Hook Locks vs Deadlocks – Which Should You Choose?
A straightforward comparison of hook locks and deadlocks, what each one does and which type may suit the way you use your van.
Hook locks
A hook lock uses a hook-shaped bolt that engages into a keep. The hooked engagement can be useful on suitable van doors where resistance to separating the door from its frame is desirable.
Deadlocks
A van deadlock adds a separately operated mechanical locking point beyond the vehicle's factory central locking. It is a simple additional layer when correctly matched and installed to the vehicle.
Which is best?
There is no universal answer. Door construction, vehicle model, daily use, whether the van makes frequent deliveries and what is stored inside all matter. We can recommend a sensible setup after checking the vehicle.
