Highlighting the Different Locks to Keep Your Commercial Vehicle Safe

If you own a commercial vehicle, you will know how important it is to keep it safe from theft. Your vehicle most likely carries valuable items, and the last thing you want is to leave you vulnerable to theft or break ins. The good news is that there are many different measures you can use to keep your commercial vehicle safe from theft – including van pedal locks, slam locks, side door keepers and many more types of locks.

We have put together this post, to look into the different locks that you can use to keep your commercial vehicle safe from theft. Garrison Locks is the UK’s leading van security brand, providing a wide range of van locks and security systems for commercial vehicles.

Van Pedal Locks

One of the most commonly used types of locks for commercial vehicles are van pedal locks, which we recommend to any commercial van owner. They’re super easy and simple to install, and will provide you with the ultimate type of protection to ensure that no one can steal your vehicle. This will help prevent your vehicle from theft, and cost you thousands of pounds to replace as well as having to replace your belongings and equipment that are in your van. 

Van pedal locks work by clamping your vans pedals in a spacious box, which blocks access to your vehicle’s pedal controls. They can also be seen from the outside of your vehicle, giving you peace of mind that you know that your van’s pedals are protected and that any potential thieves can see it too.

Slam Locks

When protecting our vans, we recommend you use slam locks. They are often used by couriers, delivery drivers and multi-drop drivers, who will often be leaving and entering their van multiple times. If you work in a job like this, it can be a struggle to take items out of your van and whilst holding them to lock your van. This can put your van at risk, and if you accidently don’t lock your van and go to make a delivery then someone can steal the contents of your van.

Slam locks take away the need for a key to be used, as they instantly lock as soon as you slam your vans door shut hence their name. Your van will then not be able to be entered, unless the correct high security key is used. As your van door will always be locked, it dramatically reduces the chances of theft from your vehicle and will keep it as safe as possible.

Side Door Keepers

Unfortunately, van door attacks are still very common and one way that thieves attempt to break into vans is by peeling the door. They do this by using force to grab the top of the vans back or side doors with their fingers, and use their body weight to pull the doors down revealing the contents inside. This is where side door keepers can help, providing you with a type of lock designed to stop peeling attacks.

Side door keepers are installed to the front end of your side loading door, to prevent your door from being pulled off its track. They are super easy and simple to install, and prevent unauthorised access by door peeling by adding an additional layer of strength and security to your commercial vehicles side door.
