What van and how do you want to do it? That Garrison stuff looks good if you want to try and keep the van looking standard, but to be honest the best thing that you can stick on doors is these http://www.vanvault.co.uk/cobra/van_vault_door_gua...
If you stay looking oem and just upgrade the locks you then have to reinforce parts of the door as the lock is only as good as what it is attached to, plus its not a visual deterrent. With a van vault on the back most people will just walk by, but it does single you out as having stuff in the van so if there is another way to get into the back they'll give it a go.

The van is a 2004 Mk2 peugeot partner, That was the lock I first looked at on price, and my neighbour has it fitted to his van. But I was also thinking of something like thisIf you stay looking oem and just upgrade the locks you then have to reinforce parts of the door as the lock is only as good as what it is attached to, plus its not a visual deterrent.

But at almost £170 it's quite expensive. I did try and find some second hand locks with the quality as Garrison but know luck.
I cant find an image of that lock open, but if the pin just goes straight though when the doors are forced that will just open 
There's a good reason that van vault is on the back of a lot of vans, if you've got glass in the door you also want to upgrade the metal mesh as that normally gives way after a few hard kicks with a size 12 boot.

I managed to get some Metal window security Plating for the van on eBay at a Bargain price so I have that covered. Fits perfect.
