Armaplate was formed in 1996 by former Fleet Managers who were well aware of the problems caused by constant theft-attacks of light commercial vehicles. In an effort to eradicate the problem, they designed a lock protection system and invested heavily in the tooling required to produce the first plates.

Initially, lock protection systems were designed for the Ford Transit and following the success of these, further models were added to the product range. Now, there are more than 18 vehicles catered for, with additional vehicles being added all the time. In addition to the Armaplate Lock Protection Systems, we also offer solutions to the recent (and well publicised) security weakness in the new-style Ford Transit.

Armaplate operate from premises in the North West area of the UK but have outlets throughout the country via third parties (master locksmiths, agents, etc). In 2006 we began trading in the USA (New York) and we also launched our first franchise - within 12 months we added a further six. Additionally, we are selecting agents in European countries including Holland, France and Italy. This expansion is expected to grow considerably between 2007/2008 with the appointment of more overseas agents.

For the first ten years of trading, all our installation work was done in-house, but we now have a network of qualified installation engineers spread across the whole of the UK ready to provide you with the first-class service that Armaplate users have come to expect.
