Certainly a good deterent, better than nothing and they look quite good too IMHO. That said, the last time I had my van broken into, they put a brick through the quarter light so the lock armor didn't actually make much difference. Some kind of dead bolt may be the way forward?

You only have the one lock on the sportvan and if it's dead locked then they wont be able to get in so I don't see much point.

Worth getting because someone has just made a right mess of my lock and door but because I always deadlock they didnt get it open but I now have a damaged door. I am ordering one to cover up the mess :x
