High Security Hooklocks
A hook bolt lock case is widely regarded as the most secure solution available against determined thieves who may attempt to gain forced entry by peeling the door open. When the hook bolt is thrown into place it creates a strong barrier, significantly enhancing the overall security of the vehicles door. This locking mechanism not only deters potential intruders but also provides the van owner greater peace of mind, regarding the security and protection of their van and its contents.

How a van deadlock works
Van deadlocks function similarly to a Chubb front door lock, providing an essential layer of security for your vehicle. To secure the door, simply insert the key and turn it completely, which will allow the deadbolt or hook bolt to extend firmly into the door frame. To unlock the door, turn the key in the opposite direction. When you do this, the door will remain in an unlocked position until you turn the key again. It is important to note that van deadlocks operate independently from the vehicle's central locking system, thereby enhancing security for both your vehicle and its valuable contents. Additionally, all locks in the system use the same key for added convenience.
