ARMOURED VEHICLES
Drivers of armoured vehicles have enough on their minds without having to worry about whether some part of their vehicle might fail. They need to know they can trust their equipment to function under virtually any conceivable conditions, threatening or not. We deliver precisely that kind of confidence.
Just as security requires sharp focus and attention to detail, so too does the design and manufacture of access solutions for military, law enforcement, cash-in-transit and civilian armoured vehicles. Designed with drivers, personnel and passengers in mind, our durable, vibration-resistant latches are ideal for providing reliable access to many types of compartments both inside and out – without disturbing squeaks or rattles. Flush-mounted design, ergonomic features and a sophisticated finish make them ideal even for more stylish interiors which cater to the civilian market.
MEETING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
We design, develop and manufacture our solutions within the global group, from start to finish. This way, our customers can rest assured that we deliver what we promise. It also gives the customer a direct, hands-on connection to the actual design and development of their solutions.
All our solutions are sufficiently tested and fulfil all the demands of industry standards. Upon request, our plastic and powder coated products can be delivered with antimicrobial protection according to ISO 22196.
Corporately, we are a member of the International Automotive Task Force, IATF.

Suitable solutions
Vector™
Vector™ is a family of robust yet stylish latching solutions, specifically developed to endure all weather conditions, rough construction sites and bumpy roads. Vector offers three generations of T-handles, slam action latches and a complete rotary system, where the actuator handle is placed in a different location than the latch points. The Vector latches, as well as other flush compression latches, are available with the same key code. This means you can use the same key to open all latches on your vehicle.
Sealing profiles
To keep water and dirt away, the use of proper sealing profiles is crucial. Our wide range of EPDM sealing profiles are all fireproof according to UL94HB. If desired, we can offer profiles in materials with even higher fireproof classifications.
Hinges
We offer a variety of hinges for the transportation sector. All are chock and vibration tested, with many versions in stainless steel. When you need an internal hinge, for a door or hatch to stay in the open position, the commonly used friction hinges are the preferred choice.
