When Do You Need a Replacement Van Lock?
After a Break-In Attempt
If your van has been targeted by thieves, the factory lock may be damaged — even if they didn't get in. Forced entry attempts often bend, crack, or weaken the original lock mechanism. We can replace it and upgrade to a stronger lock at the same time.
Worn or Stiff Locks
Locks that have become stiff, difficult to turn, or unreliable are a security risk. A lock that's hard to operate may fail completely at the worst moment. We can replace worn locks before they fail.
Lost or Stolen Keys
If your van keys have been lost or stolen, replacing the locks is essential for security. We can supply and fit replacement locks, re-key them to match, and provide new keys.
Upgrading Security
Even if your current locks still work, you may want to upgrade to higher-specification models — for example, replacing a standard deadlock with a stronger hook lock on a vulnerable door.

Replacement Lock FAQs
How much does it cost to replace a van lock?+
Replacement lock costs vary depending on the lock type and your van model. Supply and fitting typically ranges from £100–£200 per lock. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after assessing your existing lock and discussing your requirements.
How quickly can you replace a damaged lock?+
We prioritise emergency lock replacements and can often attend the same day or next day for urgent situations. Standard replacements are usually booked within 3–5 working days.
Can you upgrade my lock while replacing it?+
Yes — and we often recommend it. If you're replacing a standard deadlock on a vulnerable door, we may suggest upgrading to a hook lock for stronger anti-peel protection. We'll discuss your options during the assessment.
Do I need to replace both rear door locks if one is damaged?+
Not necessarily — we can replace individual locks. However, if both locks are the same age and one has failed or been attacked, we may recommend replacing both for consistent security. It's your choice.
