Primary Calls‑to‑Action

Trust cues
Local, mobile, fully insured • Neat, model‑specific installs • T‑Series Gold & S‑Series cylinders • Keyed‑alike options for fleets



At a glance

  • Independent deadlock — operates on its own key; separate to factory central locking.
  • Hook‑shaped bolt — engages a reinforced keep to help stop peel & steal and jemmy attacks.
  • Ideal for side & rear doors — high or low positions, vehicle‑specific brackets.
  • Keyed‑alike convenience — run multiple locks from one key.
  • Clean, discreet installation — trims and finishes chosen to complement your van.



Benefits

  • Stronger forced‑entry resistance
    The hook bolt physically “catches” behind a reinforced keep, making it harder to spread or peel door edges.
  • Independent from OEM locking
    Works on a separate key—so common bypasses via central locking electronics or door wiring won’t defeat it.
  • Flexible positioning
    Typical installs protect the         side‑loading door (high or low) and rear barn doors.
  • Day‑to‑day friendly
    Smooth, reliable action with external high‑security cylinder and tidy escutcheon.
  • Great for single vans or fleets
    Keyed‑alike     sets available across multiple locks and compatible L4V products.

  • External cylinder with robust escutcheon
  • Reinforced keep, matched to vehicle door/frame
  • Left/right door kits • high/low fitting options

FAQs

What is a Hook Lock and how does it work?
A separate, mechanical deadlock that throws a hook‑shaped bolt into a reinforced keep on the door frame. Because it’s independent of the van’s central locking, it adds a powerful extra barrier against forced entry.

T‑Series Gold vs S‑Series – which should I choose?
T‑Series Gold is the premium dimple‑key option with excellent key control and a very smooth action. S‑Series delivers great security and value with a familiar key profile. Both can be keyed‑alike across multiple locks.

Can you key my locks alike?
Yes. We can key Hook Locks alike to each other and to compatible L4V products so you carry one key.

Do you fit at my home or depot?
Yes. We’re a mobile van‑security specialist based in Orpington, covering Bromley, Kent and South East London.

How many keys are supplied?
Typically three keys are supplied as standard plus a key/security card for controlled spares.

Will installation affect my vehicle?
Installs are carefully positioned with vehicle‑specific brackets and quality fixings; trims and finishes complement your van’s look.

Which doors should I secure first?
Most owners start with the side‑loading door and rear barn doors, as these edges are commonly targeted. We’ll confirm the best high/low positions for your exact van.

How long does fitting take?
Allow roughly 45–90 minutes per door depending on vehicle model and position. We’ll give you a clearer estimate once we know your van.

Will you need to drill my doors?
Yes — a professional fit uses neat, precise fixings and a reinforced keep. We rust‑protect all cut edges and finish with tidy trims/escutcheons for a clean look.

Does this affect my vehicle warranty or lease?
A correctly installed accessory typically doesn’t impact warranty. If you’re unsure, check your lease/finance terms. We can supply installation details on request.

Are the cylinders anti‑pick / anti‑drill?
Both T‑Series Gold and S‑Series are high‑security cylinders engineered to resist common attack methods. T‑Series Gold offers premium key control and durability.

Hook Lock vs Deadlock vs Slamlock – what’s the difference?
A Hook Lock throws a hook‑shaped bolt into a reinforced keep and is independent of the factory locks. A traditional Deadlock uses a straight bolt. A Slamlock locks automatically when the door shuts (great for couriers) but changes day‑to‑day use. We’ll help you choose the right mix.

Can you combine this with other van security?
Yes — we often pair Hook Locks with door shielding/anti‑peel kits, latch/loom guards, OBD protection and more for layered security.

What if I lose my keys?
Keep your key code/security card safe. With it, we can arrange controlled spares. If codes aren’t available, we can replace cylinders and re‑key your locks.

Can I have one key for everything (and for multiple vans)?
Yes — we can supply keyed‑alike sets for one van or across a fleet where compatible.

Can you remove or transfer the locks when I sell the van?
We can de‑install on request. Re‑use may be possible with a vehicle‑specific fitting kit; we’ll advise case‑by‑case.

How do I care for the locks?
Occasionally clean the escutcheon and apply a light, quality lock lubricant to the cylinder (not oil). Avoid high‑pressure washers directly at the cylinder.

Are they weather‑resistant?
Yes — components and fixings are designed for everyday commercial use. We also treat cuts and use corrosion‑resistant fixings during install.

Will I get paperwork for insurance?
Yes — we provide a receipted invoice detailing the Locks 4 Vans Hook Lock installation and door positions.

How much does it cost?
Price depends on van model, doors secured and cylinder choice (T‑Series Gold or S‑Series). Call 07803 721 200 or request a fast quote for exact pricing.

Do you offer emergency help if a lock is damaged?
As professional locksmiths, we can assist with damage, faults or lost keys — call us and we’ll advise the quickest option.
