Introducing the Armaplate Locknut

Van security is currently hot on the tongue of everyone; whether you have seen it on the news or people pleading for information following a van break in on social media. Up and down the country organised gangs and individual opportunists are pushing the number of vehicle break ins up and up. Tradesmen are being robbed of hundreds of pounds in the form of tools and vehicle repairs, not to mention the negative effect on a business’s reputation when jobs have to be cancelled or postponed.

Armaplate are a UK leading brand in LCV Security and have been for 20 years. They have very much been focused on doing business with large Fleet-Operators but now we are pleased to announce the arrival of an all-new Armaplate product aimed at the myriad owner-drivers out there.

The Armaplate Locknut is a very attractive design appealing to a wide range of people with a great ‘Visual Deterrence’ factor (always the first line of defence). Opportunist thieves are not out there looking for a challenge, they will target the easiest shed/garage to break into and that’s one with no visible additional security. The locknut has no visible fixings for thieves to focus on as all mounting bolts are hidden behind the front cover and padlock, making it far more secure than the Hasp & Staple designs.

Made from high-quality stainless-steel there is no worry of rusting or the product needing replacing. A 5-Year Guarantee against manufacturing defects confirms this.

Install isn’t an issue either with its many fixing points, thanks to the slotted fixing points and clever design. The Armaplate Locknut is universal and isn’t vehicle specific. It will fit to all rear doors and a huge range of side loading doors.

There really is no other like it… Shop here.

First Class! Dave and the team are fantastic. The fit on our first Mobile Bike Service and Repair Van could not be any better. From the very beginning, through the design process, all the way to completion I cannot fault a single thing. As I write this, our second van is being fitted to exactly the same specification and the third van is on the way. Long may this partnership continue!

Very helpful and patient with an older guy who was a bit nervous ordering from a company I didn't know. The product I wanted wasn't on their website but I thought it worth asking and they had it at a good price. It came the next day and worked perfectly.

I highly recommend Lee, Dave and the Team at Vehicle Accessories after they did a fantastic job for a one off bespoke van fit for my business. I approached them with a rather radical high concept idea, Dave did a great job taking notes from my extensive brief. He made a great effort to listen and take notes along the way making sure he understood and made suggestions for materials which really led to a much better end product. A particular highlight was a suggestion for them to fabricate a wall mounted Steal Mesh cage system for my equipment which far exceeded my expectations of quality and engineering. During the planning stage and construction suggestions were made to change materials and systems for what they thought would work better for the project as it developed. The end product was perfect and done to a very high standard, it really turned out better than I ever hoped for. Communication throughout was excellent with regular updates, fast responses and easy dialogue when confirming details or discussing changes. Changes were managed quickly and efficiently throughout the build with a great deal of flexibility and professionalism. Even though I was just having just one bespoke build being done for myself I felt highly valued as a customer and treated with the same level of respect and attentiveness as someone ordering a fleet. The quality of work and customer service will certainly mean I’ll be coming back for my next van project.

Great choice of equipment to fit and all done efficiently. They have designed and fitted racking to 75 vehicle for us in the last year.

I can’t recommend Lee and his team of wizards enough. They fitted the gas with all the safety requirements and modified / adapted several parts of the electrics. They went above and beyond my expectations - I won’t hesitate to use them again.

What can say.... the order process was simple, prices competitive and when it was realised that I had ordered 2 incompatible parts I got a call to check and recify the order. Collection was easy and the install team did a quick, neat job. Job done....until next time thank you

Dave, Lee and the team at VA moved crates from my old van to a new one. Easy to communicate with, quick turn around, met all my requests, made good suggestions (such as putting in a waterproof floor) and did an excellent job. Highly recommend.

Big thanks to Dave and the rest of the Vehicle Accessories team. They've done a great job fitting security locks and a floor in my new van. They also moved over my racking and interior lights from my previous van while going out of there way to make it all fit. Excellent service, very efficient and professional. Highly recommended and nice people to deal with. Thanks Miles Ashton Gas
