Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can secure their possessions with a variety of security enhancements. These include deadlocks, high-security locks, and a van slam.
The Tibbe lock uses rotating discs as well as a sidebar, and an locking mechanism to stop intrusions. Each disc is positioned according to 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 on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is susceptible to theft. Thieves have the ability to gain access by various methods. The thieves are able to pick or force the cylinder, and they may also target the central locking system. A high-security lock will provide security against these attacks and decrease the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL, a direct driver's-door lock replacement, is engineered to resist these types of attacks. It is easy to install and doesn't require drilling. This preserves the original mechanism configuration. It can be keyed to match other locks, and can be equipped with a Slamlock so that the doors lock automatically when they're closed and are only opened with a security key.
Security locks with high-security are a great option for your vehicle, offering an extra layer of protection against theft and break-ins. They can be costly to install, and difficult to replace if the key is lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that greatly improves the security of a car. They add a layer of security that is compatible with the factory locks. They are resistant to common breaking methods such as picking or bumping. They also serve as a visual deterrent. They can deter criminals from pursuing your vehicle in the first place because of their strength and complexity.
A deadlock works by putting the bolt into a receiving bracket that is attached to the internal door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key that creates an additional locking point that is harder for thieves to overcome. We offer a range different deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security versions that have an anti-drill feature and pick cylinder. These are ideal for owner-drivers that need to be flexible when using their vehicle for work.
Another option that is popular is the L4V Slamlock. This is a great option for tradespeople and couriers who frequently forget to lock their vehicles manually. The slamlock locks automatically and can only be opened using a security code. This prevents theft of goods or equipment. It's also adorned with a plastic escutcheon, which makes it a powerful visual deterrent to criminals.
In addition to the above, we also provide high-security locks for transit drivers' doors, which protect against the well-known "peel and steal" attack. Criminals use a crowbar to open the door, and then apply pressure to peel off the skin of the door, granting them access to the vehicle's load area. This high-security transit driver door lock is designed for this kind of attack. It is suitable for both the cab and rear doors.
Van Slams
If you're a courier or other tradesman who uses the vehicle for business and needs to be secure, having the best vehicle security is vital. You may lose your tools and equipment if they are stolen from your vehicle, which could be devastating to your livelihood. This is why it's crucial to look at the different kinds of van locks and security systems that are available for you to consider.
A slamlock is one of the most popular van safety options. It locks your van's door automatically when you shut it. This is ideal for couriers and other tradesmen who must keep their van doors secured when they work in the back. This also decreases the likelihood that they will forget to lock their van door which could occur if they are busy or distracted.
van secure is a type of van security that operates differently than a lock that slams. This is because a thief must physically unlock the deadlock using the use of a key or turn the knob, instead of simply slamming it shut. This means that thieves will be more likely to be unable to succeed in committing a quick theft, as they'll have to take the time and effort to do so.
A third kind of van security is an anti-peel kit which shields the lock the cylinder from a technique referred to as 'peeling'. This technique involves using weight against the side load door to open it. This can damage the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kits are a simple, yet effective way to defend yourself against this type of attack.
All of these options are available to you to pick from, and you can learn more about them by talking to an expert at All Locked Up Safe. Our team can advise you on which option is best for your requirements and we will also supply and install the locks for you. We can also install shielding on your van to guard the locking mechanisms inside and wiring looms.
Driver's door locks
The standard lock for the driver on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is vulnerable to numerous attacks that can let thieves gain access to the vehicle. Upgrade to a high security door lock to minimize the risk of being hacked. This upgrade replaces the lock that was installed at the factory and doesn't require any drilling or modifications.

The design is patent-pending and features an welded body made of premium stainless steel. It can be keyed to other locks on the vehicle to block the unauthorized access. The lock also provides a visual deterrent, so thieves will consider a second thought before attacking the vehicle.
Another option for van security is a deadlock that operates independently of the locking mechanism of the manufacturer. van secure can be fitted higher up in the door, providing additional security and providing an aesthetic deterrent. It can also be used with a hasp kit which adds extra reinforcement to the door frame. It is a great alternative for those who carry expensive tools often, as it protects the contents from theft.
A slams lock is another security feature that locks the doors automatically when they're closed. The doors can only be opened with a specific lock. This is particularly useful for couriers and delivery drivers who need to exit and enter their vans frequently throughout the day.
A hasp kit and an anti-drilling lock are also options to help secure Ford Transit. The anti-drill lock is highly efficient security measure designed to ward off drill attacks. It can be easily mounted on any Ford vehicle. The kit includes several components that can be paired to create a reliable van security system. For instance a puck lock could be protected from twisting attacks using spinners, which is a slip ring that prevents the lock from being twisted off.
