Why add extra van security?

Factory-fitted central locking may not provide enough protection for tools and equipment carried in a working van. 

Additional mechanical security can make unauthorised access more difficult and help protect the contents of your vehicle.

The right combination depends on your van model, door configuration, existing locks and the value of the equipment you carry. We can discuss the available options and recommend a practical setup.

Security for working vans and commercial vehicles

A van security installation should be reliable, discreet and suitable for everyday use. We take care to fit equipment correctly and work around the vehicle’s existing systems wherever possible.

If your vehicle has already suffered attempted entry or damage, repair plates, shields and related protection may also be appropriate. 

Send us details of the vehicle and the issue so we can advise on the next step.

Mobile fitting across the local area

When it comes to van security, not all locks are created equal. You might be familiar with a standard deadlock, which shoots a straight bolt into the receiving bracket. It's a good, solid defence.

But thieves are smart, and one of their most common brute-force attacks is the "peel and steal." They use tools to wrench the top of the door outwards, creating a gap and forcing the straight deadlock bolt out of its keep.

This is where the Hooklock changes the game. Instead of a straight bolt, a hooklock throws a heavy-duty, curved bolt that hooks down and in to a reinforced bracket.

What does this mean?

✅ It Actively Resists Peeling: When thieves try to pull the door outwards, the hook mechanism actually pulls the door tighter into the frame. It uses their own force against them, making the "peel and steal" method incredibly difficult.

✅ Superior Brute-Force Protection: The design provides a much stronger defence against being crowbarred or forced apart compared to a standard straight bolt.

✅ Ultimate Peace of Mind: It's a significant upgrade in security for a minimal extra cost over a standard deadlock.

We recommend fitting hooklocks high up on side and rear doors to specifically combat the peeling attack, giving you a formidable layer of physical protection.

Don't just secure your van. Outsmart the thieves. If you're ready to upgrade from good security to great security, send us a message to talk about fitting hooklocks to your vehicle.
