Hook Locks
Van hook locks function independently of the manufacturers' locking system on the side load doors and tailgates. They are fitted with a hook-style bolt that locks into the receiving keeps, and can be locked manually using a high-security key. This provides a high level of protection against "Peel and steal" which is when thieves forcefully open side loading doors and remove items.

Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a kind of software defect that occur when processes within the same process or across multiple processes compete for resources in a way that results in circular dependencies. Deadlocks are not a good idea for operating systems due to the fact that they consume resources, which can reduce overall system performance and the responsiveness of. A lot of operating systems employ resource allocation and process scheduling algorithms to identify and prevent deadlocks.
If a process is stuck in a deadlock, it is unable to move forward until it has the resource it needs. If, for example, process P1 is holding tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive, then it is deadlocked. If thekeylab.co.uk releases the resource it holds and the other process releases it, the other will take it and enter a deadlock as well.
There are a variety of ways to avoid or solve deadlocks. The most popular method to solve deadlocks is through a deadlock detection method. This algorithm locates the deadlock by analyzing cycles in the resource allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm checks the status of a process by looking at the current resources.
A lock with mutual exclusion is another method to avoid a deadlock. This type of lock can be used to ensure that a process can only access its own resources, and not the resources of other processes. This is a reliable method to avoid deadlocks and provides an increased level of security for your items and van's contents. There are also escape deadlocks, that can be put on the interior side of a door for easy escape in the event of an emergency. They are typically found on doors used in multi-occupancy properties like flats and student housing.

L4V Statement Locks are mounted externally to the cab doors. This acts as a visual deterrent against theft of cargo. These locks are operated by a high-security external key that is under complete control of the driver, which makes them ideal for owner drivers and any situations where the driver might need to be in and out of the loading area throughout the day.
The SyncLock statement is a way to synchronize an entire block of statements that are executed by acquiring a lock on the object referenced by the lockobject expression. When another thread enters the SyncLock block, it analyzes the expression lockobject and suspends its execution until the lock on the object is released. The first thread runs the block of statements. SyncLock blocks are generally used to contain statements that manipulate data. This stops the data from being altered by multiple threads at the same time. Statement blocks that are protected by SyncLock are known as critical sections.
The type of lock that should be purchased for the statement block. If not specified otherwise, the default lock is a shared lock.
The expression for the lockobject must be evaluated to an object variable that is exclusive to the current instance of your class or a private variable that is not related to any instances of your class. If the lockobject value is null, the LOCK statement will fail and the program will end with an error message during runtime.
If a transaction obtains an intent lock (I) on a table, it prevents other transactions from acquiring a WRITE or Shared Row LOCK on that table if the transaction has the intent lock. This is because the intent lock doesn't permit other transactions to alter the data in that table.
