Vehicle Security
Around 100,000 vehicles are stolen every year in the UK. It can take Less than 10 seconds for a thief to gain access and drive away. Almost 30 million vehicles on UK roads. About 28,000 vehicle crimes are reported each month. On average 242 offences per 10,000 vehicles on UK roads. Ford Transit Vans account for 17.6% of stolen vans. The average claim is around £5,091 for stolen tools. It only takes one phone call and we can help you protect your vehicle.
When a van is broken into, it gives access to any tools or equipment in it. If your van was broken into, could you do your job without your van/tools?
Think about how much business and money would be lost in just the first day alone.
Add extra security to your vehicle so you can prevent any loss of earnings, having to purchase extra tools – which you already had, and having to make a claim on your insurance.

Deadlocks
At Coventry Auto Locksmith we are experienced fitters and installers of vehicle security deadlocks. Deadlocks are mainly necessary for commercial vehicles such as vans and trucks where expensive goods, machinery and tools are stored in these vehicles during the day and over night. A deadlock is an extra lock that we install as a secondary security measure to keep both your vehicle and contents safe. The locks are installed neatly and unobtrusive and let’s face it, having two locks is far better than one.
Coventry Auto Locksmith Euro-deadlocks are true deadlocks, they have an internal mechanism which only ‘lifts’ when the correct key is being used to unlock the device and this prevents the lock bolt being pushed back into the lock case. Cheaper ‘deadlocks’ often rely solely on the actual key barrel to provide ‘deadlocking’, resulting in a much lower level of security.
Slam Doors
As well as deadlocks, we also install slam doors in commercial vehicles. A slam door in an installed device that, once a door is shut (both rear and sliding doors), it is locked immediately upon closure, requiring the use of the legitimate key to regain access.
These are ideal for commercial vehicles and more specifically multi drop vans to give peace of mind over the security of your goods.
Armaplate
Completely encasing the vulnerable area around the doorlock and/or handle. On the outside is a tough, but aesthetically appealing stainless steel plate providing an incredibly tough barrier. This is further reinforced by another steel plate on the inside of the door. With the actual doorskin, this forms a triple-barrier of steel between the thief and the contents of your van.
How does it fit? The stainless-steel exterior plate has threaded studs on the reverse side which go through the doorksin and then through the steel backing-plate. These protective layers are then bonded together with 10mm Locknuts, resulting in a virtually impenetrable barrier!
Unlike other devices such as hasp & staples, our security plate has an ultra-slim profile preventing it from being gripped and torn through the weak doorskin. It has no moving parts and will therefore never wear out or stop working. Its stainless steel construction means it will never rust or look untidy. No additional keys are necessary. It requires no action from the driver and will therefore always be doing its job.
In addition to being the best lock-protection device on the market, the security plate will also save you money by acting as a virtual repair after a theft attack has already taken place! When thieves have attacked your vehicle, you would normally be left with an expensive and time-consuming repair at your local bodyshop – but by fitting security plating instead, the device will effectively repair the existing damage and prevent it from happening again!

- Think your car is secure? Think Again

The inside story
Today's modern vehicles use many computer controlled systems, from switching the indicators to managing the engine's performance. Amongst these systems is the car security. When an authorised dealer needs to investigate a problem, specialist equipment can be connected to the OBD port in the car to send and receive electronic information. OBD stands for On Board Diagnostics and is a valuable tool in the right, trusted hands. However the same technology is now freely available to anyone who knows where to look and can be used for other less legitimate purposes.
WARNING!
Organised criminals are using OBD technology to steal your car. All that's required is a low cost piece of electronics which runs key cloning software. Your pride and joy gone in seconds, maybe never to be seen again. Protect your Vehicle with the OBD Blocking Solution.
What is it?
The OBD Blocker simply blocks unauthorised communication through the OBD port to your vehicle. This helps prevent key reprogramming or other unauthorised activities.
How is it installed?
The OBD Blocker comes as a matching pair: a small tag which is attached to your key ring for easy access and a module which is firmly connected to the existing OBD connector in the car.
How does it work?
Think of the Blocker as a switch. Without the matching tag the switch is off, so blocking unauthorised access to your car. To enable access place the tab on the module and the switch will turn on.
