SUSSEX INSTALLATIONS - FOR3-PP-2S-RB-D-V3 - FORD - TRANSIT - CUSTOM - (2018 - 2023) - -
This is our Platinum Security Package for the Ford Transit Custom van with single side load door on the left, twin barn doors on the rear and a factory Ford alarm fitted.
This package offers;
- A high level of protection against entry into the load area of your van
- A medium level of protection into the cab area of your van
- Detection of intrusion into the load area of your vehicle via your factory fitted alarm system
- Reinforcement of the manufacturer's factory security
- An additional layer of mechanical security separate from the van's remote control
To test if your Ford Transit Custom has an alarm system already installed, please follow these steps.
For Ford Custom models 2017 or older (the one's with the keyhole in the bonnet grill)
1) Double lock your van from the remote control (press the lock button on the remote twice)
2) Wait 2 minutes
3) Open your bonnet using your key in the lock that is in the grill (But do not press any of the remote control buttons)
If you hear an alarm at this point then this is confirmation that you have an alarm system fitted to your van, you can now press the unlock key on your remote control to stop the alarm from sounding and close your bonnet. If you do not hear an alarm at this point then you do not have an alarm system fitted.
Subscribe to both our YouTube channel and website newsletter to keep up to date with van security products and advice; as things are constantly changing as we respond and adapt to new attack techniques as we see them.
Note: Our electrical modification functionality may vary depending on what body control module is fitted to your van and which version software has been programmed by Ford. Whilst we take great care in selecting products and techniques that we believe are effective to increase your van's security, we can never guarantee that any van is safe from a break in.
If you have had the Ford 'Software Update' done to your van, then you may not need our electronic modification and can save £40 inclusive of VAT from the fitted price above. Our installer can test your van on the day of installation and advise you if you have had the Ford Security update.

A) No, that lock is just to be used in an emergency if your remote control fails, you should use your remote control to double lock your van as directed above.
A) Make sure your key is horizontal and NOT vertical , also try the key in both horizontal positions (ie turn the key 180 degrees and try again).
Q) I can't open my side load door or rear barn doors?
A) 1st double press the unlock button on your van's remote control and then make sure the deadlock is unlocked.
Q) I tried to open my door with the deadlocks still locked and now they are jammed?
A) Try gently pressing your door closed while you turn the key to unlock your deadlock, but be careful not to push too hard on your van's panels as you don't want to damage them.
Q) I can put my deadlock key in, but the key won't turn at all in the lock?
A) You might have got some dirt inside the lock or you have not lubricated the lock regularly. Spray some P.T.F.E. lubricant inside the lock to dislodge the dirt (watch our videos on YouTube for a detailed guide on how to do this).
Q) Is it still possible for someone to break into my van?
A) This could be the PIR detector in your load area detecting movement inside the rear of your van, secure any unstable objects in the rear of your van.
