While a locksmith service van’s exterior is for show, the interior is where the real work is done. Vans are part retail store, part tool storage and part workspace, all in tight quarters where organization and function are vital.
Thanks to our readers for showing some amazing storage and workspace hacks as part of our 2025 locksmith van contest (see exteriors on page S8).
We have three winners in this category with very different vans: DJ’s Lock and Key, FlyLock and My Locksmith. DJ’s has tons of space, giant workbenches, multiple key machines and heavy duty storage cabinets. FlyLock also has an extended workbench and locking cabinets to protect their tools and inventory. My Locksmith has a compact, drop-down desk for doing research and creating invoices, plus the coffee bar contributes to technicians’ comfort and saves time by avoiding the coffee shop drive-through window. Here are our storage/workspace entries by company.
