Security Van Security Solutions protect your commercial vehicle

Looking for reliable Security Van Security Solutions? Vans are stolen at alarming rates across the UK. The Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Volkswagen Crafter are among the most targeted models. Unlike car thieves who may want the vehicle itself, van thieves often want the tools and equipment inside – which can be worth £10,000-£20,000. LockCar provides professional mobile immobiliser installation for vans and commercial vehicles UK-wide.

Van theft risks and why vans are targeted

Vans present a different theft profile to cars. They are often parked on driveways, in residential streets, or at industrial estates overnight – giving thieves time and space to work. Keyless entry systems on newer vans can be defeated by relay attack in the same way as car systems, and older vans without factory immobilisers are even easier to take.

The contents matter as much as the vehicle. Tradespeople in Wythenshawe and across the UK keep thousands of pounds of tools on board. A single break-in can wipe out a business’s ability to work. That is why Security Van Security Solutions need to address both the van itself and the deterrent effect of a visible, well-installed system.

Protecting your van with a physical immobiliser

A physical relay immobiliser installs a hardware break in the van’s start circuit. It sits outside the CAN bus, outside the OBD port, and outside the factory keyless system, so relay amplifiers and key-programming tools cannot reach it. The van will not start unless the correct encrypted authentication is present.

For commercial vehicles, the key requirement is relay capacity. The LockCar i226 uses a 20A relay, which is rated for Sprinter and Transit start circuits. It also includes isolated comms, a motion sensor, and anti-hijack mode – useful if a thief attempts to take the van while you are still with it. Paired with a dashcam such as the LockCar ONE, you get both prevention and evidence capture in one installation.

The installation process step by step

LockCar is a mobile service. We come to your home, yard, or workplace, so there is no need to take the van off the road for a day.

1. Booking. Message or call with your van model, year, and postcode. We confirm a time slot.
2. Assessment. The engineer identifies the correct start circuit break point for your van.
3. Installation. The relay is wired in, concealed, and tested. Most vans take around 1-2 hours.
4. Pairing. Your tag, app, or dashcam is paired and tested with you present.
5. Handover. You receive your immobiliser certificate with serial number, fitting date, and vehicle registration for insurance purposes.
