A consistent plan without ignoring differences
Standardise daily lock use
Similar vehicles can share clear operating steps for drivers where practical.
Fit the correct kit to each van
Common lock choices still use components matched to each vehicle model.
Work around fleet availability
Phased fitting keeps the installation plan tied to your operating schedule.
Coordinate security across working vehicles
A fleet may contain different models, door layouts and daily routines, so one fixed specification won't always work. We assess the vehicles, the loads they carry and the doors drivers use most. Similar vans can often follow the same lock type and operating procedure, while each unit still receives the fitting kit made for its construction. Hook locks, deadlocks and slam locks can be allocated according to access needs. We can also identify doors that would benefit from shielding or anti-peel reinforcement.
Keep the fleet at its normal base
We carry out on-site installation at a suitable fleet location in Banff, reducing journeys to a separate workshop. Work can be organised in batches or phases around vehicle availability, with priority given to frequently used load doors or vans carrying higher-value equipment. Before the visit, we need a clear vehicle list covering model, year and door layout. That preparation helps us plan the correct parts and an orderly fitting sequence, rather than discovering major differences after vehicles have been taken out of service.
Frequently asked questions
Can every fleet van use the same lock type?
Sometimes, particularly where models and driver routines are similar. We still check each vehicle's door construction and fitting kit. Mixed fleets may need different components or lock arrangements while retaining a consistent operating policy.
How should we prepare for fleet fitting?
Provide each van's make, model, year and door layout, along with normal availability and the loads carried. A suitable working area and keys for each vehicle also help us move through the agreed fitting sequence efficiently.
Can fleet installation be completed in phases?
Yes. We can discuss practical batches based on vehicle availability, usage and priority doors. Phasing may suit operators who can't release every van together, while still creating a coordinated plan for the fleet.
