Van slams
If you're a courier, or any other tradesperson that requires a van for your business, then having the best security for your vehicle is crucial. If your equipment and tools are stolen, it could have a major impact on your income. It's important that you consider the various van security systems that are available.
A slamlock is one the most sought-after van security options. It locks the door of your van automatically as soon as you shut it. This is ideal for couriers or other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors as they are working at the back. This also reduces the possibility that they'll overlook locking the van door and this can happen if they are busy or distracted.
A deadlock is a type of van security that works differently than the slamlock. The reason for this is that a thief would have to open the deadlock physically with a key or by turning a knob. They can't just slam it shut. This makes it difficult for thieves to rob quickly because they will have to spend time and effort in order to do so.
A third type of van security is an anti-peel kit which protects the lock cylinder from a method known as 'peeling'. This method uses weight to open the door on the side. This could damage the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are a simple, yet effective way to guard against this kind of attack.
