The Tibbe lock utilizes rotating discs, a sidebar and an locking mechanism to stop intrusions. Each disc is positioned according to the angles cut on the key blade. This system is extremely robust and pick resistant.

High-security locks

The standard drivers door lock in the Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom is susceptible to attack by thieves who use a variety of methods to gain access. The thieves can pick or force the cylinder, and they can also attack the central locking system. A high-security lock can offer protection against these types of attacks and reduce the chance of theft. The Replock by TVL, a direct driver's-door lock replacement, is engineered to withstand these kinds of attacks. It's easy to install, and doesn't require drilling. This keeps the original mechanism configuration. It can also be keyed to match other locks, and can be equipped with the Slamlock so that the doors automatically lock every time they close and are only opened with an access key for security.

Security locks with high-security are a great option to add to your vehicle, offering an additional layer of protection against theft and break-ins. However, they can be expensive to install and complex to replace if you lose the key.

Deadlocks

Deadlocks are an advanced security device that greatly improves the security of vehicles. They add an extra layer of security that works with the factory locks. They are resistant to common break-in methods such as bumping or picking. Due to their robustness and complexity, they could also be an effective deterrent for criminals.

Deadlocks are activated by putting the bolt into a bracket installed on the inside of the door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key that creates another locking point that's more difficult for thieves to get around. We offer a range different deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security models with an anti-drill and pick cylinder. These locks are ideally suited to owner-drivers who need a level of flexibility when using their vehicle for work.

Criminals will crowbar the door open and then apply pressure to peel off the skin and gain access to the vehicle's cargo area.

Van slams

If you are a tradesman, courier or other business that utilizes a van to conduct their business, having the best security for your vehicle is vital. You might lose your equipment and tools in the event that they are stolen from your vehicle, and this could be devastating to your business.

One of the most sought-after van security options is a slam locking device, which automatically locks your van's door when it shuts. This is perfect for couriers or other tradesmen that need to lock their van doors while they are working at the back. It also reduces the risk of them not locking the van's doors which could happen if they're busy or distracted.

A deadlock is a different kind of van security that operates differently than a Slamlock. The reason for this is that a burglar would need to open the deadlock physically with a key or by turning a knob. They aren't able to simply slam it shut. This means that thieves are much less likely to succeed in committing a quick theft, as they'll need to put in the time and effort accomplish this.

Another type of van security is an anti-peel system, which protects the lock from being damaged by a technique known as peeling. This method uses weight to open the side-load door. This could damage the door and allow thieves to gain access to your toolboxes or other valuable items. Anti-peel kits are simple, yet effective method to protect against this type attack.
