Van slam locks for frequent stops
Convenient automatic loading-door locking for delivery work.
Slam Locks — automatic locking when the door closes
A slamlock secures a suitable loading door as it shuts, reducing the chance of leaving it unlocked during busy rounds. The driver uses a key to open it again. It is particularly useful for couriers, multi-drop deliveries and tradespeople making frequent stops.
Key features
- The loading door locks automatically on closure, with no extra locking step.
- High-security cylinders offer resistance to drilling and picking attempts.
- Faster day-to-day operation for drivers who regularly open and shut the load area.
- Lock choice and emergency access arrangements should be checked for the intended use.
