Van security

Posted by Peter sellers on December 6, 2024 at 7:59am

Wondered what others are using in the way of physical, not electronic or technological  security devices. We are only concerned with overnight security to deter the the vehicle being stolen and the serious consequences of a complete van and contents going.

Vans are kept in a locked compound with Stoplock pro elite steering locks and yes I know that thieves will just cut the steering wheel so looking at pedal locks, bought one of the market leaders with a 5yr lock guarantee and the lock failed in 10 days! Fortunately in unlocked position.

We just want to add an extra layer of security to the Stoplock by physical means so that scumbags move onto someone elses van !

We run Fiat Ducatos.

    I use a Bulldog wheel clamp on the trailer and those round "Limpet" type locks on the rear and side doors.  We're in a bad area for Pikies driving past and nicking anything thats not bolted down so this security has worked well for many years.  Problem with a "locked compound" might be they're able to use an anglegrinder without worrying about the sound.

    I was lucky... always able to park the vehicles up the end of a locked long gravel driveway - with bright PIR floodlights
