Van Locks Abbey Wood – Lock4Vans Installation & Van Security

By The Key Locksmith

Secure Your Van & Tools in Abbey Wood

Trades vans across Abbey Wood, Thamesmead, and Woolwich are frequent targets for overnight and on-site theft.
If your van is critical to your business, upgrading to Lock4Vans security is one of the most effective ways to stop forced entry and protect your tools, stock, and livelihood.

At The Key Locksmith, we install Lock4Vans-approved upgrades engineered to defeat peeling, prying, and spiking attacks.
We professionally fit hook locks, deadlocks, slam locks, anti-peel kits, and stainless-steel spike shields with tidy finishes and guaranteed workmanship.

Van Security Upgrades We Install

Hook Locks – Heavy-duty hooks engaging the van’s body frame to resist levering and peeling.
Deadlocks – Stand-alone, key-operated locks for robust overnight protection.
Slam Locks – Doors lock automatically on closure — ideal for couriers and multi-drop routes.
Anti-Peel Kits – Reinforce upper door edges to stop crowbar and peel-and-pry attacks.
Spike Shields – Stainless-steel plates that guard the handle area from drilling and “van spiking”.

All parts are Lock4Vans-approved, fitted by a DBS-checked, fully insured locksmith, and covered by a full parts & labour guarantee.

Stop Van Spiking in Abbey Wood

“Van spiking” — drilling or punching the panel near the handle to reach the latch — is a fast, quiet attack used by thieves.
Our Lock4Vans spike shields prevent this by:

• Reinforcing vulnerable door panels
• Blocking access to internal linkages
• Covering previous damage
• Acting as a visible deterrent

If your van has already been targeted, we can repair and reinforce the area in the same visit.
