Professional Van Security Without the Premium Price Tag

For many tradespeople, the van is an essential part of the working day transporting tools, equipment and materials between jobs while doubling as practical on-site storage. With professional tools and equipment representing a significant investment, secure and reliable van storage remains an important consideration across construction, electrical, plumbing and maintenance trades. 

Smith & Locke has expanded its range with a new heavy-duty van safe designed to provide practical, professional-grade storage without the premium price tag often associated with specialist vehicle security products. 

Built from robust steel construction with a durable powder-coated finish, the Smith & Locke Van Safe is designed to help keep valuable tools and equipment protected both on site and in transit. The safe can be securely bolted to the van floor and features a concealed piano hinge to help resist forced entry, alongside a 70mm stainless steel disc lock engineered to resist picking, drilling and corrosion. 

The design also focuses on practicality for everyday use. Integrated gas pistons help keep the lid open for easier access during busy working days, while integrated handles support smoother handling and positioning within the vehicle. 

As tools, batteries and specialist equipment continue to represent a major investment for tradespeople, practical storage solutions are becoming an increasingly important part of day-to-day working life. Products that combine durability, accessibility and straightforward installation can help professionals keep essential equipment protected while working across multiple locations throughout the week. 



The Smith & Locke Van Safe is available at Screwfix, offering a durable and accessible storage solution for tradespeople looking to upgrade vehicle security with a straightforward, heavy-duty setup.
