Ford Transit Custom – Side Door Latch Shield
Van theft methods are constantly evolving, with criminals targeting weak points inside van doors to gain access to tools, equipment and valuables. Internal Shields are designed to reinforce vulnerable areas behind the door skin, helping to protect internal locking mechanisms, rods and latches from common attack methods such as puncturing, drilling and peeling.
Unlike external plates, Internal Shields are fitted discreetly inside the van door, providing hidden protection without altering the exterior appearance of the vehicle. They act as a strong internal barrier, helping to prevent thieves from reaching the door latch or lock cables after puncturing the outer bodywork.
Manufactured from heavy-duty steel and designed specifically for different van makes and models, Internal Shields provide a professional and highly effective security upgrade for tradespeople, couriers and fleet operators looking to protect expensive tools and equipment stored inside their vehicles.

Internal Shields are particularly effective as part of a layered van security setup. Combined with upgraded locks, alarms and tracking systems, they help create multiple barriers that make your van far more difficult and time-consuming for thieves to attack. Security experts and van owners often recommend combining physical security with visible deterrents and tracking solutions for the best overall protection.
