Best Security for a Work Van Carrying Tools Overnight
How to layer physical security, secure storage and sensible parking when a work van has to carry valuable tools or equipment overnight.
If possible, remove valuable tools
Police guidance recommends taking valuables out of a vehicle. When that is impractical for a working van, the aim should be to create several obstacles rather than relying on one lock.
Layer the protection
Suitable additional locks can strengthen door security, while secure internal storage creates another barrier around tools. Property marking and serial-number records can help identify recovered equipment.
Think about where the van sleeps
A garage or secure compound is preferable where available. Otherwise favour well-lit and overlooked locations and avoid advertising valuable contents.
