It operates with a key and adds an additional layer of security to stop "Peel and Steal" crimes. These locks are affordable and can make you van less attractive to criminals. However, they are not 100% foolproof and should be utilized in conjunction with other van security items such as Anti Peel brackets etc.
Each lock is a specific deadlock, and is designed to fit the specific model and make of the vehicle doors. They work by throwing an hook-style bolt into a bracket attached to the interior bodywork of the car. The bolt latches and hooks onto the bracket, preventing it being twisted or peeled. This is a great method to protect vans from break-ins.
These locks are easy to install and can be installed to both doors to the cab and rear load areas. They are also more visually pleasing than the majority of van security locks fitted externally and have a neat euro cylinder on the outside, with an escutcheon plate surrounding it.

Slam Lock
A slamlock is a security solution that locks your vehicle's doors when you close them. The slam lock stops van thieves who have a plethora of opportunities to take advantage of any errors made by drivers who forget to shut their van doors manually in an ephemeral manner. It also acts as a deterrent to potential criminals.
Commercial slam locks work by working with your van's manufacturer's locks, which automatically lock the door each time it is closed. This is a great option for couriers or multi-drop drivers who are frequently traveling and have a lot of work to do. It saves them from needing keys to lock their vehicles each time.
Once a slam lock is installed, all you need to do is push the handle to the left to activate the lock, and then close the door shut. Then, you can unlock the door using your key, which means you can keep your items and tools safe while on the job. If you want the ultimate van security, it's also recommended to consider a deadlock. This is due to the fact that they provide a superior level of protection since they require more physical effort to penetrate and are also more difficult to break into.
Both types of locks come with their own advantages, but which is best for you depends on how you plan to use your vehicle. A slam lock is ideal for those who often use the back of their vehicles, like couriers or multi-drop drivers, and are more concerned with security of their possessions while traveling. A deadlock is perfect for those who leave their vans in parked for a long period of time and require a secure lock.

If a lock is set to ROW EXCLUSIVE mode, any updates or deletions must be completed before the owner of the lock can release the lock. This prevents deadlocks between concurrent sessions that alter the row.
If a transaction is using a ROW-EXCLUSIVE lock mode and another session attempts to update the identical rows, the first transaction will be notified of a duplicate key error. The other session will need wait until the current transaction has been committed or rolled back before it can gain a ROW SHARE lock on the row.
