Garrison Locks: Stay Safe and Secure; Exploring How You Can Increase Your Van Security

When we use our vans for work, it is crucial that we keep them as safe and secure as possible so that no would-be-thieves can get in and steal them or their contents. Unfortunately, van attacks are still on the rise meaning that as commercial van owners, we need to be diligent when it comes to protecting our vehicles. Van door locks can help, providing you with additional security for your van and ensuring that its virtually impossible to break into.

There are a number of door lock options to choose from including Armaplates, Slamlocks, Deadlocks and it can be difficult to choose the right option for your vehicle. Here at Garrison Locks, we want to introduce you to a few different ways that you can increase the security of your van, to ensure that it stays safe and secure at all times.

Armaplate Sentinel

One way you can increase your van security is by installing an Armaplate Sentinel, which is one of the leading security systems for vans on the market. It is a unique and patented design, and works by completely encasing the vulnerable area around your vans doors lock and handle. It provides a triple-barrier of steel between the thief and the contents of your van, and gives you an incredibly tough barrier that is virtually impenetrable. 

No additional keys are neccesary, and it also has no moving parts meaning that it can’t wear out over time or stop working. It requires no action from you the driver, and works at all times providing you with ultimate protection for your work van. Here at Garrison Locks we stock the Armaplate Sentinel for many van makes and models, including the Armaplate Sentinel Citroen Berlingo 2008 – 2017, the Armaplate Sentinel Fiat Scudo 2007 – 2016, the Armaplate Sentinel Ford Custom 2014 Onwards and the Armaplate Sentinel Ford Transit MK8 2014 Onwards.

Slamlocks

Slamlocks do exactly what you might think; as soon as you slam your door shut it will automatically lock. This makes slamlocks the ideal option for those who make frequent deliveries, or those who leave their van regularly. It takes away the need for you to lock your vans doors with a key which can be difficult when your hands are full, and is designed to combat human error ensuring that you can’t forget to lock your vehicle. 

They integrate with your existing lock mechanism, and lock automatically as soon as you close your door even for the briefest moments. Slamlocks provide you with 24/7 security for your van, and dramatically reduce the chances of theft of the contents of your vehicle. We stock slamlocks for many van makes and models including the Ford Connect Garrison Slamlocks 2014 – 2018, the Ford Transit Courier Garrison Slamlocks 2014 Onwards, the Renault Trafic 2014 Onwards Garrison Slam Locks, or the Nissan NV200 Garrison Slamlocks 2010 Onwards. 

Deadlocks

Deadlocks also increase your van security, which offer a second independent point of security for your work van. They work separately from your central locking system, and can be locked and unlocked as and when required. The only way to get past a deadlock system is by using a key or security card, making them a very effective method of increasing your vans security.

If thieves can get past your vans original lock, then they still have to get past the deadlock making it a lot more difficult to break into your vehicle. They also have no spring mechanism, making them virtually impossible to pick or force open. 

We stock deadlocks for all makes and models of vans, including the Fiat Talento Garrison Deadlocks 2016 Onwards, the Peugeot Expert Garrison Deadlocks 2017 Onwards, the Citroen Dispatch Garrison Deadlocks 2017 Onwards, and the Volkswagen Caddy Garrison Deadlocks 2004 – 2013.
