Tool theft? Not this time!

50% of tradespeople have been a victim of van crime on more than one occasion. This is known to peak during the holiday season.

Have you been a victim of tool theft?

The reality is, we never think it’s going to happen to us. We hear about it happening to our friends, family and colleagues and we always think we’ll be fine…

Until we’re not.

Vincent Beaudemoulin a skilled tradesman from BPCZ, experienced a van break-in first-hand over Christmas, when he had both of his van windows smashed, as a tool theft attempt.

Unfortunately for the offender, Vincent had safe-guarded his valuable tools and equipment by investing in the Armorgard TrekDror. The two 5-lever deadlocks and robust steel drawers mean that the TrekDrors have your back.

Despite the damage to his van, Vincent saved himself thousands of pounds in tools, as well as time and hassle of having to replace them.

A van with it's sliding door on the side of the van open and shows the inside with some tools and also a red Armorgard TrekDror draw pulled open.As a bonus, the TrekDrors help keep Vincent’s tools organised and easy to find for maximum efficiencies on site!

He now has peace of mind that his tools will stay where he left them, secured and ready to go for the next job!
