They are fitted with a hook-style bolt that locks into the receiving keep and can be locked manually using a high-security key.

Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a kind of software issue that occurs when processes within the same process or across different processes compete for resources in a way that creates circular dependencies. Deadlocks are undesirable in operating systems because they waste resources, which reduces overall system performance and responsiveness. Many operating systems use algorithms for scheduling and allocation of resources to prevent deadlocks and detect them.
If a process is stuck in a deadlock, it is unable to move forward until it has the resource it needs. For instance, if process P1 holds the tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive, then it is in deadlock. If either process releases the resource it is holding and the other process releases it, the other will take it and enter a deadlock too.
There are many methods to stop or fix deadlocks. The most popular method to solve a deadlock is by using a deadlock detection method. This algorithm identifies the deadlock by looking for cycles on the graph of resource allocation. The Banker's Algorithm examines the status of a process by analyzing current resources.
Another way to prevent deadlocks is to eliminate the dependence completely by using a lock that has mutual exclusion. This type of lock can be used to ensure that a system is able to only access its own resources, and not the resources of other processes. This is a fantastic way to avoid deadlocks and also allows for greater security of your goods and van contents. Escape deadlocks can also be installed on the interior of doors to allow easy exit in an emergency. They are usually found on doors used in multi-occupancy buildings like flats and student accommodation.

L4V Statement locks are mounted externally on the vehicle cab door. This acts as an effective visual security measure against theft of cargo. These locks can be operated using an external key that has high security, under the total control of the driver. They are ideal for owners who drive their own vehicles or any other operation in which the driver must be in and outside the loading area throughout the day.
The SyncLock statement syncs an entire block of statements' execution by acquiring a lock on the object that is referenced by the lockobject expression. When a different thread is in the SyncLock block, it evaluates the lockobject expression and suspends its execution until the exclusive lock on the object is released. The first thread then executes the statement block. SyncLock blocks are typically used to contain statements that manipulate data. This blocks the data from being altered by multiple threads at once. Statement blocks that are protected by SyncLock are referred to as critical sections.
Specifies the lock type to be acquired for the statement block. Unless otherwise specified, a shared lock is the default.
The expression for lockobject must evaluate to an object variable that is only belonging to the current instance of your class or a private variable that is not related to any instances of your class. If the expression in the lockobject is evaluated to a null value the LOCK statement fails and the program terminates with a run-time error message.
If a transaction obtains an intent lock (I) on a table, it prevents other transactions from acquiring a WRITE or Shared row lock on the table if the transaction has the intent lock. This is because an intent lock stops other transactions from altering data in the table.
