Purple Line join Secured by Design

Purple Line, a leading manufacturer of accessories and security products for caravans and recreational vehicles, is one of the latest companies to join Secured by Design (SBD), the official police security initiative.

Established in 2002, the Suffolk-based company designs and manufactures a wide range of products for the recreational vehicle market, with a strong focus on practicality, ease of use and security. Operating from its UK ‘innovation centre’, Purple Line has built a reputation for developing products that respond directly to the needs of caravan, trailer and motorhome owners.

Purple Line joins Secured by Design with several accredited products from its Fullstop® Security range, including the Excalibur receiver wheel lock, Saracen Gullwing hitch lock, Nemesis Plus wheel lock and Nemesis Ultra wheel lock.

Designed to provide robust protection for caravans, trailers, folding campers, motorhomes and campervans, the accredited range combines lightweight construction with high levels of resistance to cutting, drilling and gas freezing. The products utilise proprietary composite materials and British-made anti-pick locking systems, helping to deliver strong physical security without the weight and inconvenience often associated with traditional wheel clamps and hitch locks.

The Fullstop® Excalibur is a compact chassis receiver wheel lock developed specifically for caravans with alloy wheels, while the Saracen Gullwing hitch lock features a patented design allowing rapid one-handed fitting to compatible AL-KO hitches. The Nemesis Plus and Nemesis Ultra wheel locks have been engineered to provide quick installation and dependable protection for a wide range of recreational vehicles, making them particularly well suited for touring and overnight stops.

Several products within the range have also achieved Kiwa SCM MP03 approval, including testing for corrosion and freezing resistance, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to durability and long-term performance.

Innovation remains central to Purple Line’s approach, with continuous product development playing a key role in maintaining and improving the performance of its security solutions. By joining Secured by Design, Purple Line reinforces its commitment to developing high quality vehicle security solutions that help owners better protect their caravans, trailers and motorhomes.

Jonathan Harrison, Managing Director of Purple Line, said: “Achieving Secured by Design membership is a significant milestone for Purple Line and a testament to the strength of our Fullstop® Security range.

“Our focus has always been on delivering products that combine high-level protection with genuine ease of use. Fullstop® devices are designed to be intuitive, quick to fit and rapidly deployed, giving customers effective security without complexity or delay.

“The SBD police-backed recognition reinforces our commitment to innovation, quality and industry-leading standards. As theft prevention becomes increasingly important for caravan and motorhome owners, we are proud to offer solutions that are not only highly effective but also simple and practical to use every day.”

Lyn Poole, Secured by Design, commented: “It is always great to have a company join SBD with products that can help prevent the theft of people’s caravans, trailers and motorhomes. These items are expensive and are difficult to replace. For some people they are a mobile holiday home, or as I used to say when I had a caravan, my ‘mobile cottage’. With a company such as Purple Line producing these great security wheel and hitch locks, there is a way of preventing these thefts.”
