Deadlocks The cost of a security lock could appear expensive, but when you consider the consequences that a break-in could have on your business – such as the loss of expensive equipment and potential damage to your van – the price is well worth paying.

A deadlock is designed to be put on the cab and rear doors of your vehicle. It is independent of the locks provided by the manufacturer and adds security to the doors. They work by extending a bolt across the mechanism directly into an internal receiving bracket, bolstering the security of your vehicle. In addition, they are much harder to deactivate than hook locks and slam locks deadlocks since they require manual operation. In recent years, thieves have been employing a technique called 'Peel and steal' to access the van's load space. The thieves will crowbar the door and apply pressure to “peel” it back which allows access to the contents. Install your deadlocks for your van at the highest level possible to reduce the chance of. In addition As an additional measure, many locks have a built-in security feature called a lock shield. It is a substantial metal plate that rests on the top of the cylinder and stops the lock from being forced. This is a great security measure for those who would otherwise want to gain entry through the key or lock. A catalytic converter lock is an alternative option for those who are worried about the theft of their van's precious metals. These locks, which transform pollutants into less harmful gasses are targets for thieves, as they contain precious metals that can be traded on the black market. The good news is that there are now catalytic converter locks available on the market that can be fitted to the exterior of your van and similar to a deadlock serve as a powerful protection against burglaries.

Door sensors The door sensors are a vital part of van security. They can alert fleets of possible thefts by sending an instant alert to the dashboard as well as to the driver's application when doors to cargo open unexpectedly. This allows fleets to act swiftly to stop the loss of valuable goods while also preventing waste of perishable items and unforeseen deliveries. There are a variety of kinds of door sensors, including pull-apart sensors, recessed sensors and door-mounted sensors. Each type of sensor offers its own advantages and advantages. Door sensors all use the same basic design in order to determine whether the door for cargo has been closed or opened. The setting and environment in which the sensor has been placed will have an effect on the performance of the sensor. The presence of direct sunlight or heat sources, for example can affect the range and accuracy of the sensor. Sensors' ability to detect motion could be affected by ambient noise levels. For optimum performance, it's important to check and clean your door sensors. Dust and debris could block the magnetic pull that connects the two blades in the reed switch, which can prevent the sensor from working. To prevent this, wipe the sensor down after every use. Also, it is recommended to regularly check the batteries of your wireless door sensors, as dead batteries can stop them from triggering an alarm. Cargo van security systems that feature door sensors provide the highest level of security against theft of cargo and tampering. They usually include drill-free stainless steel locking shackles and are designed to secure cargo doors and the cylinder locks that cover them. This prevents thieves from accessing the cylinder lock and tampering with it. They can also be integrated with geofencing to notify fleets of any unusual activity. These systems can also assist in optimizing the storage space of warehouses. They can help identify high-risk areas for instance, those that are near the entrance of the building or at the loading dock. They can be improved by implementing measures such as additional lighting, cameras and security doors. Alarms Thefts pose a threat to all drivers, but they're particularly a issue for commercial van owners. Many are seeking ways to improve the security of their vans. The right steps can help them save money on insurance. There are plenty of products available that can make it harder for thieves to break into a van for cargo. For example door handle protectors which are stronger and more difficult to remove than factory-supplied handles are a simple but effective deterrent. Door sensors can also sound an alarm if someone tries to open your vehicle. This can deter any lowlife. Certain companies also offer an array of additional accessories for vans, like locks with slamplate (made from stainless steel and designed to be tough to pick) as well as the loom guards (which stop easy access to wiring) and anti-pick Cylinder locks (which are virtually impossible to break into). The more security features are in place, the less likely it is that your van will be targeted. If you'd like to take things a step further, there are alarms and trackers which can help you locate your van again after it was stolen. These devices are not 100% guaranteed to perform as they should. It's best to consult a specialist to find out the best option for you. The enhancement of your van's security could cost money, but it's worth it. In addition to helping you save on your van insurance, it will protect any tools or equipment that you keep inside. If you can't take your equipment with you then a secure storage container that bolts to the ground will help. It's also recommended to park your vehicle in a secure and well-lit area overnight, and then try to reverse it up against the wall or something similar to minimize the chance of a scuffle on the rear or side doors. A sign that reads “no tools in this van for the duration of the night” could also be a deterrent. Alternatively, taking out an insurance policy specifically for tools will provide a financial safety for theft.
