Why We Recommended Slam Locks
Slam locks are one of the most practical and effective security upgrades available for any commercial van. They automatically engage the moment the door is closed, meaning you never need to remember to lock up between jobs.
For the Vauxhall Vivaro owner, slam locks are an ideal solution for daily working life — they remove the risk of leaving a door unsecured during a delivery, on a callout, or while grabbing parts. Combined with their robust construction, they significantly reduce the chance of opportunistic theft.
Why We Also Installed Hook Locks
Hook locks are an independent mechanical locking system designed to provide an extra layer of protection beyond the factory-fitted central locking. They are particularly effective at resisting forced entry and the increasingly common peel attacks that target the side and rear doors of commercial vans.
Because hook locks operate completely independently of the van's standard locking system, they cannot be opened by anyone with the factory key or remote — even if a thief manages to bypass the original central locking. This makes them an essential part of any serious van security upgrade.
Hook Lock Benefits
Hook locks are among the most resilient van security products on the market, providing reliable protection against the most common attack methods used against commercial vehicles.
- Independent key system
- Heavy-duty hook bolt
- Anti-peel design
- Insurance-recognised
Why Fit Both Together?
Combining slam locks and hook locks gives you the best of both worlds — convenience during the working day and maximum security overnight.
Daytime Convenience
Slam locks handle the constant in-and-out of a working day with no fuss.
Overnight Security
Hook locks provide an independent layer of protection while the van is parked up.
Anti-Theft Layer
Greater protection against tool theft from every entry point on the van.
Top Upgrade
One of the most effective upgrades available for a Vauxhall Vivaro.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions we hear from Vauxhall Vivaro owners considering slam lock and hook lock installation.
Are slam locks worth fitting to a Vauxhall Vivaro?+
Yes. Slam locks are one of the most practical upgrades available for a Vivaro, especially if you use the van for deliveries, multi-drop work, or make frequent stops during the working day. Because they lock automatically the moment the door closes, you never have to worry about forgetting to lock up between jobs. For tradespeople carrying valuable tools, that peace of mind is well worth the investment.
Can hook locks and slam locks be fitted together?+
Absolutely. In fact, fitting hook locks and slam locks together is one of the most effective security combinations available for the Vauxhall Vivaro. The slam lock handles your daytime, on-the-go security, while the hook lock provides an independent mechanical lock that operates outside the factory central locking system for maximum overnight protection. Many of our customers choose this exact combination.
How long does installation take?+
A full slam lock and hook lock installation on a Vauxhall Vivaro typically takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on the number of doors being secured. We work efficiently without rushing — every lock is tested before the vehicle is handed back. Most installations can be booked within the same week.
