Daken Blackstone Slam Anti-Theft Lock for Vans: Sold Secure Gold Automatic Locking
The Daken Blackstone Slam anti-theft lock is the fully automatic closing version of the Blackstone range for van doors. Made entirely of AISI 316 stainless steel, it activates the security lock as soon as the door closes, without requiring any additional action from the driver. Additionally, its imposing design acts as a primary deterrent against any theft attempt.
Furthermore, the Daken Blackstone Slam anti-theft lock has passed the demanding Sold Secure test with a Gold rating, the highest possible for van door locks. Its Defender cylinder complies with EN 1303:2015 with the maximum rating of 6 and is protected by two of Daken's own registered patents. Therefore, it resists the most common forced entry methods: drilling, bumping, and forced cylinder extraction.
Firstly, it is important to understand the difference from the Combo version: the Daken Blackstone Slam anti-theft lock always activates the automatic locking, with no possibility of deactivation. Consequently, it is the ideal choice for transport professionals and business fleets who need security to be active at all times during stops. It also includes an internal emergency release cable with a PUSH device to prevent being trapped in the vehicle.

Materials and construction

In addition, the available finish in satin silver or matte black resists rust even in coastal environments with high concentrations of sea salt.
