Van Security Upgrades For the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom
Van owners can upgrade their vans to safeguard their belongings. These include high-security locks, deadlocks and a van slam.
The Tibbe lock uses rotating discs, a sidebar and an locking mechanism to stop intrusions. Each disc is placed in accordance to the angled cuts in the blades of the key. This system is very rugged and pick resistant.
High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to attack from thieves who may employ a variety of methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder and they can also attack the central locking system. A high-security locking system will be protected from these attacks, reducing the possibility of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock designed to resist these types of attacks. It is easy to install and does not require drilling. It's still the original mechanism configuration. It can be made to match any other lock and paired with a Slamlock to ensure that the doors will automatically lock when closed, and are only unlocked using the security code.
High-security locks are a great addition to your van, as they provide an extra layer of protection against break-ins and theft. They can be costly to install and are difficult to replace if keys are lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that significantly enhance the security of a car. They add an extra layer of security that is compatible with the factory locks. They are resistant to the usual breaking methods such as picking or bumping. Due to their strength and complexity, they may also act as an effective deterrent to criminals.
A deadlock works by putting a bolt into a receiving bracket that is attached to the internal door and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key and creates an additional locking point that is more difficult for thieves to get around. We offer a range various deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security models that feature an anti-drill and pick cylinder. The latter are especially designed for owners who require some flexibility in the use of their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular choice. The Key Lab is a great option for tradespeople or couriers who fail to lock their vehicle manually. The slamlock locks automatically and can only be opened with an access code. This stops the theft of equipment or items. It is also decorated with a plastic escutcheon that acts as a visual deterrent for criminals.
In addition to the above, we also provide high-security locks for transit drivers' doors, which protect against the popular method of "peel and steal" attack. Criminals use a crowbar open the door, and then apply pressure to peel off the skin of the door, granting them access to the load area of the vehicle. The high-security driver's door lock for transit is specifically designed to stop this kind of attack. It's available for doors to the cab, as well as the rear doors.
Van slams
If you're a courier, tradesman or other business that uses a van to conduct their business, ensuring the best security for your vehicle is essential. If your tools and equipment are stolen, it can cause a significant impact on your income. It's important that you consider the various van security systems available.
A slamlock is one of the most sought-after van security options for van security. It locks your van's door automatically after you close it. This is perfect for couriers and other tradesmen who need to keep their van doors secured while working in the back. This also decreases the likelihood that they'll overlook locking the door of their van, which can occur when they are busy or distracted.
Another form of van security is a deadlock which works differently to a slam lock. This is because a thief will need to physically unlock the deadlock using a key or by turning the knob, instead of simply slamming it shut. This will make it harder for thieves to rob quickly because they will have to spend time and effort to do so.
Anti-peel kits are the third type of van security. They guard the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This technique involves using weight to open the door on the side. This could cause damage to the door and also allow thieves to access your toolboxes and other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are a easy, yet effective method to defend yourself against this type of attack.

Driver's door locks
The standard lock for the door of the driver on the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is vulnerable to a variety of attacks that can give thieves access to the vehicle. Upgrade to a high security door lock to limit this vulnerability. This upgrade replaces the lock used by the manufacturer and does not require any drilling or modifications. It has anti-picking and anti-spining properties that make it harder for criminals.
The TVL trademarked Replock is a security-grade driver's doorlock that is of superior strength and resists forced rotational attacks. The unique design has the body of stainless steel that is welded, which can be keyed to match the other locks in the vehicle. The lock also serves as a visual deterrent to thieves, so they may consider avoiding the vehicle.
Another popular van security solution is a deadlock, which operates independently of the locking mechanism of the manufacturer. This can be installed higher up in the door to add security. It also serves as an effective visual deterrent. It can be paired with a kit of hasps, which strengthens the door frame. It is an excellent option for those who have to transport expensive tools frequently, as it safeguards the contents from theft.
Other security enhancements include a slams lock, which locks the doors automatically when closed and is only opened by a specific key. This is particularly beneficial for delivery drivers and couriers who often enter and exit their vans throughout the day, as it safeguards against them not locking the doors manually.
Other accessories that help to protect a Ford Transit are an anti-drill lock as well as a hasp kit. The anti-drill lock is highly efficient security measure designed to ward off drill attacks. It can be easily fitted to any Ford vehicle. The kit includes a variety of components that can be combined to create a reliable van security system. For example a puck lock could be protected from twisting attacks by using spinners, which is a slip ring that prevents the lock from being twisted off.
