A simple way to enhance
vehicle security
» » THEFT OF TOOLS OR
cargo from vans is all too
common an occurrence. It’s
not just a matter of replacing
the items that have been stolen
– van break-ins can leave
people unable to work, behind
on their schedules, losing
contracts and facing higher
insurance costs.
Vehicle manufacturers are
improving security on their
latest models, but there are
huge numbers of vans and
light goods vehicles on the
road which have inadequate
protection. You’ll see vans out
there with clumsy hasps and
padlocks which offer only a
mild deterrent but plenty of
hassle for the driver.
SMART & PRACTICAL
New to the UK is the Vanlock,
a universal auxiliary lock
developed by Czech security
specialists Tokoz®. The beauty
of the Vanlock is that it can be
retrofitted to almost any rear or
sliding vehicle door. It’s practical
with a dual slam-latching and
locking action, which means the
driver isn’t constantly fumbling
for keys or risking things by
leaving the vehicle unlocked
‘for a minute’. That slam-locking
technology is backed up by
an internal emergency escape
toggle. Vanlock is purpose made
for the job, strong and corrosion
resistant with stainless steel
components and a Makrolon®
cylinder cover. It’s available
in black or white, to suit most
vehicle livery or fleet colour
schemes.
The Vanlock utilises a euro
profile single cylinder so they
can be masterkeyed into an
existing Tigris master keyed
system, they can be keyed
alike or simply keyed to differ.
For those operating a fleet or
working in situations where
varying security levels are
required, the Vanlock can be
part of a larger fleet master-key
system.
AND THERE’S MORE
With vehicle security a
major issue, Vanlock is sure to
be a hit, but it is only part of a
wider range of Tokoz® security
