Luke Walker , a Van Vault customer , said : “ A tradesperson ’ s worse nightmare is to have their tools stolen , it ’ s not only their personal belongings but also their livelihood that ’ s taken away from them . So having my van kitted out with a Van Vault helps me sleep

The wheels are also larger to accommodate 120kg sash weight and the weight of the sash distributed over one point instead of two points meaning no ‘ tipping action ’ occurs when the doors are stacked out together . The hinge element is also slimline to help it blend into the gasket lines
