Van security should be a top priority for all business owners who drive a van or employ staff who drive vans. A van is so much more than a method of getting from A to B. A van could be your mobile office, your storage unit for tools of your trade, and in many cases, your ability to do your job - therefore your livelihood - depends on your van. Protecting your valuable tools and equipment is crucial, and one of the best ways to do this is by upgrading your van's security with additional locks. Two popular options are slamlocks and deadlocks. But which is right for you? Let's explore the benefits of each.
Slamlocks: Convenience and Speed
Slamlocks offer a fantastic blend of convenience and security. As the name suggests, these locks automatically engage when you slam the door shut. This is a huge advantage for busy professionals who are constantly in and out of their vans. No more fumbling with keys or worrying about forgetting to lock up – the slamlock takes care of it for you. This speed and ease of use can significantly improve your efficiency throughout the day. Plus, knowing your van is automatically secured gives you real peace of mind.
Deadlocks: Robust and Reliable Protection
Deadlocks provide a formidable layer of security. These locks are manually operated and offer a high level of resistance against forced entry. They work independently of the van's existing locking system, creating a physical barrier that deters even the most determined thieves. Deadlocks are particularly effective against methods like "drilling" and "picking," offering robust protection for your valuable contents. Their visible presence can also act as a deterrent, making potential thieves think twice before targeting your van.
The Real Risk: No Extra Security
The biggest risk you can take is not upgrading your van's security at all. Vans without additional security measures are easy targets for thieves. Don't leave your business vulnerable. Investing in either a slamlock or a deadlock is a proactive step towards protecting your livelihood and ensuring your van remains secure.
