Our Thatcham-approved van locks are fitted from £179.00 (+VAT) and take around an hour per door to install. They work on most vans, add a much stronger layer of protection, and could help lower your insurance premiums. A quick upgrade that makes a big difference.
These prices include professional fitting, rust treatment, and keys keyed alike. You also get a certificate to present to your insurer if needed.

Top notch! I had a second key made at an independent VW specialist a couple of years ago but they could not get the remote to work, nor give me a proper diagnosis and still charged a lot of money. Rhys came today and now I have a second key with a remote that works! Now I can sell my campervan with two fully functioning keys. Communication by WhatsApp has been very prompt and having contacted Rhys yesterday afternoon he was here today at 0815. Very professional and a great bloke. Gave me a lot of useful info as well. Will always use Rhys for any future auto key issues. Highly recommended. Lesson learned, always use a specialist!

Finding yourself locked out, needing a new key, or worrying about van security can be stressful. Our
FAQs give you quick, straightforward answers so you know exactly what to expect every time.
Work vans often carry thousands of pounds’ worth of tools and equipment. Standard locks can be vulnerable to thieves who know how to quickly break in. Adding a secondary lock, like a deadlock or slamlock, protects your van and the valuables inside - and can even help with insurance cover.
A slamlock automatically locks your van door when it’s closed, making it ideal for delivery drivers or tradespeople who stop frequently. You can still deactivate it from the inside, so you won’t lock anyone in by accident.
A deadlock is an extra lock operated with a separate key. Its bolt extends deep into the door frame, making it much harder to pry open. Deadlocks give your van a strong layer of defence against forced break-ins.
Thatcham-approved slamlocks start from £179.00 (+VAT), while deadlocks start from £199.00 (+VAT). These prices include professional installation and ensure that your van meets the highest security standards.
We can supply and install locks for just about any make or model of vehicle, including Ford, Volkswagen, Citroen, Peugeot, Vauxhall, and more. Whatever your vehicle, we’ll fit a security solution that works for you.
We complete most lock installations on-site within a couple of hours. We’ll be able to give you a clear estimate when we inspect your van so that you can plan your day.
Absolutely. Thatcham-approved locks are recognised by all leading insurers and can help protect your tools and equipment if your van is targeted.
