Welcome to your industry news weekly! As we're approaching the end of 2023, we thought we'd run a short series of advice editorials, news, and product information that have featured in LASN during the year. This week we have a timely reminder about van security with Mul-T-Lock provides OnPoint Electrics’ van security news item. This is the time of year when vans are left idle perhaps longer than most other times, and with less daylight available, it's better to deny thieves the opportunity, than pay for it later.

We welcome comments on any item in Locks and Security News on our FaceBook page. You can find us at:
