Mul-T-Lock’s offering is no exception, with

that provide protection to commercial and
private vehicles of all types.
What’s more, solutions for commercial applications have
been designed for durability, robustness and ease-of-use,

are carrying easily.
Tony Powell, Managing Director and Owner of Trade Vehicle
Locks (TVL), has been working closely with Mul-T-Lock for
many years and fully endorses their vehicle security products as
the highest quality. Working together to achieve the Thatcham
Quality Assured (TQA) mark for one of its leading vehicle slam
locks. TQA is registered as an official trademarked certification
scheme and concentrates on products designed to enhance
vehicle security, safety and reliability as well as tools and
equipment used in automotive repair. With over 30 years’
experience within the motor industry Tony is hugely passionate
about helping prevent people from breaking into vehicles. His
years of expertise and insight means that TVL can be very
reactive to market needs and the changing designs of vehicles.
“ Another
contributing
factor is the
fact that
materials used
in automotive
construction are
getting thinner and lighter due to
the need for more environmentally
friendly vehicles. This means that
the ‘peel and steal’ break-in tactic
is more prevalent, and the need
for products to help combat this
is more important than ever.”

Tony said: “The acceleration in automotive crime in recent years
is truly astonishing. In the UK it has grown by 18% in the last
year alone. We are seeing thieves hiring vehicles, specifically
so they can break them apart to determine a way to
compromise the same model in future.
“Social media and internet networks also have a huge
part to play in the rise of vehicle crime. Modern
technology means that thieves can chat online and
within a few hours share methods and techniques
of breaking into a particular vehicle.
“These days vehicle crime is also rising across
Europe. Last year saw incidents increase
significantly in Germany, and there has also been
a spike in Italy and Russia.
