Using Hook Locks to Secure the Contents of Your Van

Hook locks are a great option to improve the security of your van. They're easy to set up and work in isolation from your van's main lock.

Gunnebo Industries, now Crosby created the self-locking swivelhook to increase safety on construction sites. The hooks snap shut under load to prevent snatching and falling off overhead lines.

Loop Wire Hook Locks

These locking hooks made of mechanical are designed to lock down items and accessories. They function with loop wire hooks, which prevent theft. These locks are designed to be used with HandiWALL or other compatible pegboards. They automatically lock merchandise in place, and can also be released manually by pressing down on the spring-loaded lock. These locks are a cost-effective option to magnetic hooks. They can also be repositioned easily without the use of tools.

A hook and loop fastener (commonly called Velcro) comprises two components. The "hook" side is comprised of tiny, stiff hooks, and the "loops" side is made up loops that are soft, fuzzy. When the components are put together, they create an extremely strong, but reversible bond. These fasteners can be used for a variety of purposes for bundling cables in electronics, automotive and other industries.

George de Mestral invented the first hook-and-loop device in 1941. While on a hunt in the Alps He observed the burrs of burdock that stuck to the fur of animals and clothing and realized that they were brimming with tiny hooks that caught on loops that were found on fabrics and other surfaces. De Mestral was enthralled by this and came up with the idea to create an adhesive that was made of hooks and loops that would tie materials in a reversible manner. After several tests, he developed a mechanized production process and selected nylon as the material. The product was put into commercial production with the VELCRO name.

These hooks are simple to install since they automatically latch when the load is under tension. This prevents unintended release, and adds an additional layer of protection when lifting. The hooks that are used to lock wire hooks can be connected to grade 10 chain by using a connecting link or webbing with an sling connector for web as well as being equipped to connect to other hardware like pins. These locking hooks are available with a variety of pressure-sensitive adhesives to meet the requirements of your application. They are available in a variety of sizes to fit different types of cables or chains.

Magnetic Hook Locks

Magnetic hook locks have an elongated base that looks like a disc and features an integrated magnet. The magnet adheres to ferrous materials, like metal. Once the base has been connected to the hook you cannot remove it until you take off the cap of the magnetic key. Then, apply the magnetic force to the top of the body of the lock (where label says "6 mm") Magnetic hook locks work best on hooks with a greater diameter. They might not be able to stay on thinner hooks. The lock is powered with DC power, and includes one or two coils that create the magnetic force needed to hold the hook in the right position.

Magnetic door locks, also known as mag locks are a popular security option for commercial and industrial spaces. When they are activated, an electromagnetic force locks the door by attracting an electromagnet to an armature plate affixed to the frame. The strength of the magnetic force is according to the size of lock and the voltage.

Commercial magnetic locks are often "fail-safe" and can be unlocked when power is cut off to ensure that users can exit in the event of a disaster or disruption to the electrical supply. They are also popular for installing on doors that open into areas containing hazardous or sensitive materials in order to prevent unauthorized access by those who do not have the proper credentials.

Electric strike door locks however are usually installed as part of an access control system. They allow or restrict access based on identity requirements, credentials and schedules. They can be activated through a variety of ways such as fobs, cards proximity readers, keypads and fobs PINs to unlock. It is essential to consider the various locking mechanisms before deciding on the one that is best suited to your facility or business. This guide will explore the advantages and drawbacks of both types and help you weigh up the advantages and disadvantages so that you can make an informed choice that is suitable for your needs.

Hook Locks made of stainless steel

These hook locks are made of Stainless Steel, which is robust and resistant to corrosion. These hooks are part of the Crosby Group's line of self-closing hooks that help increase security on construction sites. Also known as safety hooks or latch hooks, they snap shut whenever there is a load on them. This can help prevent injuries to workers.

These rigging hooks are more durable than the spring latches found on standard sling hooks. In the construction industry, equipment is used to a great extent and undergoes many wear and tear. This can lead to spring latches getting damaged or even breaking off the hook. If this occurs, the hook has to be removed from service until a suitable replacement is delivered to the job site. With a forged latch, which is an integral part of the hook's body it is highly unlikely to occur.

Both the Crosby Shur-Loc and Gunnebo Industries hooks have an recessed trigger to prevent the potential of pinching your thumb on it when opening the latch. This is a problem that can occur when hooks are of poor quality. The Gunnebo Industries hook also has an anti-rotation stop on the latch, which stops the latch from rotating down onto your thumb when you're opening it.





Another benefit of the Stainless steel hook lock is that it can be key locked to provide additional security. This feature is beneficial in situations where the lock is out of reach. For example in a service or tool area on an ute tray. The locks can be put in traditional holes in metal, wood and doors made of masonry. They are constructed out of Grade 304 Stainless steel and feature a square forend. They also have a strike plate, latch and follower. Forends and strike plates can be cut to be sized to. These latches can be ordered with or without a key cylinder.

Brass Hook Locks

A hook lock made of brass is a simple and effective way to secure the contents of your van. It can deter criminals from bending the door to gain access to your goods. van hook locks can also be used to add an additional layer of security to your vehicle to deter thieves from breaking into your vehicle using force.

Brass door hook locks are made of heavy-duty metal and come in a variety of timeless finishes that will complement your home's decor and architectural style. They can be hung on French doors, cupboards and even outdoor areas like gardens and sheds. They are a great option for keeping gates and doors open or closed, and they can be locked with padlocks or keys to protect your valuables.

They function in a similar way as pin cylinders. A central core or plug needs to be turned to unlock the locking mechanism. The plug is stopped from turning by a sequence of pins that obstruct it, and they are divided into pairs, with the top one called the driver pins, and the bottom ones, referred to as the key pins. When the correct key is in place and the split in these pairs aligns on the ledge at point at which the plug comes into contact with the housing of lock (called the "shear line") and allows the plug to turn.

To pick a brass hook lock, you have to apply pressure or torque to the plug while lifting and setting each pin one by one in a specific sequence or order. Once all the pins have been lifted then a ledge is formed between the plug and housing. It can be cut with a shear tool. Once the shear line is created, you can remove the key and open the lock.
