Van Guard Accessories’ hooklock has attained product accreditation from Secured by Design; a police-preferred specification.
Now in its second generation, the UltiLock had already achieved the Gold Standard security certification from Sold Secure – the only hooklock currently to have done so – and has now also been recognised by the police.
Recently launched by Van Guard Accessories, the latest UltiLock improves on the previous design and features a series of new design and component updates, improving its strength and security.
“Becoming a member of Secured by Design demonstrates our commitment to designing and manufacturing products that meet the highest quality and security standards. Our UltiLock hooklock has been awarded the Secured by Design accreditation, giving our customers the reassurance that their van is secured by a product that meets a police-preferred specification,” explained Amy Butterworth, Van Guard’s marketing executive.
“We’re looking forward to working with Secured by Design to expand our accredited product range. The Secured by Design accreditation gives an additional credibility to both our products and company and gives customers the confidence and peace of mind that they’re purchasing products of the highest quality and security standards.”
Secured By Design is owned by the UK police service with the specific aim to reduce crime and increase safety for businesses and individuals. Developed 20 years ago, the scheme is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK, through a police-preferred specification. The product-based accreditation scheme provides a recognised standard for all security products that effectively deter and reduce crime.
Lyn Poole of Secured by Design commented: “I am really pleased to say that Van Guard Accessories Ltd are now Secured by Design members and are already looking to expand on their Secured by Design products shortly. They are an established company with great products, and I look forward to working with them.”
