Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VPS system?

The VPS system is an affordable rental system consisting of modular sized window guards, steel doors and adjustable steel sheeting, which are fitted externally over vacant property openings. Years of extensive development and testing went into creating this system to secure empty property. The unique design of the system permits a wide range of on-site adjustments and affixing methods to accommodate all opening sizes. Constructed from high-specification, plated steels using the most modern manufacturing techniques, our system is extremely durable and highly resistant to attack.

Who installs and removes the VPS system?

VPS trained professionals working from specially equipped vehicles carry out all installations and removals.  We hold an extensive range and quantity of products at our regional warehouses, ensuring that the correct equipment is always properly fitted. 

Why is the VPS system more cost-effective than plywood board up ?

The VPS system eliminates or dramatically reduces the potential for three major costs: break-ins, liability and wasted time. Intruders can and do easily break through plywood boards. VPS steel doors and window guards are virtually impossible to penetrate or pry open. The costs of replacing stolen equipment, repairing damage, reboarding and paying penalties for late delivery quickly add up, far surpassing the cost of rental plans offered by VPS. Plywood boards pose a number of other high-level risks-which can mean injury and liability. Boards impede easy escape in an emergency, endanger workers and others with nails and sharp protruding objects, and cut off all natural light making for unsafe conditions. Plywood is also flammable, posing an additional hazard.

Equally important, is the fact that the VPS system saves you time. Why spend hours dealing with the problems and issues that arise from protecting vacant buildings and empty homes? VPS offers a complete turnkey solution-the strongest, safest and most economical system developed for securing all your empty real estate.

How does the VPS system promote a faster property sale?

The VPS system improves the property's curb appeal and neighborhood image. All doors and screens are flush and secured for a snug fit, projecting a professionally managed and cared-for appearance. Digitally controlled doors and ventilated window guards permit natural lighting, enhancing the showing experience for real estate agents and prospective buyers.

Can VPS secure and service a large number of properties in multiple states?

Yes. VPS is a national company capable of securing and servicing all of your vacant property needs through its network of regional warehouses and trained staff. Also, we will quickly establish a new warehouse dedicated to your needs if your volume of vacant properties necessitates it.

How do authorized personnel enter and exit a property secured with the VPS system?

Authorized entry to a VPS system can be achieved in less than five seconds, reducing personal risk in unsafe locales. Our keyless doors eliminate the use of keys and master codes, and sub-codes are available for tiered access. All doors can be unlocked from the inside without keys in the event of an emergency. Escape routes are all clearly marked.
