Essential Maintenance Tips for Van Door Locks

Van Door Locks are simple mechanisms, but a few basic checks help keep them working reliably.

Keep track of your keys

Twin and triple packs are keyed alike, so note your key number after fitting — this makes ordering spares straightforward if a key is lost.

Check the fit periodically

Because these locks are fitted to doors that open and close constantly, it's worth periodically checking that mounting screws haven't worked loose, particularly after a long tow or drive.

Before you drill or refit

Always check door and frame clearances and panel alignment before installing or moving a lock, and use professional installation if you're not confident — Milenco's own fitting notes recommend this for the best alignment and strength.
