Common van attack methods

Peel & Steal

The ‘peel and steal’ attack method is one of the most common for thieves to gain quick access to the vehicle. Pressure is applied to the Vauxhall Vivaro door and using bodyweight the door pulls open.  

Exposing Locking Systems

Locking systems in the Vauxhall Vivaro are being exposed by thieves cutting holes into the side of the vehicle to gain access to the locking cables/rod. By cutting these the door is unlocked, and the contents of the van are exposed.  

Cutting the Loom

Another access point for thieves is the cutting of the loom. Once this has been cut on a Vauxhall Vivaro the van will think it has been in a crash and activate the failsafe, popping all the doors open. 

Opportunist Thieves

This attack method is a lot less destructive but still has the same impact on livelihood. Leaving the vehicle unlocked for even a couple of seconds can give thieves the chance to access the van.  

Unfortunately, there are a number of ways thieves are gaining access to vans, purchasing Citroen Relay van locks will help secure the vehicle along with deterring thieves from attempting a break in.  

Citroen Relay van security options

Van Hooklocks

Offering next level security

Hooklocks are the next level of security deadlocks, working in the same way as deadbolts, but instead throw a hook-style bolt rather than a straight bolt, giving an extra level of protection. The ULTILock Hooklock has been specifically designed and tested to be one of the strongest on the market. Our Hooklock is Secured by Design accredited, meeting the requirements of a Police Preferred Specification, and it was the first van Hooklock to be awarded Gold Standard status by Sold Secure, the UK’s most recognised premier security testing and certification house.

Van Deadlocks

Placed in the best possible location

When the ULTILock Hooklock isn’t practical, we recommend utilising a Deadlock. Deadlocks are a common and popular additional security upgrade and work in the same way as hooklocks, but instead of throwing a hook into a receiving bracket, they throw a straight bolt. Deadlocks are designed to be placed in the best possible location to help prevent an attack.

External Shielding

Preventing and protecting against attacks

External shields are a very popular and effective additional security product, and we manufacture a wide range of shields in both stainless steel and black powder coated finishes. External shields can be used as a cost-effective repair method for vans that have already suffered an attack, but also act as a visual deterrent to stop the attack from happening in the first place.

Slamlocks

Ideal for courier drivers when locking is essential every time

Integrating with the OEM locking mechanism, when the van door shuts, the van is automatically locked without the need for any user interaction. The Slamlock deters opportunistic thieves and is ideal for multi-drop delivery drivers, and drivers who have high-value goods inside and locking is essential every time.
