Protect Against Van Spiking in Charlton

The spiking method is one of the most common forms of van attack – where thieves pierce the metal near the door lock to access the internal mechanism.

We install Locks 4 Vans stainless-steel spike shield protectors, custom-made for your van’s make and model. These strong exterior shields block thieves from reaching the lock system, protecting your van from spiking and forced entry.

If your van has already been damaged, spike shields can cover the spiked area and prevent it from happening again.

Van Locks & Shielding Protection Systems

Most vans leave the factory with basic or minimal security. Our Locks 4 Vans locks and shielding systems are designed to provide strong resistance against break-ins, prying, and door peeling.

If your keys have been lost or stolen, we can supply replacement keys and remove the old ones from your van’s memory, ensuring your van remains secure.
