FAQs

What is a Slamlock and how does it work?
A Slamlock automatically
locks when the door shuts, using a high‑security cylinder for re‑entry with the key.

Will I lock my keys inside?
There’s a risk if you close the door without the key. We recommend
key management procedures, spare keys, or combining with other security where appropriate.

Do Slamlocks replace my existing locks?
They use
vehicle‑specific components and may replace or interface with existing mechanisms depending on your model.

Are Slamlocks as strong as Hook Locks?
Slamlocks prioritise
speed and auto‑locking. For maximum resistance to peel‑and‑pry when parked, we often recommend adding a Hook Lock on key doors.

T‑Series Gold vs S‑Series – which should I choose?
T‑Series Gold
offers premium key control and a very smooth action. S‑Series offers great security and value. Both can be keyed‑alike across multiple locks.

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

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

How long does fitting take?
Allow around
45–90 minutes per door, depending on vehicle model and door position.

Does installation affect my warranty or lease?
A correctly installed accessory
typically doesn’t impact warranty, but check lease/finance terms. We can supply installation details for your records.

Do you offer emergency help if a lock is damaged?
Yes — we can assist with
damage, faults or lost keys. Call 07803 721 200 and we’ll advise the quickest option.
