Hook Locks
Van hook locks operate independently of the manufacturers' locking system that is used on your side load doors as well as tailgates. They use a hook style bolt that locks into the receiving keeps, and can be locked manually with a high-security key. This gives you a great level of protection against "Peel and Steal" crimes, in which thieves forcibly prise the doors to the side and take items.
They are a very popular upgrade for van security. They can be placed on the side of the front load and rear load barn doors and also on the tailgate and cab doors. You can also select from a range of colors to match your van's color scheme and offer the best visual deterrent for thieves.
Another way to enhance the security of your van is to install a Slam lock. This is ideal for couriers or other situations where the door needs to lock immediately after closing. The Slam lock uses an array of internal and external components to minimize the chance of the doors on your side being peeled open or ripped off. It is typically paired with an L4V hook lock in the lower position of your vehicle's doors. This is the best method to avoid the most frequent van thefts.

Deadlocks
Deadlocks occur when processes in the same process or between processes compete for resources, which results in circular dependencies. Operating systems should avoid deadlocks as they consume resources and decrease overall performance of the system. A lot of operating systems employ process scheduling and resource allocation algorithms to identify and prevent deadlocks.
If a process is in a deadlock and cannot move forward until it gets the resource it needs. For example, if P1 is holding tape drive R1 and waiting for the release of the same drive by process P2, it is in a deadlock. If one process releases an item, the other immediately takes it and enters a deadlock.
There are several ways of solving deadlocks or preventing them. The most commonly used method is to employ an algorithm to detect deadlocks. This algorithm identifies deadlocks by looking for cycles on the diagram of resource allocation. The Banker's Algorithm analyzes the state of a process by looking at the current resources.
Another method to avoid deadlocks is to prevent the dependence completely by using a lock with mutual exclusion. This kind of lock is used to ensure that a process is able to only access its own resources, and not the resources of other processes. This is a great way to keep deadlocks out and offers a higher level of security for your possessions and van contents. Escape deadlocks can also be fitted on the interior of a door to permit the easy exit in case of emergency. They are usually found on doors used in multi-occupancy buildings like student accommodation and flats.

The locks are operated by a high-security external key that is under the full control of the driver, making them suitable for owner-drivers and other situations where the driver might have to be in and out of the loading area during the daytime.
The SyncLock statement synchronizes an entire block of statements' execution by acquiring a lock on the object that is referenced by the expression lockobject. When another thread enters the SyncLock block, it examines the lockobject expression and suspends its execution until the exclusive lock on the object is released. The first thread then executes the statement block. Typically, you place statements that alter data within the SyncLock block to prevent the data from being modified by more than one thread simultaneously. Statement blocks that are protected by SyncLock can be referred to as critical sections.
Specifies the kind of lock to be acquired for the statement block. Unless specified, the default is a shared lock.
The expression for the lockobject should be able to evaluate to an object variable that is only available to the current instance or a variable private that is not part of to any instance of your classes. If the expression for lockobject evaluates to a null value the LOCK statement is not successful and the program closes with an error message during run-time.
If a transaction acquires 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 an intent lock stops other transactions from altering the data in the table.
