Thieves often target parked vans overnight or while on-site, causing costly damage and downtime.

Lock4Vans-approved van security systems that protect against forced entry, peeling, and spiking attacks.
Whether you’re a tradesperson, courier, or fleet operator, we’ll help you secure your van and livelihood with expertly fitted locks and reinforcements.

We install the full range of Lock4Vans security products, including:
- Hook Locks – Heavy-duty hooks that engage directly into the body frame, stopping peeling or levering attacks.
- Deadlocks – Key-operated locks that work independently from your van’s central locking for strong overnight protection.
- Slam Locks – Automatically lock when the door closes — ideal for couriers and delivery drivers.
- Anti-Peel Kits – Reinforce door edges to stop crowbar or peeling attempts.
- Spike Shields – Stainless-steel plates that prevent drilling or spiking near door handles.
All installations are completed by a Lock4Vans-approved, DBS-checked, and fully insured locksmith, with a full parts and labour guarantee.
Van Spiking Protection in Barking
“Van spiking” — when thieves punch or drill through a van door panel to access the locking mechanism — is one of the fastest-growing theft methods in East London.
Our
Lock4Vans spike shields are designed to eliminate this threat.
They:
- Reinforce vulnerable door areas
- Block internal lock access
- Cover existing spiking damage
- Deter future break-ins
If your van has already been targeted, we can repair and secure the damage during the same visit.
