campaign, led by Mul-T-Lock®,
to call on van operators and
owners in the vicinity to take
action and consider simple
security solutions to protect
their vehicle and contents.
Halls of Cambridge is
also now stocking Mul-TLock®’s high performance
ArmaDLock® all in one security
device, designed for vans
as a bolt-on solution and a
significant visual deterrent to
the opportunist thief.
Designed to be
professionally installed and
supplied with secure fixings,
Mul-T-Lock® ArmaDLock® is
an all in one non-corrosive
lock body solution that offers
no hanging parts that could
damage the paintwork around
the lock. The angled lock body
has been created to deflect
blows from a hammer and
with the steel locking bolt
‘extra
protection for
the doors’
adds extra protection for the
doors.

reasonably claim to provide “the ultimate
theft recovery service”
