Why Choose Vandal Stop?
Most competitor boxes, such as those offered by Bradley or Bobrick, use thinner materials and don’t offer dedicated protection against vandalism. Our 12-gauge stainless steel enclosures feature over 2.5x the impact resistance of typical 18-gauge products and are backed by a 10-year vandalism warranty — an industry-first. If damaged due to abuse, we'll repair or replace it.

Supply Chain
Due to increased demand, more time be required for production. If you have a critical delivery date requirement, please call or email to verify lead times prior to placing an order.
Stocked Items
For certain items that we sell often, we do our best to either keep inventory on the shelf or keep a constant production cue going. For items that are considered "stocked" we will generally be able to ship within 5 business days or less.
Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?
We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.

Credit Card orders will be charged at the time of checkout. If you wish to be billed when your order ships, you can use the "Pay by Purchase Order" option on the payment section of checkout.
