Deadlocks are activated by placing an anchor bolt in an attached bracket on the inside of the door and body panel. The bolt is operated with an external key, and creates another locking point that's more difficult for thieves to get around. We offer a range of various deadlocks for the Ford Transit, from hook locks to high-security ones that feature an anti-drill and pick cylinder.
