A slamlock can be vulnerable to theft if park your vehicle at a site or fuel station. Opportunistic thieves are always looking for these instances where you shut your car door and leave it open.
A hook deadlock, in contrast, is a more robust locking mechanism that is designed to withstand attacks with drills or crowbars. It is comprised of a bolt which latches onto a bar of metal and inserts it into the door of the vehicle. This prevents unauthorised entry. This type of lock is more effective against burglaries because it is less likely to be bent or manipulated by thieves.

Hook deadlocks are made by throwing a bolt through a receiver located on the opposite body section. This gives a much stronger resistance to crowbar attacks than a straight bolt. The bolt can be thrown in a number of ways, so thieves are less likely to attempt this kind of attack on a van that has a hook lock installed.
These locks are usually installed high on van doors to provide an additional layer of security against the infamous technique of door peeling. This is where the thief punctures a van's door and then pulls the top down to gain access. This is a challenging method to overcome and hook deadlocks offer an adequate level of protection to this type of attack.
In some instances, a hook deadlock cannot be installed. This is because the van door construction does not allow for the bolt to fit. A straight deadlock is an ideal choice in this scenario. It engages a bolt straight into its receiver.

They are also affordable and can be combined with other van security measures to make your vehicle a less attractive than a target for thieves. In addition, they can be paired with a slam lock to provide a higher security.
