How We Can Help
• Deadlocks (straight bolt): Adds a strong, independent locking point on doors (side/rear). Ideal for vehicles left overnight or on-site.
• Hook locks (anti-peel): Hook-bolt engages behind the bracket to resist “peel and steal” attacks on side and rear doors.
• Slamlocks: Door locks automatically on closure—perfect for multi-drop and courier work where doors are frequently opened.
• Shielding & armour plates: Internal and external plates to protect latch areas, barrels and wiring—stops common drill/screwdriver attacks.
• Loom guards & handle shields: Protects vulnerable wiring runs and handle linkages that thieves often target.
• High-security cylinders: Anti-pick/anti-drill cylinders, keyed-alike across doors (one key for the whole van or fleet).
• Internal door keepers & anti-peel kits: Reinforces door edges and frames to resist levering and body-flex attacks.
• Window grills & blanks: Prevents smash-and-grab through glazed panels on rear/side doors.
