The Tibbe lock utilizes discs that rotate, a sidebar and the locking mechanism to ward off intrusions. Each disc is positioned in accordance with the angled cuts on the blade of the key. This system is extremely durable and resistant to picks.
High-security locks
The standard driver's door lock on the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Transit is prone to theft. Thieves are able to gain access by different methods. The thieves could pick or force the cylinder, and also target the central locking system. A high-security locking system will defend against these types of attacks, and reduce the possibility of theft. The Replock by TVL is a direct replacement for the driver's lock designed to withstand these types of attacks. It's easy to install, and doesn't require drilling. It's still the original mechanism setup. It can be locked with a key that matches any other lock and paired with the Slamlock, so that doors will automatically lock when closed, and are only unlocked by an access code.
High-security locks are an excellent addition to your vehicle, offering an extra layer of protection against theft and break-ins. They can be costly to install and are difficult to replace if keys are lost.
Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a modern security device that increases the security of your vehicle. They provide an additional layer of protection that works in conjunction with the factory locks and are resistant to common methods of breaking-in, such as bumping or picking. Because of their quality and complexity, they can also serve as an effective deterrent to criminals.
Deadlocks are activated by placing the bolt into an attached bracket on the interior door and body panel. The bolt is operated by an external key and creates a second locking point that's more difficult for thieves to get around. We have a variety of different deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security ones that feature an anti-drill and pick cylinder. These are particularly for owner-drivers who require some flexibility when using their vehicle for work.

A deadlock is another type of van security that functions differently than the Slamlock.

A third kind of van security is an anti-peel kit which shields the lock from being damaged by a technique known as 'peeling'. This method involves leveraging weight against the side door to open it.
