Steering wheel lock KAMEI

Steering wheel locks prevent the steering wheel from being turned. They are anti-theft car devices that protect your vehicle against unauthorised driving, used as a supplement to a car alarm system and/or immobiliser.

Steering wheel locks: 7 key facts

1. The most budget-friendly type is a removable one. This is attached to the steering wheel and restricts any movements by means of its side elements that rest against the windscreen, dashboard, or other interior elements. This type is bulky and you have to remove it every time you need to drive. Thieves may be able to break it with the right tools.
2. A built-in steering column lock provides a higher level of security. It is placed in a hidden, unlit place. Its only drawback is its high price.
3. Accessories might be unlocked with a key or digital code. In the first case, the car owner must always have the key with them. In the second case, it has to be learned by heart.
4. Manufacturers recommend not to use your license plate number or VIN (vehicle identification number) as a code.
5. If you’re going to buy a device with keyed access, you should opt for locks with a bump-proof disc mechanism.
6. The most durable and reliable are made from alloy steel.
7. The installation of some built-in accessories requires special tools and/or skills. If you don’t have what’s needed, contact a mechanic. Installation by a professional will take a lot less time. Besides, you could damage interior elements if you’re not sure what you’re doing.
