Warranty:
The 12-gauge models include our 10-Year Vandalism Warranty. If the dispenser is rendered non-functional due to vandalism while locked and properly installed, Vandal Stop will repair or replace it — a level of protection unmatched by competitors.
Competitor Comparison:
Unlike plastic or thin-gauge metal dispensers such as those by Bobrick or Bradley, the AA-SDS-AF features solid 12-gauge stainless steel and a locking mechanism built specifically for high-risk environments. Competing models often lack both a dedicated vandalism warranty and compatibility with tamper-proof refills, leaving facilities vulnerable to downtime and theft.
