FAQs

What is the Locks 4 Vans Shielding Range?
A suite of vehicle‑specific plates, guards and brackets designed to reinforce weak points on van doors and bodywork. Shielding adds physical strength where thieves commonly pry, peel, puncture or cut wiring.

Will shielding affect how my doors open/close?
No. Professionally fitted shielding is aligned to OEM tolerances, so doors shut cleanly and seals remain effective.

Does shielding work with Hook/Deadlocks or Slamlocks?
Yes — shielding is designed to complement mechanical locks for layered security.

Is it visible?
Discreet, OEM‑style plates and trims are chosen to blend with your vehicle while adding strength.

How long does fitting take?
Typically 30–90 minutes per door/area depending on the product and vehicle model.

Will I get paperwork for insurance?
Yes — we provide a receipted invoice detailing the L4V shielding installed and positions.

How much does it cost?
Price depends on van model and chosen products. Call
07803 721 200 or request a fast quote for exact pricing.

Is it compatible with my van?
We fit the full L4V range for most popular vans. Tell us your make, model and year and we’ll confirm the exact kits and positions.

Do you drill or bond parts on?
Depending on the product, we use a mix of stainless rivets/bolts and, where specified, high‑strength automotive adhesives. All cut edges are rust‑protected and fixings are corrosion‑resistant.

Will it affect warranty or a lease vehicle?
A correctly installed accessory typically doesn’t affect manufacturer warranty. For lease/finance, check your terms — we can supply installation details on request.

Can it be removed or transferred later?
Yes — de‑installation is possible. Small fixing holes can be neatly plugged, and some parts can transfer with a vehicle‑specific fitting kit. We’ll advise case‑by‑case.

What finishes are available?
Most plates are stainless steel or black powder‑coated; options vary by vehicle. Where visible, trims are chosen to look OEM and tidy.

Will it rust or rattle?
Kits use stainless/powder‑coated components and corrosion‑resistant fixings. Properly installed, they’re secure and quiet with no rattles.

Does it add much weight?
Very little — typically 1–3 kg per door/area depending on the kit, with no noticeable effect on payload.

Does it affect MOT or Type Approval?
No — shielding is a non‑structural accessory when fitted as designed and doesn’t interfere with lights, sensors or door operation.

Can you colour‑match?
Plates are usually stainless or black. Where appropriate we can supply/fit matching trims; ask for options for your model.

Is it suitable for electric or hybrid vans?
Yes — we avoid high‑voltage zones and protect wiring runs. Shielding doesn’t interfere with vehicle systems.

Do you need power or workshop space?
No mains power needed — we bring everything. Off‑street parking or a safe bay is ideal; in heavy rain we may need covered space for best results.

What areas do you cover?
Mobile fitting across Orpington, Bromley, Kent and South East London (and nearby by arrangement).

What about fleets?
We deliver consistent, model‑specific installs, can work to fleet schedules, and provide documentation for your records. Multi‑vehicle pricing available.

What payment methods do you accept?
Card and bank transfer are available. Invoices provided; trade accounts by arrangement for fleets.

What’s the warranty?
Locks 4 Vans parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty; our workmanship is covered by our standard guarantee. Ask for details.

How do I care for the shielding?
Wash with mild car shampoo, avoid harsh chemicals/abrasives, and periodically check fixings. If paired with locks, use a light lock lubricant (not oil) on cylinders.

Can you show examples?
Yes — we can share photos of recent installs and recommend the best package for your van.
