There are two types of locking mechanism that can help you secure your van. These are slam locks and deadlocks. If you require a more secure method, we also offer Armaplate as a way of securing your vehicle.

Slam locks
Slam locks ensure that the door of your vehicle automatically locks when it closes. This is particularly useful for multÃ-drop drivers and couriers.
For those regularly exiting the vehicle, locking it manually every time can be time-consuming, especially when while holding a delivery. In an unlocked car, goods can get stolen in the time it takes to make the delivery, so a secure and handsfree method of locking your vehicle’s doors is crucial. With a slam lock, the door is unlocked with a key but locks when the driver pushes it closed behind them. They can also be bypassed from the inside, to avoid the risk of getting locked inside.
This makes them a convenient solution for those who are always on the move. Our slam locks work together with your vehicle manufacturers locking system, they providing maximum security as well as a straightforward installation.
