Most commercial van owners realise the risk of theft or attempted forced entry to vans. The Mercedes Sprinter Vito LDV Crafter and Volkswagen LT35 are high risk vehicles due to poor lock security and ease of access via existing door locks By simply spiking beside the handle. It is far too easy to access the vehicle unlawfully. This in indeed still the case with the new shape mercedes sprinter and LDV crafter. Under live test with a fleet manager of over 1000 vans it took just 34 seconds to open the van. Front or rear doors are the most vunerable.

What we will do for you !
We offer a complete or part security solution for your vans. We suggest the use of armaplates to cover over door lock handles, even if no key hole is present and the installation of Deadlocks Limpet locks or slam locks to side and rear doors to give extra protection from forced entry by thieves.

What does the Armaplate provide ?
This solution will give you full peace of mind by not only knowing your vehicle is secure but in both respects of visually and physically. Installing Armaplates will deter the attack and save you time and money. In basic terms the Armaplates provide a triple barrier of steel between the theif and the vunerable lock mechanism. Thus making it virtually impossible to spike open or lever out the door lock, so By fitting an Armaplate you really are securing the van from attack.

Can i just secure the rear section ?
Providing you donot have central locking It is possible to secure just the rear section of the vehicle and leave the front with standard locks. This is not ideal but will still give a reasonable level of security and anything of anyitems of real value can be kept in the rear section of the vehicle.

Would deadlocks or slamlocks be better ?
Fitting deadlocks or slamlocks are a good physical and visual deterent. Armaplate work well with deadlocks on vans because they work independently from each other. As far as slamlocks go, the Garrison Slamlock will take place of the existing lock operation but fitting Armaplates will of course prevent unneccesary damage to the handle area by theives who dont know any different, ie: opportunist..
