PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

NEW! FREE Stealth Trap included. Designed to be easy to install with installer-friendly stud locations and clear step-by-step instructions. Fits Ford Transit Custom 2013 - 2023 LEFT (N/S) side load door. Large 1.5mm Powder Coated 304 stainless steel security & repair shield.

One of the biggest differences between our products and other products is that we design with the installer in mind. We put additional development time into shaping the shield and carefully choosing stud locations that are practical to access during installation.

We then take this a step further by producing uniquely clear and detailed step-by-step fitting instructions to make installation as straightforward as possible, whether fitted by a competent DIY van owner or a professional van security installer.

NEW! FREE STEALTH TRAP INCLUDED
Anti-cut security device included for next-level protection

Finish - Matte Black - 1.5mm thick, heavy-duty Powder Coated 304
(Also available in Brushed Stainless in one of our other listings.)

Part Number - FOR3-NSL-EXT-002-MB


Professional-quality external security / repair shield for the LEFT (N/S Nearside) sliding load door of the Ford Transit Custom, model years 2013 - 2023.

This product is designed to help secure the van against the typical screwdriver break-in method, where a hole is made in the rear section of the side load door to access the factory latch / central locking unit. It can also provide a cost-effective repair solution for vans that have already suffered damage from this type of attack.

Designed and developed by Sussex Installations, this shield combines effective security and repair protection with a stylish design that complements the body styling of the Ford Transit Custom.

This shield is compatible with our internal Stealth Shield (sold separately), which we recommend fitting to provide an additional layer of security, wrap-around latch protection to help deflect angled attacks and increased anti-drill protection.

ABOUT OUR BRANDS

All products are designed and manufactured in England by Sussex Installation Team LTD 

SUSSEX INSTALLATIONS® The Van Security Specialist Logo

The Sussex Installations® trademarked brand offers our professional-grade range of vehicle security and protection products. These products typically utilise drill, stud and nut fixing methods for maximum strength and durability.

 

Our products are design rights registered and are developed entirely by us! We are a company that has been installing van security for over 21 years, with a combined staff experience of over 60 years in the van security industry. This real-world experience influences every stage of product development, helping us create solutions that are not only strong and effective but also practical and installer-friendly. Unlike many competing products, Sussex Installations products are designed with the installer in mind, helping to reduce fitting time whilst maintaining a high-quality finish and are accompanied by our uniquely clear and detailed step by step fitting instructions.

EASYFIX® Logo

EASYFIX® is our trademarked brand product range that we have designed to provide simple, effective vehicle protection solutions that can be fitted quickly and easily with minimal tools. They still benefit from the same stylish design and perfect fit product development from the Sussex Installations range of products, but are easier and faster to fit using our patent-pending dual adhesive mounting method and parts as opposed to traditional shield fitting products that use drill, nut and bolt fixing method.

 

The range focuses on adhesive-mounted products that deliver a professional appearance whilst reducing installation time and complexity. Our patent-pending dual adhesive fitting method includes a strong double-sided adhesive gasket with designated channels for curable adhesive to be applied. These channels act as containment areas that stop the curable adhesive from spilling out of the sides of the shield, they allow airflow to the curable adhesive for unmatched permanent bonding strength and ensure a consistent bonding thickness across the entire shield. Of course another massive benefit of this is that the van can be used almost immediately after the shield has been fitted.

 

Easy to fit. Easy to use. Easy to trust.

STEALTH® Logo

STEALTH® is our trademarked brand and design right registered range of covert internal security solutions designed to protect vulnerable areas from within the vehicle door.

 

The STEALTH SHIELDS product range are covert internal shields that protect factory van latch / central locking mechanisms, typically multiple layers thick in the most vulnerable places and with wrap-around features to maximise the effectiveness of securing the latches from attack from multiple directions. The STEALTH SHIELDS are typically drill free installation and bolt in place using existing fixing points inside the van door.

 

The STEALTH TRAP is our range of patent-pending anti-cut around security products which fit covertly inside the door panel and are affixed in place using the nuts and studs of our Sussex Installations O.G. range of external door shielding.

 

Our STEALTH TRAP ANCHOR additionally features connection to the internal structure of the door for optimum anti-fold out resistance and anti-cut wings for maximum resistance to brute force cutting around an external shield with a reciprocating saw or angle grinder.

 

Designed to work discreetly behind the scenes, our STEALTH products help protect critical components without altering the vehicle's external appearance.
