This Peugeot Boxer combined several different product families in one job: deadlocks on the front doors, reinforced slam handles on the rear doors, the newer-style Ultimate lock on the rear and side load door, and a Catloc on the catalytic converter — all keyed alike so the customer only carries one key for every door. The slam handles replaced the original vulnerable plastic handle that thieves could snap off to reach inside and open the door, with a reinforced metal handle fitted both outside and inside the door.
This Peugeot Boxer van was fitted out with a combination of security products to give the customer the optimum security to suit his needs. This included Locks 4 Vans Deadlocks for the front doors and Slam Handles for the rear doors (these were keyed alike so that the same key fits all the doors). In addition we fitted the new style Locks 4 Vans ultimate locks to the rear and the side load door of the van and also a Catloc (Catalytic Converter protector).

Each addressed a different door or a different weak point: deadlocks for the front doors, reinforced slam handles replacing the vulnerable plastic handle on the rear doors, the Ultimate lock on the rear and side load door, and a Catloc protecting the catalytic converter — all keyed alike (except for the Ultimate locks) so the customer only needs one key.
The answer to this changes over time depending on the break in methods that exist, back in 2015 thieves would break into vans by ripping the handles off, so Slamhandles would have been better then. But now in 2026 thieves make holes through the door and attack the latch directly and so deadlocks would be better than slamhandles now as they offer an additional layer of security after the factory locking has been bypassed.
It's a reinforced steel bracket fitted around the converter using a shear nut. Once tightened, the nut snaps off completely, leaving nothing for a thief to grip and undo, unlike an unprotected converter that can be cut free in moments.
