AUTO LOCKSMITHS
Mul-T-Lock gears up for new commercial vehicle protection range
» LATEST FIGURES SHOW that 11,714 [ 1 ] vans were stolen in the UK over the past year , and £ 3.5bn [ 2 ] worth of equipment was taken . With Police Forces and insurance companies citing the need for extra precautionary measures , Mul-T-Lock presents its MVP commercial vehicle locks .
The new range includes the MVP1000 , an entry-level locking system suited for almost any type of van door , both rear and sliding . It also has a push-to-lock design , for quick and easy keyless locking . It is available for purchase either individually or as a pair of two keyed alike on our patented MTL300 key system .
The new system joins the popular MVP2000 , designed for ease of installation . As an active visual and physical deterrent , MVP2000 can be used in conjunction with default vehicle locks or as a retrofit to an existing vehicle and supplied with secure fixings . The all-in-one , noncorrosive lock body solution offered by MVP2000 has no hanging parts and has a dedicated mounting bracket to protect paintwork beneath the lock .
MVP2000 was recently installed by On Point Electrics , after experiencing a van break-in that resulted in a significant loss of tools , time and work . Jon Dawson commented : “ The crime was committed in less than 20 seconds , with my van in full view of obvious CCTV systems , in broad daylight , in front of a busy leisure centre . The loss of tools for myself and my apprentice was significant and meant a huge amount of time and resource had to be invested in insurance claims , with the potential loss of work .”
Says Jamie Jagpal , Mechanical Product Manager of Mul-T-Lock : “ We are presenting a portfolio that can offer the ultimate protection for most commercial vehicle models , whilst being quick and easy to install . And we will continue to expand the range so that more van owners can benefit from a comprehensive , true innovation in modern commercial vehicle security and lock design .”
MVP1000 and MVP2000 will be joined later in the year with an advanced model MVP3000 .
