Van Locks & Van Security
A van is two targets in one: the vehicle and the tools inside it. Factory van locks are built for convenience, not for a determined attack on a side loading door, and peeled doors are a nightly occurrence across London and Essex.
We fit additional van locks at your address or yard, on the doors that matter for how you actually work. If you are in and out of the van all day, the right answer is usually different from a van that is loaded once and driven.
- Deadlocks for load and cab doors
- Slam locks for multi-drop and delivery use
- Hook locks and anti-peel reinforcement
- Rear, side and cab door options
- Replacement of damaged or seized van locks
- Fitted at your home, yard or workplace
Van deadlocks vs slam locks
A deadlock is thrown with a key, so it suits vans that are locked up and left. A slam lock secures the moment the door closes, which suits multi-drop drivers who cannot be walking back to lock up at every stop. Choosing the wrong one is the most common regret we see, so we ask how you use the van before recommending anything.
Hook locks, anti-peel plates and door reinforcement
Peel attacks pull the door skin away from the frame rather than defeating the lock. Hook locks and reinforcement plates fight that specific attack, and on popular models they are worth more than another cylinder.
Replacement van locks after damage or wear
If a lock has been attacked, jammed with debris or worn out from constant use, we can replace it and, where possible, key new locks to work with a single key so you are not carrying a bunch.
Van Locks & Van Security FAQs
Which van locks do I actually need?
It depends on how you use the van. Tell us the model, which doors you use most and whether you make frequent drops, and we will recommend accordingly.
Can new van locks use one key?
On many vans, yes — locks can be keyed alike so one key operates them. We will confirm for your model.
Can you fit van locks at my yard?
Yes. We attend your address, yard or workplace across East London, Essex and surrounding areas.
How much do van deadlocks cost to fit?
It depends on the van, the doors involved and the lock type. Send the model and which doors you want secured and we will quote before any work starts.
Do you fit slam locks for multi-drop delivery work?
Yes — slam locks secure the door the moment it shuts, which is the usual choice for multi-drop drivers.
