0:00 -hi i'm jeff from sussex installations
0:02 -today's video is about
0:04 -going bigger look at this
0:07 -damage just getting worse and worse from
0:09 -these vans
0:11 -so
0:12 -i've got something the customer's been
0:14 -in touch with us they've sent us
0:15 -pictures we've seen the measurements of
0:16 -the damage and i guess this is something
0:18 -that's happening where damage to these
0:20 -doors on these four customs and the
0:22 -various different vehicles is is getting
0:25 -bigger and bigger and we're having to go
0:26 -sort of bigger in response to that to
0:29 -give some different solutions so we've External repair shield
0:31 -got
0:32 -our external repair shield which
0:35 -this is a sort of size that it covers up
0:37 -here that's our one which we sell many
0:40 -of and we fit lots of these to vehicles
0:42 -we fit them as repairs when to repair
0:44 -the typical damage when someone pokes a
0:45 -hole through the door to break into the
0:47 -van and also we fit them as like a
0:49 -preventative so so our customers can
0:51 -show that they've got security typically
0:53 -with the internal shield but
0:55 -it's nice sometimes to show something on
0:57 -the outside the van but what happens
0:59 -when the damage that we're trying to
1:00 -cover up goes beyond that shield so what
1:03 -we've done is this is our development
1:05 -door we've taken it and we've made an
1:06 -extended size shield which will cover up
1:10 -a much larger area so if we've got a
1:12 -situation with a vehicle like this one
1:14 -where the damage is got you know they've
1:15 -gone that much bigger that we can
1:18 -actually offer a repair solution and it
1:20 -doesn't need to go to a body shop and
1:21 -have a new door fitted to it you know we
1:23 -can put on a solution we can cover it up
1:26 -and let me show you what we've done What we have done
1:28 -so what we've done we've been in here
1:30 -we've developed and we do actually have
1:32 -this
1:34 -large size shield for a full custom and
1:37 -the idea is that when the damage is that
1:39 -much bigger we can offer a solution we
1:42 -can cover it up so let's go and see what
1:43 -we can do with this van let's see if we
1:45 -can get this van repaired back up and
1:48 -running and back on the road i guess the Does it still work
1:50 -first thing is to see does this van
1:51 -still lock and unlock and open from the
1:54 -outside
1:55 -because
1:56 -typically well a lot of them that we see
1:59 -they don't anymore
2:01 -lock
2:03 -double lock okay locked that's good
2:06 -unlock
2:08 -and it does unlock so i'll just check it
2:10 -from the inside to make sure that it's
2:12 -still functioning
2:14 -like if you're stuck in the van so you
2:16 -can still escape
2:17 -[Music]
2:19 -yeah that's good Cost
2:20 -okay so look at least good news an
2:23 -expensive part sometimes over like 400
2:25 -quid i think for for one of these it
2:27 -depends on what year the van is to how
2:28 -expensive it is but it seems to be
2:30 -between 150 and 400 pounds for that
2:33 -actual ford latch mechanism so at least
2:35 -this vehicle still function if we can
2:37 -put on our internal shield to give it
2:39 -some security against future attacks
2:41 -like that we can put on our external
2:43 -shield to cover up the damage and to
2:46 -give it some more security from attack i
2:48 -mean having a hole in the van you can't
2:50 -really drive around like that it's just
2:51 -like an open invitation to a thief to
2:52 -come in and
2:54 -come in and grab your tools you know if
2:56 -you've got any left after being broken
2:57 -into measuring up from measuring up from Damage
3:00 -this wage line
3:01 -let's go from this wage line just here
3:04 -because that's the same on the new and
3:05 -the older vans that damage
3:07 -well
3:08 -the cut is up to about
3:10 -140 550 mil but there's also a bit of
3:14 -bending that dips down a bit a bit
3:16 -further and there there so
3:18 -really the damage is like
3:21 -we'd want to cover up to 130 mil from
3:23 -that swage
3:25 -let's have a look here Shield
3:30 -of that same go to the we'll go with
3:32 -that middle swage line
3:33 -here
3:34 -so 130 yeah so our our big shield is
3:38 -going to cover that nicely that's that's
3:40 -where we want it to go and we go an
3:42 -extra 10 mil over the top of that the
3:44 -cut is up for around about here and
3:46 -that's our standard shield so
3:48 -you know they've just gone so much lower
3:49 -on this one you know so much more
3:51 -aggressive
3:54 -so before we can get
3:56 -before we can really get too much done
3:57 -in here we're gonna have to
4:00 -you know we're gonna have to cut away
4:02 -all this excess so yeah
4:04 -dan is removing that latch out there so
4:06 -we've got a bit of room to get in there
4:07 -and work
4:08 -and
4:10 -and cut and saw all this excess away and
4:12 -then we can get about fit in our shield
4:15 -you can see some damage there
4:18 -where they've gone on it okay so here we Final fit
4:20 -are the leg work's been done for this
4:21 -we're just doing that just just doing
4:23 -the final fit now so we've been through
4:25 -the process we have cut away all that
4:27 -damage from the breaking or that jagged
4:29 -metal that was sticking out that which
4:31 -would have stopped this shield from
4:32 -sitting flush because it was bulging out
4:34 -from the door we've cleaned away all of
4:37 -that debris taken away that jagged metal
4:40 -we've marked up using a gasket as a
4:42 -template for the holes for for drilling
4:44 -for these stud positions we've blown
4:46 -away all the um debris everything that
4:48 -was sort of sitting around the area
4:50 -anything that's sitting on the body work
4:51 -all these little shavings of metal which
4:53 -could later on turn into rust we've rust
4:55 -protected the bare metal where we've cut
4:58 -and drilled the holes where we've cut
4:59 -out the jagged edges we've used wax all
5:02 -to give rust protection to the bare
5:04 -metal and now we're ready to do the
5:06 -final fix okay so we're done
5:10 -lock
5:12 -double lock
5:14 -check the door handle
5:17 -unlock
5:20 -and it opens
5:21 -the damage
5:22 -has been covered up Summary
5:24 -it's not a brand new door but it is a
5:26 -good quick effective solution got this
5:29 -vehicle back on the road and it's off to
5:30 -go to work
5:32 -there's also a shield there someone's
5:34 -going to break in again then
5:36 -trouble is you take these to a body shop
5:37 -repair you might have another hole in
5:39 -the door um you know just a few days
5:41 -later or a few weeks later typically we
5:44 -would use a smaller repair shield than
5:45 -this but this is our oversized solution
5:48 -so if you've got damage to your ford
5:50 -transit custom that's bigger than a
5:51 -regular size shield will fit that will
5:54 -cover over and you need to get your van
