Because of van door security and complexity, they could also be a deterrent for criminals.
A deadlock is activated by placing the bolt into an attached bracket on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key that creates a second locking point that's more difficult for thieves to get around. We offer a variety of deadlocks to fit the Ford Transit.

If you're a courier or other tradesperson who requires vans for your business and needs to be secure, having the best security for your vehicle is crucial.

It also reduces the risk of them omitting to lock the doors of their van which could happen when they're distracted or busy.
Another form of van security is a deadlock, that functions differently from the locks that slam. The reason for this is that a thief would have to open the deadlock physically with a key, or by turning a knob. They aren't able to simply slam it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to succeed in committing an easy theft, since they'll need to put in the time and effort complete the process.
Anti-peel kits are a 3rd type of van safety. They protect the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This method involves using weight to open the door on the side.
