They aren't foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other van security items like Anti Peel brackets.
Each lock is a specific deadlock and is designed for the particular model and make of the vehicle doors. They function by throwing a hook-style bolt into a bracket that is attached to the bodywork inside the vehicle. The bolt latches and hooks onto the bracket, preventing it from being bent or peeled. This is a great method to protect vans from most break-ins.

Slam Lock
A slamlock is a van security device that locks the doors of your vehicle as soon as you shut them. The slam lock stops van thieves who have a plethora of opportunities to take advantage of any errors made by drivers who forget to close their van's doors manually in a hurry. It also serves as a deterrent to any potential criminals.
A commercial slam lock functions by working with your van's manufacturer's locks, which automatically lock the door every time it is closed. This is a great choice for couriers and multi-drop drivers who are often traveling and have a lot of work to do. It saves them from having to use keys to lock their vehicles each time.
After installing a slamlock, you just need to press the handle, which will turn off and shut the door. You can then open the door using your key to keep your tools and cargo secure while on the job. If you're looking for the best security for your van, it's worth considering a deadlock. This is because they offer the highest level of security, as they require more physical effort to break into, and are much more difficult to alter.
Both locks have advantages, but the best one for you will depend on the way you use your vehicle. A slam lock is great for those who often access the back of their vehicles like couriers or multi-drop drivers and are more concerned with protecting their goods while traveling. A deadlock, on the other hand, is perfect for those who are more likely to leave their van unattended for the night and want a reliable lock to ensure their security.

The LOCK TABLE command can be used to secure all tables in the database, a particular table, or just a single row in a table. If ONLY is specified before the table's name, only the table specified is locked.

When a lock has been set to ROW XCLUSIVE, all updates and deletions must be completed prior to when the owner of the lock can release the lock. This will prevent deadlocks between concurrent sessions that modify the row.
If a transaction employs a ROW-EXCLUSIVE lock mode and another session attempts to update the identical rows, the first transaction will encounter an error message that states the key is duplicate. The other session has to wait until the current transaction commits or rolls back, and then will be able to acquire the ROW SHARE lock on the row to continue the process.
The locking mode of ROWSHARED is acquired through the UPDATE, DELETE and MERGE statements. This lock mode can also be acquired by ANALYZE statements CREATE statistis, and commenting on. This lock mode shields the table from schema changes that occur concurrently or VACUUM runs.
The LOCK TABLE WITH HOLD clause allows you to create an execution lock for an individual procedure for a specific duration of time. If another program attempts to run the same protocol on the same connection, the program will be stopped until the lock on execution is released.
