Van Locks Downham – Protect Your Van from Theft and Spiking Attacks
Are You Looking for Extra Protection for Your Van and Tools?
Vans in Downham are increasingly being targeted by thieves. Unfortunately, tools are being stolen from vans all across London and Kent, including Lewisham, Orpington, Croydon, Bromley, Dartford, and Sidcup.
One of the most common methods used by criminals today is “van spiking” — where thieves puncture the bodywork near the lock to access the internal mechanism and open the door.
At The Key Locksmith, we fit advanced Locks 4 Vans security products — including stainless steel spike protectors designed specifically for your van’s make and model.
These external shields prevent anyone from spiking your van and gaining entry through the internal lock system.
If your van has already been attacked or spiked,
spike shield protectors are the ideal solution to
cover the damaged area and stop it from happening again.

Anti-Peel Brackets for Maximum Van Door Protection
Criminals often use the “peel and steal” method — pulling down the top corner of a van door to force it open and reach inside. This simple but effective attack can give thieves access to your tools in seconds.
Anti-Peel Brackets are specifically designed to protect against this type of break-in. Independent testing on a van side door has shown that fitting these brackets provides up to 3,000% extra resistance against peeling attacks.
At The Key Locksmith, we recommend fitting Anti-Peel Brackets on the rear end of the side-loading door, combined with an L4V Hook Lock on the opposite side. This combination gives your van the highest level of protection against both peeling and forced entry attempts.
