High-security locks
The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is prone to attack by thieves who can use several methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder and they may also target the central locking system. A high-security lock can defend against these attacks, reducing the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL is an exact replacement for the driver's door lock that's engineered to withstand these types of attacks. It is easy to install, and does not require drilling. This preserves the original mechanism setup. It can be made to match any other lock and fitted with a Slamlock, so that doors will automatically lock when closed and can only be unlocked using the security code.
High-security locks are a great addition to a van. They offer an additional layer of security against theft and break-ins. However they can be costly to install and complicated to replace in the event of losing the key.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a high-tech security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They add an extra layer of protection that is used in conjunction with factory locks and are invulnerable to common break-in methods such as bumping or picking. They also serve as a visual deterrent and can help prevent criminals from pursuing your vehicle in the first place, because of their complexity and strength.
Deadlocks are activated by putting an anchor bolt in a bracket that is mounted on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key, and creates another locking point that's more difficult for thieves to break. We offer a range of deadlocks that are different for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security versions that have an anti-drill feature and pick cylinder. These are great for owners who require flexibility when using their vehicle to work.

Another form of van security is a deadlock, which works differently to the lock that slams. The reason for this is that a burglar would need to unlock the deadlock physically with a key or by turning a knob. They aren't able to simply slam it shut. This makes it more difficult for thieves to steal fast as they will need spend time and effort in order to do so.
