Why It's Important to Invest in Van Door Security Vans are the most frequent target for thieves, as they typically contain special equipment and power tools which can be sold. This is why it's important to invest in security for the van doors. Slam locks automatically lock as soon as the door is shut, making them ideal for couriers who may not remember to lock their vans between deliveries. Deadlocks The cost of a security lock could seem expensive however when you consider the consequences that a burglary could have on your business, including the loss of expensive tools and potential damage to your van – the price is well worth paying. You can make an informed decision regarding the best security options for your van door by making the effort to compare and comprehend the different options. Review and testimonials of other owners of vans give you the first-hand experience that can help you in selecting the right product. Designed to be used on both the cab and rear doors of your van, a deadlock works independently from the locks supplied by your manufacturer and adds extra strength to the doors. They work by directing the bolt across the mechanism and into an internal receiving bracket. This improves your vehicle's safety. They are also much more difficult to deactivate than hook deadlocks or slamlocks because they require manual operation. In recent years, criminals have used a method called “Peel and steal” to gain access to the van's load space. This involves crowbarring open the door, then applying pressure to push it back, allowing thieves to gain access to the contents. This is why it's important to place your van's deadlocks in the most secure position possible, to reduce the risk of attacks like this. In addition As an additional measure, many locks come with a built-in security feature known as a lock shield. It is a heavy metal plate that is placed on the top of the cylinder and prevents the lock from being forced. This is a fantastic way to stop criminals from trying to use force to open the lock or key. A catalytic converter lock is a different option for those concerned about the theft of their van's precious metals. These devices, which turn gases into less harmful ones are an ideal target for thieves as they contain precious metals, which can be sold in the black market. The good news is that there are now catalytic converter locks available on the market which can be installed to the outside of your vehicle and similar to a deadlock can be used as a protection against burglaries.

Door sensors The door sensors are a vital part of van security. They can notify fleets of potential thefts by sending an immediate notification to the dashboard and to the driver's application when cargo doors suddenly open. This allows fleets to act quickly and prevent loss of valuable goods, while also preventing the waste of perishable goods and deliveries that are not planned. There are a variety of types of door sensors that include pull-apart sensors, door-mounted sensors, and recessed sensors. Each type of sensor offers distinct advantages and benefits. All door sensors utilize the same basic design in order to determine whether the door for cargo has been opened or closed. The location and the environment in which the sensor is situated can have a significant impact on its performance. The presence of direct sunlight or heat sources, like can limit the range and accuracy of the sensor. Additionally, an ambient noise level could hinder the ability of a sensor to detect motion. To ensure maximum performance, it is important to regularly check and clean your door sensors. Dust and debris can interfere with the magnetic pull that connects the two blades of a reed switch, preventing it from triggering. To avoid this, wipe the sensor down after every use. Make sure to check the batteries of your door sensors that are wireless regularly, as they can prevent them from activating an alarm when the batteries are depleted. Cargo van security systems that include door sensors provide the highest levels of protection against theft of cargo as well as tampering. They usually have drill-free stainless steel locking shackles and are designed to secure cargo doors and the cylinder locks that surround them. This keeps thieves from getting access to the cylinder lock and tampering with it. Furthermore, they can be integrated with vehicle geofencing to alert fleets to unusual activities. Moreover they can be used to help improve the storage space of warehouses. They can help identify areas that are at risk, like those that are near the entry point to the building or the loading dock. Then, they can be enhanced with additional lighting, cameras and security doors. Alarms Thefts are a risk to all drivers, but are particularly problematic for van owners. Many are seeking ways to improve the security of their vans. The right steps can help them reduce their insurance costs. There are a variety of products on the market that make it more difficult for thieves to break into a van for cargo. For example door handle protectors that are stronger and more difficult to remove than factory-supplied handles, are a simple, but effective deterrent. Door sensors can also sound an alarm whenever someone tries to open your vehicle. This can deter anyone who is a thief. Some companies also provide a range of extra accessories for vans, like locks with slamplate (made out of stainless steel and designed to be hard to pick) as well as weaving guards (which prevent wires from being easily accessible) and anti-pick cylinder locks (which are almost impossible to get into). The more security measures that you have in place the less likely that your vehicle will be targeted. If you'd like to take things a step further, there are alarm systems and trackers that can help you find your vehicle once it was stolen. However, these systems can't be guaranteed to work, so it's a good idea to talk to a specialist about the best options for your needs. It's not cheap, but it is well worth it. Along with aiding you in saving money on your van insurance, it will protect any tools or equipment you keep inside it. If you aren't able to take your gear with you, a secure storage container that bolts to ground can help. It is also recommended to park your vehicle in a place that is well-lit and secure at night. Try to reverse the van against a wall in order to minimize the risk of being attacked at the rear or side doors. A sticker that says “no tools inside this van for the duration of the night” could also serve as a deterrent. A tool insurance policy that is specifically designed for your needs is another option to provide financial security in the event of theft.
