Mul-T-Lock has launched a new product for vans to combat theft from vehicles. The ArmaDlock is a lock design, available to bolt onto the surface of any van side or rear door and act as a visual deterrent to the thief.
Designed to be professionally installed, and supplied with secure fixings,
the lock is described as an all in one non-corrosive lock body that offers no hanging parts that could damage the paintwork around the lock. The angled lock body of product is to deflect blows from a hammer and with the steel locking bolt adds protection for the doors.
The physical lock mechanism is within the body, so that users do not have to compromise security by removing portable security products such as padlocks, while packing or removing stock from the van. With the key removed, users need to press the cylinder button to relock the devise once the doors are closed.
Says Steve Ross, Managing Director of Mul-T-Lock: “A van is most vulnerable when left unlocked outside buildings where owners are working, even if they are in an out of their work van all day. Equally a van is at risk when a driver drops off a delivery, or fills up with fuel, leaving the vehicle unlocked, with a padlock having to be stored ‘somewhere’ even for just a few minutes. In these cases, if an opportunist thief were to strike, insurance claims are likely to be declined. “The launch of Mul-T-Lock ArmaDlock, a solution that can be fitted to almost all van types in the UK, provides locksmiths with a chance to present an all inclusive true innovation in modern vehicle security lock design. As well as being a visual deterrent, the clever inter-locking design of the two body parts become one and add an additional layer of protection from manipulation via forced separation.“
The ArmaDlock® is offered with a Mul-T-Lock locking mechanism. Locks are supplied with their own keys or can be keyed alike to operate all locks on a van. For fleet operators, the locks can be master keyed with each van having its own key, yet fleet managers having a key which can open a batch of vehicles or all vehicles if desired.
Steve added: “The extra security for the van doors provided by Mul-T-Lock ArmaDlock offers peace of mind to the owner and ultimate protection for the vehicle and its assets. Ultimately, Mul-T-Lock ArmaDlock is a unique locking solution that has been designed specifically for vans; from the built in keyway protection within the cylinder mechanism to prevent ingress from road emissions and the elements to the nylon body gasket to prevent damage to the body being caused once installed; this is the right security solution for today’s van owners.”
