Van steel plate locks

The Armaplate Lock Protection Systems are made up primarily of two plates. On the outside of the vehicle is an attractive and extremely tough stainless steel plate which protects the lock area. On the inside of the door panel is another (larger) steel plate which adds further protection. With the door-skin itself, there is effectively a triple barrier of steel between the would-be thief and the lock mechanism.

The Armaplate UK Lock Protection Systems were designed by a former Fleet Operations Manager, following many years of experiencing the problems caused by vehicle crime; identifying that the root cause of all break-ins and theft occurred due to the vulnerability of the vehicles locks and surrounding panel areas. Since it is virtually impossible to insure the contents of these light commercial vehicles, this was proving very costly; hence the need to develop a cost effective deterrent. During the earlier stages of Armaplate’s history, customers chose the system as a speedy and economical repair, following a break-in.

It is a fact that most break-ins involve the use of a small screwdriver to puncture the door-skin and activate the lock mechanism. Armaplate makes that virtually impossible to do. Not only is the lock mechanism protected on the outside by a stainless-steel plate, but secondary protection is provide on the inside of the door-skin by an even larger steel plate. The Armaplate Lock Protection Systems have won the SOLD SECURE GOLD AWARD year after year and has won the confidence of some of the largest fleet operators in Europe! This special seal of approval is awarded to those products which can withstand a sustained attack for a set period of time and there are no limits to what tools they use to carry out their mock attack!

Most thieves recognise the Armaplate Lock Protection System and seek easier pickings elsewhere, but occasionally, an unwitting thief will try his best to break into your vehicle regardless. Whilst he may not be successful with his attack, he might cause unsightly damage to the plates by drilling or chiseling , etc. For just £20, you can join our new Plate Replacement Guarantee scheme which will allow you to claim free replacement plates for any which are damaged through break-in attempts. There is no limit to the number of claims you can make during the 12 month period of cover. This scheme is based on an exchange-scheme, whereby your damaged plate is replaced with a brand new one.
