You might lose your tools and equipment in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, which could cause a major disruption to your business. It's important that you consider the various types of van security systems available.
One of the most popular van security options is a slam locking device, which locks your van door once it closes. This is ideal for couriers or other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors while they work at the back. This also decreases the likelihood that they'll not lock the door of their van, which can occur when they are distracted or busy.
A deadlock is a type of van security that functions differently than the Slamlock. The reason for this is that a burglar would need to unlock the deadlock with a key or by turning the knob. They can't just slam it shut. This makes it difficult for thieves to rob quickly as they will need spend time and effort to get the lock open.
Anti-peel kits are a third type of van safety. They protect the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This technique involves using weight against the side load door to open it. This could damage the door, allowing thieves to gain access to your toolboxes, or other valuable items. The anti-peel kit can be a simple and effective way to protect your vehicle from this kind of attack.
