WARNING - Be careful what you are buying online as there are shockingly bad quality Jerbor (and other) Counterfeit rip off van security products being sold on eBay. Watch out as jerbor-uk-shop have ripped off Sussex Installations images, which could make you think that you are buying a top quality Sussex Installations product, and then you will be very disappointed after waiting the long wait for your Jerbor product to arrive from China when you see the terrible quality of their Jerbor counterfeit rip off attempt at cloning a Sussex Installations product! We need to be clear that these Jerbor products are not made, sold or authorised by Sussex Installations or Sussex Installation Team LTD. We absolutely do not offer support for Jerbor rip off copied products! If you buy a Jerbor product, then we suggest that you send it back to them or throw the poor quality Jerbor product in the bin and do not fit it to your van, as it seems that they really do not have a clue what they are doing in relation to van security from our experience! If you are reading instructions sent by Jerbor that show our company name Sussex Installation Team LTD, then this is because Jerbor have ripped off parts of our instruction manual illegally and in violation of our copyright, and we are NOT affiliated with them and we have NOT authorised them to use our intellectual property. Furthermore, in our experience it seemed that they had cross-bred our instruction manuals from 3 different model vans and products with some kind of Jerbor artificial NON intelligence to produce some utter gibberish with very incorrect fitting positions for their Jerbor product that would make holes in the wrong place of your door and leave you in a huge mess!
Sussex Installations do not use resellers of our products. If you see a product sold by anyone else that looks like a Sussex Installations product, then there is a good chance that it is a counterfeit, rip off, poor quality copy of our product.
If you are looking to buy van security or get van security advice, then you should come directly to Sussex Installations via our website or give us a call on +441323 638999, https://www.sussexinstallations.co.uk
Historical context: This video records the advice, products and attack methods relevant when it was published. Current recommendations may have changed as vehicles, products and criminal methods evolved.
Jerbor is a China-based eBay seller found selling counterfeit van security shields copied from Sussex Installations' own designs and product photography. Jeff Scott bought one of their products to show buyers exactly how poor the copy is compared with the genuine item.
No. Jeff found Jerbor's instructions still carried the Sussex Installations name from the copied original, and the fitting measurements were wrong, apparently blended together from three different vehicle models, a Transit, a Vauxhall Vivaro and a Transit Custom. Following them would have drilled holes in the wrong position on a genuine Ford Transit door.
Testing on a demonstration door rather than a customer's van, the shield didn't fit at all, confirming the instructions were unusable. Even using Sussex Installations' own correct measurement for the genuine shield, the Jerbor copy still didn't match the contour of the door.
The metal shield didn't match the contour of the van door, had visible marks and a poor-quality finish, and came with a rock-hard, badly shaped gasket that wouldn't seal properly against the door, unlike the genuine Sussex Installations shield's shape-matched fit and finish.
No. Sussex Installations sells directly through its own website, eBay store and Amazon store, so any listing from another seller offering what looks like a Sussex Installations product is very likely a counterfeit or unauthorised copy.
Sussex Installations recommends returning it to the seller for a refund rather than fitting it, since these copies can be badly shaped, poorly finished and supplied with incorrect fitting instructions that risk drilling holes in the wrong place on your van.
