Van Locks, Deadlocks & Security Fitted in Crawley
Specialist van security fitted at your home, workplace or business premises across Crawley, Manor Royal and the Gatwick area. We fit deadlocks, hook locks and internal and external security shields for tradespeople, individual van owners and business fleets alike.
Professional mobile van security fitting in Crawley
Sussex Installations provides a professional van deadlock, security shield and other van security product mobile installation service across Crawley. With Gatwick Airport, the Manor Royal Business District and excellent M23 access on our doorstep, Crawley is home to a mix of individual tradespeople and larger logistics, service, construction and maintenance fleets — and we bring the same installation discipline to every job: accurate fitting, proper clean-down, corrosion protection and final testing, whether it is one van or several.
At your home
Suitable mobile installations can be completed at a Crawley home address where there is safe, practical access to the vehicle.
At your workplace
Have security fitted while the van is at work, reducing the need to lose additional time travelling to a workshop.
Fleet & business premises
For multiple vans, tell us the vehicle mix, site postcode and security required and we can discuss the most practical fitting arrangement.
Security we fit
Van deadlocks, hook locks and security shields fitted in Crawley
We install individual security products and complete layered security packages. The right combination depends on the van, the attack methods relevant to that model and how the vehicle is used.
Van deadlocks fitted in Crawley
A van deadlock adds an independent mechanical locking point separate from the vehicle's original central locking system. We can advise on suitable lock type and position for your vehicle.
Hook locks use a hook-shaped bolt that engages into a receiving bracket and can provide a strong additional mechanical locking point on suitable side and rear load doors.
External Security & Repair Shields fitted in Crawley
Fitted to the outside of the door as a visible deterrent, or to repair and reinforce a door already damaged in an attempted break-in. Designed and manufactured by Sussex Installation Team Ltd in Britain.
Every shield is manufactured in-house at our Eastbourne factory in brushed marine-grade stainless steel or matte black powder-coating, cut and finished to sit flush against the van rather than looking like an add-on.
Slamlocks can be useful for some delivery and multi-drop applications by changing how the load door secures when closed. They are not automatically the best choice for every van owner.
Fitted covertly inside the door to reinforce and protect the vulnerable factory latch and central locking mechanism from the inside. We always recommend Stealth shields as your first and most important line of defence.
Fleet and business van security around Crawley, Manor Royal, Gatwick and the M23
Crawley's commercial base — from Manor Royal Business District to the logistics, service, construction and maintenance operators supporting Gatwick Airport — means many enquiries come from businesses running more than one van rather than a single owner-driver. We can discuss fleet work directly, or via a trusted installation partner for larger national rollouts.
Real courier fleet installations
Fleet security work already has a track record here — including a UK Mail courier van fitted with security right here in Crawley — alongside the same matching-specification approach used for operators like Interlink Express and DHL contractors elsewhere.
Multiple-vehicle installations
Book several vans in together, at your Crawley site or scheduled across our diary, rather than arranging each vehicle separately.
Consistent specification
The same lock and shield specification applied across every van in the fleet, so drivers and fitters know exactly what to expect on each vehicle.
New vans before they enter service
Security fitted to replacement or newly delivered vans before they go into daily use, rather than retrofitting after an incident.
Rollout scheduling
Vehicle replacement cycles and fleet rollouts can be scheduled in, so security fitting keeps pace as vans are added or replaced.
On-site at your business
Where practical, installation can take place at your Crawley business premises rather than every van needing to travel to us.
Leased & contract-hire vans
We can advise on suitable security for leased vehicles, subject to permission from the leasing or finance company before any work is carried out.
We can fit security for nearly all current model vans mobile in Crawley, but these are the most popular model vans for additional security. If your van is not listed, then please select your make van on our home page or just get in touch with us.
Mobile fitting should not mean lowering the installation standard
Over the years our dedicated mobile workshop vans have been equipped around full-size petrol compressors, air receivers, tool storage and parts storage so installers can carry out professional work at customer premises.
Accurate preparation
Product choice and fitting position are matched to the individual vehicle rather than assuming every van should receive the same solution.
Clean-down
Compressed air is used to clear swarf and dust from door edges, hinges, seals and drain areas after cutting and drilling.
Corrosion protection
Bare metal edges created during fitting are treated with corrosion inhibitor before final assembly and testing.
Professional deadlock installation is more than putting a lock in a door. Preparation, accurate cutting, clean-down, corrosion protection, alignment and final testing all matter.

"Matt installed deadlocks to my van this morning at Brewer Rd, Crawley. I just wanted to say that the installation is very neat and tidy, he explained how to use and maintain the lock and he was generally a very nice chap. I will use Sussex Installations for any future works and will recommend you to friends/colleagues."
★★★★★
"Excellent service as always. Have been using this company for the last 10+ years fitting additional security to all my vans. Thank you again!!!"
★★★★★
"I bought a new Transit Custom back in 2019 and the team at Sussex Installations arranged to come up to my house and fit the Platinum Package. The service was excellent and they've helped me a few times with spares and advice over the years. I highly recommend Sussex Installations and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my van."
Van deadlocks & mobile security fitting in Crawley: FAQs
Do you fit van deadlocks mobile in Crawley?
Yes. We provide mobile van security fitting across Crawley for suitable jobs, including deadlocks and hook locks for many popular commercial vehicles, and have previously fitted deadlocks for customers based in Crawley. Send us your postcode, van make, model and year so we can confirm availability.
How much does it cost to have van deadlocks fitted?
A single deadlock fitted starts at £141+VAT, or as little as £133+VAT per lock when having 4 deadlocks fitted together. These prices are based on mobile fitting in East Sussex or at our Eastbourne workshop, so mobile fitting in Crawley will include additional travel costs on top, which we can confirm once we know your postcode. Some high-position deadlock or hook lock kits also need a metal mounting box for the lock case, which can affect the price.
Does having van deadlocks fitted invalidate my van's warranty?
It's important that the installer carries out a thorough clean-down and rust prevention process when fitting van deadlocks, to avoid corrosion. Whilst it's possible that a manufacturer could question a related warranty issue, such as corrosion near a deadlock, we have fitted over 23,000 deadlocks and slamlocks over two decades and have never had a single customer report a warranty problem as a result of us fitting deadlocks to their van.
Can you fit van security shields at my premises in Crawley?
Yes, depending on the vehicle, products and job size. We fit internal Stealth security shields and external security or repair shields for many vans, including at business premises around Manor Royal, and can confirm whether the work is suitable for mobile installation.
Do I need to know which locks or shields my van needs?
No. Tell us what van you have, the door configuration, how you use it and what you are trying to protect. We can explain the options and recommend products appropriate to the vehicle rather than expecting you to choose blindly.
Which parts of Crawley and the surrounding area do you cover?
Mobile installation is available across Crawley and nearby areas including Manor Royal, Gatwick, Horley, Three Bridges, Ifield, Furnace Green, Maidenbower, Pound Hill and Copthorne, subject to the installation, travel and booking availability. Contact us with the postcode for the installation address so we can confirm.
Are all van-security jobs available mobile?
No. Some in-depth electrical work and larger jobs involving multiple items may be restricted to our Eastbourne workshop. We will explain this before booking if your job would be better completed at our premises.
Can you secure a fleet of vans in Crawley?
Yes, we can discuss fleet work, including businesses operating around Manor Royal, Gatwick and the M23 corridor. Send us the site postcode, number of vehicles, makes/models and the security you are considering. We can then advise on suitable products, a consistent specification across the fleet, and the most practical installation arrangement.
Can you fit security to leased or contract-hire vans in Crawley?
In many cases, yes, but any work on a leased or contract-hire vehicle should first be checked and agreed with the leasing or finance company, since the vehicle is not owned outright by the driver or business. Once permission is confirmed, we can advise on security suited to the vehicle.
