Slam Locks

When it comes to van security, a slam lock offers a great solution for those who struggle to remember to manually lock their commercial vehicle. These locks secure the doors of your load area as you shut them.

This makes their vehicles vulnerable to thieves waiting at fuel stations or in other public areas.

A slam lock shuts off the factory-fitted van door handle although it stays in place, and replaces it with a surface-mounted lock that can only be opened using keys for slam locks. This means that the new lock will only unlock the doors you want to open, unlike central locking systems for vans that are factory-fitted that reopen all doors in the vehicle including those in the loading area leaving areas that are left unattended and vulnerable to theft.

A slamlock can be a reliable and fail-safe locking system for your van, but can also serve as a visible deterrent to potential criminals. It is essential to consider this when deciding which type of van lock you want installed on your commercial vehicle.

Another option that is popular is to set up deadlocks on your van. These offer a bit more security than slam locks however are easier to access from inside the vehicle, especially if you're in it for long periods of time.

These locks are based on a similar concept to slam locks and use hook bolts that connect in the opposite side of the vehicle's body section. They are operated by the driver, and just like locks, slam locks are only opened using the key under full control of the owner.
