How to Replace a Locks 4 Vans (L4V) Lock as the Range Rebrands to Rhino

If your van already has a Locks 4 Vans (L4V) hook lock, deadlock or slam lock fitted and it needs replacing, start by identifying the kit that’s already on the vehicle. The right replacement depends on the van, the door and the original lock kit. If you use one key for several locks, it’s also worth checking whether the replacement can work with that same key.

Why are Locks 4 Vans products appearing under the Rhino name?

Following Rhino Products’ acquisition of Locks 4 Vans, the range is being rebranded under the Rhino name. As the branding changes, you may see Rhino branding on packaging or product listings while the lock fitted to your van still carries the Locks 4 Vans or L4V name.

If you’re looking at a Rhino replacement for an existing L4V lock, ask us to check compatibility before ordering. Even if two locks look similar, the original kit reference and the door position can help us identify the correct part.

Do you need a complete replacement lock or just a component?

If the key has become difficult to turn, the lock is damaged or the door no longer locks as it should, describe what happens when you try to use it. Where a compatible component is available, you may only need to replace part of the existing kit.

If the door has been damaged, include a photo of the area around the lock as well as a close-up of the lock itself. This gives us a clearer picture of what’s fitted and what may need replacing.

What information do we need to identify your L4V lock?

When you contact Garrison Locks, please include:

• Vehicle details — the make, model and year of your van, or its registration number.

• Door position — for example, the side loading door, rear barn doors or driver’s cab door. If your van has two sliding doors, tell us which side.

• Photos — a close-up of the fitted lock and any visible markings, plus a wider photo showing where it sits on the door.

• Details of the fault — tell us what’s happened and whether the key still turns and the door still locks.

• Original order number or kit reference — if you have it, include it so we can check which kit was supplied.

Can a replacement L4V lock work with your existing key?

If one key operates several locks on your van, tell us before ordering. This is known as keyed alike. We can check whether a compatible replacement can be supplied to work with your existing key, depending on the lock and key system fitted.

If you’ve lost your keys, let us know whether you still have a spare or any original key documentation. We can then advise on the options available for your system.

Can you replace just one lock on a van with several L4V locks?

In some cases, yes. If only the side door lock is damaged, for example, we can check whether a suitable replacement is available for that door. If you want to keep using the same key across all doors, mention this when you enquire so we can check compatibility and keying together.
