ULTIMATE VAN
SECURITY
ToolShield was established in October
2016 by Andrew Moore and Adam
Jowett. Adam is an electrician by
trade and wanted to come up with a
new way of preventing tool theft from
vans, something he had seen very
frequently when he was working away.
He approached Andrew, a business
development manager, and together
they designed the ToolShield system.
The pair say ToolShield is a
SECURITY DOOR
HANDLE UNVEILED
Hardware specialist VBH has
unveiled the Alpha 2-Star security
door handle set as the latest
addition to the greenteQ range.
When used in conjunction with a
1 star rated profile cylinder the
handle enables manufacturers and
installers to provide a 3-star rated
solution to BSI Kitemark TS007.
The greenteQ Alpha 2-Star
handle has been successfully test-
ed to TS007 in conjunction with
the greenteQ Q-Star 1 star profile
cylinder.
the perfect partner
‘ for
the Q-Star TS007 ’
VBH marketing manager Gary
Gleeson says: “We’re delighted
to add Alpha 2-Star to our prod-
uct portfolio as it is the perfect
partner for our Q-Star TS007
profile cylinder that has proved so
popular since we launched it last
year. Customers have been eagerly
awaiting its arrival so they can fit
an all-greenteQ TS007 solution.’
The handle is available in anthra-
cite grey as well as the five core
greenteQ Suite finishes. VBH advise
that this makes it ideal for many of
the grey doors that are becoming
more popular, including PAS24 rat-
ed Clearspan bi-fold doors.
unique system - there is nothing
else like it on the market. It is
essentially a bulkhead security
door that can be installed in the
side and rear doors of vans. It is
made from hardened steel and
it is designed to delay thieves as
much as possible from breaking
into the vehicle. It successfully
achieves this through the follow-
ing factors:
• The hinges on each system
are concealed and encased in
their own armour - they can-
not be tampered with
• The door itself is defended by
three layers - it is cladded at
the front and the back with
a hardened steel plate and
an internal lattice is encased
in there. Even if somehow
a thieve broke through the
first layer, the lattice prevents
anyone from reaching in and
stealing the contents of the
van.
• The doors have minimal
weight gain – the Pro System
weighs 67kg for both the side
and rear door and the Tool-
Guard System weights 47kg
• It will take up to 20 minutes
for anyone to break through
the doors with hand tools –
more than enough time to
raise the alarm.
ToolShield manufactures two
grades of systems – the first being
a heavy duty one called the Pro
System. It is popular with people
who work away a lot and have to
keep their van in high risk areas.
The frame is a 40 x 40 box section
and is a heavier system. The sys-
tem retails for £999.99 plus VAT
– this includes the side door and
the rear.
The ToolGuard system is a
lightweight system, for those who
work more often in their local
area. The frame is 25 x 25 frame
and is much lighter than the Pro
System. It retails for £489.99 plus
VAT – this includes the rear and
side doors. The prices also include
fitting at the company’s Burton on
Trent workshop.
