Smash-and-grabs leave drivers with a shattered window and thousands in stolen gear. Anchor Vault is a 14-gauge steel lockbox that bolts to the anchors already in your car — no drilling — so you stop hiding your stuff and start parking without the dread.

A loose box in your trunk isn’t security. It’s a handle.
Most vehicle safes sit loose in the cargo area — break the window, pick up the box, and the thief deals with the lock somewhere private, on their own time. Anchor Vault doesn’t give them that option. A 14-gauge steel lockbox, anchored directly to your hatchback’s existing LATCH tether points through a hexagonal rear grate and Crosby clips. No drilling. Nothing to pick up and walk away with.
It won’t stop someone from trying. It stops them from succeeding.
Thieves Get the Glass.
Not Your Gear.
The window is the fast part to fix. The person who broke it is already gone — and so is whatever you left in the car. Here's what's actually on the table when you park without Anchor Vault.
The expanded-hexagonal grate is what locks onto your back seat's tether anchors — no drilling.
14-gauge steel. Disc lock sold separately.
No Drilling.
No Modifications.
Built on hardware your hatchback already has.
Your hatchback already has LATCH tether anchors or seat-mounting bolts back there — the same hardware built for child seats.
A Crosby clip's U-bolt wraps the LATCH tether anchor, passes through the hexagonal grate, and is secured with a saddle and hex nuts — tightened down with a wrench.
The box is anchored to the car. Without the key, it isn't coming out — and neither is what's inside.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which vehicles does Anchor Vault fit?
Launching with model-specific kits for the Toyota Prius and Subaru Crosstrek. More vehicles are on the way — vote for yours.
Does it require drilling?
No. Anchor Vault clamps onto your vehicle’s factory LATCH and top-tether anchors with wire-rope clamps. No drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications.
What kind of lock do I need?
Your call. The universal hasp accepts any standard padlock or disc lock — bring the one you trust. Lock not included.
How is this different from a lockbox or a cable-locked box?
A regular lockbox just sits there — break the window, carry the whole box away. Cable locks cut in seconds. Anchor Vault is 14-gauge steel physically clamped to your car’s factory anchors. It doesn’t just lock your gear. It locks itself to the car.
How much does it weigh?
38 lbs 13.8 oz. It’s not subtle, and that’s the point.
When can I get one?
Anchor Vault is coming to Kickstarter. Join the launch list and you’ll get one email when we launch — no spam, ever.
Four Years in the Making.
One tradesman who wouldn't ship sheet-metal theater.
I'm Adé, a Bay Area tradesman. My background is in high-stakes industrial systems — where a part failing isn't an inconvenience, it's a lawsuit. Your gear gets built to that standard.
I started Anchor Vault because every "vehicle safe" out there is the same compromise: a thin steel box on a cable, built for a handgun, too small for your backpack or your tools. Meanwhile, people I know still find glass in their seat every week. You shouldn't have to choose between a flimsy box and gutting your car every time you park.
Four years later, you don't have to.
Got Nothing.
Park anywhere. Drop your gear in. Walk away.
If you're tired of hiding your gear every time you park, Anchor Vault is the fix. Get in early.
