Armed security · South Africa
Armed capability.
Controlled before deployment.
LOKD separates fixed-site Armed guarding from movement protection. Each assignment needs a documented risk reason, lawful provider and firearm controls, current officer evidence, approved post or movement orders and Operations ownership.
Two different operating models
Static protection is not movement work.
The service type determines the workforce, equipment, planning, supervision and evidence that must be costed and approved.
01 · FIXED SITEArmed static guarding
A controlled Armed post at one approved site. Post orders define duties, exclusions, issue-and-return controls, escalation and supervision.
From R 5 686 · no VAT chargedOrdinary single shift · final price depends on risk, calendar and roster02 · MOVEMENTArmed movement protection
A planned route, timing window and handover for valuable assets or exposed movements. This is not an armed-response subscription.
From R 8 166 · no VAT chargedClient vehicle · ordinary single movement · minimum planning How the quote is built
No single “guard rate” hides the real service.
Your quote reflects the role, operating hours, equipment, planning and supervision required, with no VAT added to the final total.

Non-negotiable controls
Evidence must remain current through the shift.
An Armed interest, high PSiRA grade or previous experience never bypasses LOKD's assignment gate. If required evidence expires or a control changes, the affected offer or activation blocks.

Pricing boundary
Partner and vehicle costs cannot be guessed.
Travel, supplied vehicles, armoured partner capacity, overnight work and urgent mobilisation are priced separately. An armoured-vehicle estimate remains held for Operations review until a current supplier quote is attached; payment cannot clear against the placeholder.
