Devon based van lock and security manufacturer, Van Guard Accessories, have joined the UK’s police backed initiative Secured By Design, with their latest ULTI Lock Hooklock attaining another well recognised certification.
As a leading British manufacturer of commercial vehicle accessories, Van Guard’s 2nd generation of van hooklocks, ULTI Lock Hooklock, was first launched at 2021’s MLA Expo in Telford.
With van security the fastest growing sector in their marketplace, Van Guard’s R&D team set about creating a best-in-class product, building a truly robust and secure range of hooklocks for vans. Upon it’s launch the ULTI Lock Hooklock was backed by Sold Secure Automotive Gold Certification and is still the only van hooklock on the UK market to have successfully gone through this impartial and independent 3rd party testing.
“Our latest hooklock is really establishing itself as a pioneering product amongst van lock fitters across the UK. Since its launch, installer feedback has been nothing short of formidable with customers relishing the opportunity to offer a range of van hooklocks with both the Sold Secure Automotive Gold and Secured by Design certifications behind them.” Damien Connery, Head Of Commercial Strategy – Van Guard
