Which type of van lock is the most secure?

By Aimee Joseph


For a lot of people, their van is the most important bit of equipment they own - without it there's no way to go about their daily business. Furthermore, the items kept in your van are also usually very expensive. It's no surprise then that manufacturers are always looking for a way to make locks for vans that are more secure, putting you at peace of mind and keeping your valuables safe from criminals.

It can be hard finding the most secure van lock however because there are so many different models to choose from. Before trying to find a specific van lock you should think more generally about what type of van lock will be best for you - slamlocks, deadlocks and diablocks are just a few types.

A slamlock is a type of lock that works automatically, without any input needed from a driver, when a door is closed. This could be useful in a variety of situations, such as if you were a courier that needed to be in and out of your van and often had your hands full making it difficult to lock the door manually. Meanwhile, if your van usually contains highly expensive items that it's crucial to keep safe, the guarantee of a lock every time your door shuts could be priceless.

If you don't want a door that will automatically lock there are other options, such as a deadlock. While your van may already have a deadlock you might want something more secure, especially if you use cannot remove items from your vans at night and are worried about criminals with the luxury of time.

Finally, there are diablocks. These locks are invisible to the outside eye, and can be operated both automatically and remotely. This makes them very attractive to larger businesses that may have a fleet of vans. Within these different categories of locks there will be a range of different manufacturers and models - how secure you can make your van will depend on how much you can invest on a quality lock.
