Van fitting and security

Commercial vehicles are a prime target for burglars – around two commercial vehicles per hour are broken into in the UK. So it is important to secure your vehicle with professional van lock installation by a professional locksmith. Having your van broken into could prove detrimental to your business (the average cost of a claim is now around £1700) so it’s essential that you take the correct measures to ensure that your van is fully secured. We provide van deadlock installation near you to keep your vehicle protected.

There are things you can do yourself to protect your vehicle with window grilles and window blanks, mark your tools with a UV pen and take great care when parking (don’t park in a badly lit parking lot, for instance) and check if there are CCTV cameras for added security. Make sure you have a log of what is inside the van and record serial numbers for valuable items. 

We offer a host of products including British standard deadlocks, loomguard shields, armaplates and handleguards from top brands Armaplate, Hykee, Mul-T-Lock Garrison and ProtectaVan. We also supply and install proplates which protect the area around the door handle that is often targeted by thieves. Another popular ProtectAVan product for van lock security that our vehicle locksmiths can install are slam handles which help prevent the van handle from being removed, a popular technique used by thieves. Any of these high quality security products can be included as part of your van lock installation. Additional products include electrical accessories (lighting, alarms systems, beacons and Bluetooth hands-free and witness cameras), interior lining and racking systems and high security tool vaults.

One of the biggest problems for van and general vehicle security is human error. We are all prone to making mistakes like leaving a door unlocked by mistake. Slam locks prevent this from happening by automatically locking your vehicle once the door is closed, giving you total peace of mind. Access can only be gained again by using the correct security key. This is a security bolt-on (literally) well worth considering.

As with all our products the van security range comes with free expert advice, a six-month warranty and exceptional after-sales service. We offer a free consultation and quote for your van security locks, with no obligation.
