Van Lock Shields – Internal & External Protection for Van Locking Mechanisms
Protect and Reinforce Your Van’s Locks with Stainless Steel or Powder-Coated Security Shields
When it comes to van security, it's not just the locks that need protection — it’s the entire locking mechanism and surrounding panel. That’s why we supply and install internal and external van lock shields: tough, precision-fit reinforcements that defend your van’s most vulnerable areas from attack.
Available in either a brushed stainless steel or durable black powder-coated finish, these shields are tailored to both prevent future break-ins and repair or disguise previous damage — all while giving your van a clean, professional finish.
What Are Van Lock Shields?
Van lock shields are metal security plates fitted around the lock barrel, door latch, or handle area — designed to strengthen the thin factory metal commonly targeted by thieves using screwdrivers, drills, or puncture tools.
These shields help to:
- Stop thieves from puncturing the door skin
- Reinforce high-risk areas and reduce the chance of lock disabling
Types of Lock Shields:
Internal Lock Shields (Recommended)
-
Installed inside the door panel behind the factory lock
- Reinforces the locking area from the inside without changing the van’s exterior
-
Our most recommended option for effective, discreet protection
- Ideal for use with aftermarket locks like deadlocks and slamlocks
External Lock Shields
- Fitted visibly around the exterior of the lock barrel or handle
-
Best suited for vans that have already been attacked, offering a quick and cost-effective alternative to bodyshop repairs
- Also useful for those wanting a strong visual deterrent against opportunistic theft
- Available in stainless steel or black powder-coated finish for a sleek appearance
