Deadlocks
Deadlocks are an advanced security device that significantly enhance the security of a car. They provide an additional layer of security that works with the factory locks.

They also act as a visual deterrent, and can deter criminals from pursuing your vehicle in the first place, because of their complexity and strength.
A deadlock operates by throwing an object into a receiving bracket, which is fitted to the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated using an external key, creating another locking point that is difficult for thieves. We offer a range of deadlocks that are different for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security models that feature an anti-drill and pick cylinder.

They aren't able to simply slam it shut. This will make it harder for thieves to steal quickly because they will have to put in the time and effort to get the lock open.
A third kind of van security is an anti-peel system, which protects the lock from being damaged by a technique known as peeling. This technique involves using weight to open the side-load door. van security doors could cause damage to the door, and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other important items. The anti-peel kits are a easy, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.
