending Replock by TVL is a high-security driver's door lock which offers the highest strength and resistance to forced rotational attacks. The design is patent-pending and features a welded body that is constructed of high-quality stainless steel, and it can be keyed in conjunction with other locks on the vehicle to block the unauthorized access. The lock also provides visual deterrence, so thieves may consider a second thought before attacking the vehicle.
A deadlock is yet another popular van security option. It operates independently of the locking mechanism. This can be placed higher in the door, providing additional security and providing an effective visual deterrent. It can also be combined with a hasp kit, which provides additional strength to the door frame. It is a great option for those who have to transport expensive tools often, as it safeguards the contents from theft.
Other security enhancements include a slams lock which automatically locks the doors when closed and can only be opened using a special key. This is particularly useful for delivery drivers and couriers who need to exit and enter their vans regularly throughout the day.
A hasp kit and an anti-drilling lock are also accessories that can help secure Ford Transit. The latter is an extremely effective security measure that is designed to stop drill attacks and can be easily fitted to any Ford vehicle. The kit includes several components that can be combined to create an effective van security system. For example, a puck lock can be secured from twisting attacks with spinners, which is the slip ring that keeps the lock from being twisted off.
