Anti-Peel Kits are an essential defense against the alarming rise of the 'peel and steal' attack. With criminals targeting vehicles by peeling the side load door open, these kits act as a powerful deterrent. Placed on the front edge of the door, they provide an extra layer of protection to prevent door peeling. For optimal security, these kits are ideally used alongside hooked deadlocks installed on the high rear end of the side loading door. When combined, these measures offer a formidable defense against break-ins, ensuring peace of mind for vehicle owners and effectively thwarting the increasingly common 'peel and steal' attack.

When it comes to bolstering the security of your van, one tried and tested method is the installation of additional van security measures, specifically deadlocks. Deadlocks are strategically placed in the most advantageous locations, serving as a crucial line of defense against potential attacks. These robust locks are especially useful in situations where Hooklocks may not be viable or practical. By incorporating deadlocks into your van's security system, you create an extra layer of protection, making it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access. With their proven track record, deadlocks offer peace of mind, ensuring the safety of your valuable assets.

Van slam locks provide enhanced security by automatically locking the door when shut, reducing the risk of opportunistic theft.

Slam locks can be a beneficial addition to your van, particularly for courier services where the need to relock the van immediately after the door is closed is essential. These locks provide added security and efficiency, ensuring that the van is always secure, even during quick stops and frequent deliveries. With slam locks in place, courier services can operate with peace of mind, knowing that their assets are consistently protected.
