The Tibbe lock system makes use of rotating discs and a sidebar that prevent break-ins. Each disc is positioned according to the angled cuts on the key blade. This system is extremely robust and resistant to picking.
High-security locks
The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to attack by thieves who can use several methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder and they may also target the central locking system. A high-security lock can offer security against these attacks and decrease the risk of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock that's engineered to withstand these types of attacks. It's easy to install and requires no drilling, which preserves the original mechanism setup. It can be keyed to match any other lock, and then fitted with the Slamlock, so that doors automatically lock when they are closed and will only be unlocked using a security code.
High-security locks are an excellent addition to your van. They offer an additional layer of protection against theft and break-ins. They can be expensive to install, and also difficult to replace if the key is lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a high-tech security device that significantly enhance the security of vehicles. They are an extra layer of security that works in conjunction with factory locks and are invulnerable to common methods of breaking-in, such as bumping or picking. They also serve as a visual deterrent, and can deter criminals from pursuing your vehicle in the first place, because of their complexity and strength.
Deadlocks are activated by placing an anchor bolt in a bracket installed on the door's interior and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, which creates a second locking point which is harder for thieves. We offer a variety of deadlocks that are compatible with the Ford Transit. These include hook locks as well as high-security models with an anti-drilling and pick-cylinder. They are perfect for drivers who are owner-operators who need to be able to change their locks when using their vehicle for work.
The L4V Slamlock is another popular option. This is a great option for couriers and tradespeople who are often unable to lock their vehicles manually. Once shut, the slamlock locks automatically and is only opened with an access key that is secure, which prevents theft of goods or equipment. It's also adorned with a plastic escutcheon, which makes it a powerful visual deterrent to criminals.
In addition to the above, we also offer high-security locks for transit drivers' doors which guard against the popular method of "peel and steal" attack. Criminals will crowbar the door and use pressure to peel off the skin and gain access to the vehicle's cargo area. This high-security driver door lock for transit is designed for this kind of attack. It is available for both the cab and rear doors.
Van van
If you are a courier, tradesman or other business that uses a van to conduct their business, having the best security for your vehicle is essential. You might lose your tools and equipment if they are stolen from your vehicle, which could cause a major disruption to your business. This is the reason it's essential to research the various kinds of locks and van security systems available for you to consider.
One of the most popular van security options is a slam lock, which automatically locks your van door as soon as it closes. This is ideal for couriers and other tradesmen who need to keep their van doors secured when they work in the back. This also reduces the possibility that they'll not lock the van door and this can occur if they are busy or distracted.
A deadlock is another type of van security that functions differently than a lock that slams. The reason is that thieves will need to unlock the deadlock by using a key or by turning a knob. They can't just slam it shut. This means that thieves will be much less likely to get away with a quick theft, as they'll need to invest the time and effort to complete the process.
Anti-peel kits are a third type of van safety. They safeguard the lock cylinder against the method of 'peeling.' This method involves leveraging weight against the side load door to open it. This can damage the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes and other valuable items. The anti-peel kit can be a simple and effective method to safeguard your van against this type of attack.
All Locked Up Safe has experts who can tell you more about these options. Our team can guide you to the most suitable option for your needs and we will supply and fit them for you as well. We can also install shielding on your van to safeguard the locking mechanisms inside and wiring looms.

A deadlock is yet another popular van security option. It operates independently of the locking mechanism. It can be placed higher in the door to add security. It also serves as an effective visual deterrent. It can be combined with a kit of hasps that strengthens the door frame.
