Ford Transit Courier 2024> – Side Door External Latch Shield

Van theft and tool theft continue to rise across the UK, with criminals targeting weak points around door handles, lock mechanisms and latch areas.

External Shield Plates are a highly effective solution for covering existing damage that has been made to the vehicle from a previous attack as well as being a visible deterrent against thieves.

 

External Shield Plates are fitted to the outside of the van door, creating an additional layer of protection around common attack points. They help reduce the risk of thieves puncturing or drilling through the vehicle bodywork to gain access to internal locking mechanisms and door latches. Many modern vans are vulnerable to these types of attacks, particularly side loading doors and rear barn doors. 

Manufactured from stainless steel, External Shield Plates are vehicle-specific for a precise fit and professional appearance. They are available in Powder-Coated Black or Stainless Steel finishes to suit the look of your van while adding a strong visible deterrent to opportunistic thieves. 

Benefits of External Shield Plates

• Covers any existing attach damage - preventing the need of paying for repairs
• Helps prevent puncture and drill attacks
• Reinforces vulnerable door and lock areas
• Covers and protects previously damaged bodywork
• Acts as a strong visual theft deterrent
• Vehicle-specific design for a clean installation
  
• Ideal when combined with deadlocks, slamlocks etc

External Shield Plates are especially popular with tradespeople, delivery drivers and fleet operators who carry expensive tools or equipment inside their vehicles. When used alongside additional van security products such as deadlocks and tracking systems, they help create multiple layers of protection for your vehicle.
