Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can protect their possessions with a variety of security enhancements. These include high-security locks, deadlocks and van slams.
The Tibbe lock system makes use of rotating discs and a sidebar to prevent break-ins. Each disc is positioned in accordance with the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picking.
High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to attack from thieves who can use several methods to gain access. This includes forcing or picking the cylinder, and aiming at the central locking system. A security lock with a high level of security can provide protection against these attacks and reduce the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL, a direct driver's-door lock replacement, is designed to resist these types of attacks. It's simple to install and does not require drilling. This keeps the original mechanism setup. It can be keyed to match other locks, and can be fitted with a Slamlock so that the doors automatically lock when they're closed and can only be opened with an access key for security.
Security locks with high-security can be an excellent addition to a van. They provide an extra layer of protection against theft and break-ins. However they can be expensive to install and complex to replace in the event that you lose the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a high-tech security device that greatly improves the security of vehicles. They add an extra layer of protection that works in conjunction with factory locks and are able to withstand common break-in methods such as bumping or picking. They also function as a visual deterrent, and can deter criminals from targeting your van in the first place because of their complexity and strength.
A deadlock works by throwing the bolt into a receiving bracket, which is fitted to the internal door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key that creates another locking point that's harder for thieves to overcome. We have a range of deadlocks to fit the Ford Transit. These include hook locks and high-security versions with anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. These are ideal for owner-drivers who need to be able to change their locks when using their vehicle to work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular choice. It is ideal for couriers and tradespeople who frequently forget to lock their vehicles manually. The lock locks automatically and only be opened with a security code. This stops theft of equipment or goods. It also comes with a plastic escutcheon, which makes it a powerful visual deterrent to criminals.
We also provide 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 down the door's skin, giving them access to the load area of the vehicle. This high-security driver's door lock for transit is designed for this kind of attack. It can be used on both the rear and cab doors.
Van slams
If you're a courier or tradesperson that requires the vehicle for business, then having the best vehicle security is vital. If your equipment and tools are here stolen, it can cause a significant impact on your livelihood. It is important to consider the different types and van security systems available.
A slamlock is one the most well-known van security options. It locks the door of your van automatically when you close it. This is perfect for couriers or other tradesmen who must lock their van doors while they work in the back. It also reduces the chance of them not locking their van doors which could happen when they're busy or distracted.
Another kind of van security is a deadlock that functions differently from a lock that slams. This is because a burglar must physically unlock the deadlock by using keys or by turning the knob, instead of simply hitting it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to get away with a quick theft, as they'll have to take the time and effort to do so.
A third type of van security is an anti-peel kit which protects the lock the cylinder from a technique referred to as 'peeling'. This technique involves leveraging weight against the side load door to open it. This could cause damage to the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes, or other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are easy, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.
All of these options are available for you to pick from, and you can learn more details about them by speaking to an expert at All Locked Up Safe. Our team will be able to advise you on the best option for your needs, and we can supply and install the items for you. We can also fit shielding to your van to secure the locking mechanism and wiring looms from attacks.
Driver's door locks
The standard driver's lock that comes with the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is vulnerable to several attacks that could permit thieves to gain access to the vehicle. Upgrading to a high-security door lock is a good 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 modification. It also comes with anti-spin and anti-pick features making it more difficult for criminals to break it.
The TVL trademarked Replock is a high-security driver's door lock that has the highest strength and is resistant to forced rotational attacks. Its unique design features the body welded to be constructed of high-quality stainless steel, and it can be keyed in conjunction with other locks on the vehicle to prevent unauthorised access. The lock also serves as an attractive deterrent to thieves, so they may consider avoiding the vehicle.
Another option for van security is a deadlock, which is independent of the locking mechanism of the manufacturer. It can be installed higher in the door, providing additional security and providing a visual deterrent. It can also be used with a hasp kit, which provides additional strength to the door frame. It is an excellent option for those who have to transport expensive tools frequently, as it protects the contents from theft.
Other security improvements include a slams lock which automatically locks the doors when shut and is only opened with a special key. This is especially useful for couriers and delivery drivers who often enter and exit their vans during the day, as it protects 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 designed to stop drill attacks and can be easily mounted on any Ford vehicle. The kit comes with a range of components that can be used to create an effective van security system. For instance a puck lock could be protected from twisting attacks by using spinners, which is an elongated ring that stops the lock from being bent off.
