The most secure van lock for driver side & passenger side doors on a van is fitting either a slamlock or deadlock.
The main difference is a Van slamlock automatically locks when shutting the door, there is no need for a key to lock the door. Whereas a deadlock requires a key to lock and unlock the door once shut.
Where each lock is fitted is different – a van slamlock can be main fitted to a van side door + rear door, whereas deadlocks are commonly used on side doors.
Van deadlocks are a good visual deterrent and offer some level of security against opportunist thief. However, fitting a hook bolt deadlock offers a much higher level of security against an attack.
