Aftermarket deadlocks for a van?

[bigegg]

I have inherited my BIL's 2013 transit, and I'm wanting to fit some aftermarket locks to the side + rear doors.
Anyone got recommendations for locks - or a fitting service?

I realise that locks won't stop them - but I'd rather they went next door

If you're after the ones that go on the outside of the doors padlock style I have one of these on mine.

Very well made and does well in the tests. A lot of the cheaper ones are easily destroyed if you watch them being tested on youtube.

I've fitted about 20 sets of these last year , not overly impressed, quality varies alot, some come caked in grease some completely dry. Unless you lubricant the key barrel weekly they so get sticky or seize up, also got one with a snapped key after it jammed up.

Probably a case of getting the best you can afford

@pondy What sort of money were they?

Garrison or similar, find a local fitter, think I paid about 60 to have them fitted while I was working

Not overly sure, i think was around £150 a set. Some more as for instance sprinters had a lock on every door where as connects only has them on the load doors.
work brought them and I had to fit them all. I

I met a couple who had auto locks on their van that unlocked with a fob which I thought was smart

That's the same sort which is fitted to the back door already.
Not impressed with it, tbh.

Take 10 mins each day to take your tools out and back in in the morning...then park up with the doors unlocked at night, you keep your tools and your van does not resemble a tuna fish tin at 6AM in the morning
