In your opinion whats the best steering wheel lock?

ie. stoplock etc and what type?

Im thinkin of buying one at the moment so am looking at my options and also where to buy from?

Thanks in advance

Mark

 

i think the disclock ones are the best with the back of them modded

pretty sure halfords sell them

 

As above DiscLock with the mod. But this is an as well as an alarm and immobiliser not instead of.

 

disklok is the only one to go for

havent had mine modded, but it could be done easliy i expect? just a case of weldign extra sheeting on the rear parts?

 

I have an alarm and 2 immobilisers also but am looking for something a little more

what do u lot think of the straight bar type stop lock?

and if disklok is the only 1 u recommend wheres is the best place ( price wise?) to get 1 from?

Cheers Mark

 

Modified Disklok and alarm, immobiliser, tracker and a ground anchor.

 

Can I ask, what's the mod?

 

Ditto - and who does the mod, any one with a welder or what?

 

You weld plate on the back to make it fit closer to the back of the wheel/steering wheel boss. Easy enough to do if you're ok with a welder

 

Oh yes, cos I reckon I'd be sh*t hot with one of them lol

 

I plan to modify mine with some steel bars running up and down either side so it cant be prised off the s/wheel, but will still spin (bars will be shaped around the steering wheel, not completely flat! been told this is one way of getting around the lock!



And also around the lock area, weld some steel so it cant be bent apart



Sure their could be something done about the bottom hinge?

Also, does anyone elses lock feel like it wouldnt take much to bend the bar or snap it off from the top if you hold the lock and pull it upwards when it's engaged?

 

Sounds good Dave, let me know how you get one with that - might give you another one to do aswell

 

Will do, need to get my finger out, been meaning to do it for a while

 

someone got my mates off by removing the pin under the sticker on the front , the locking barrel just jumped out and released the arm
must have taken 30 secs .i put it back together in 2 mins with a new roll pin and it worked perfectly.
you can feel the pin hole through the sticker.. have had mine lightly welded over

Straight bar type ones are a waste of space. 60 seconds with a hacksaw on the steering wheel, pull it apart and hey presto its off!

Get a Disklok from Halfords if you want to get ripped off or most shows for £40.

 

cozzie_dave1, will be welding mine over too in that case

 

i`m relatively new on here what does BTTT mean on a post thanks

 

back to the top dave

so that ur post is on page 1

 

nice one will remember that thanks

 

bttt

 

I use a disclock... watched a programme with car theifs testing all different kinds, you have to remember that if somebody wants your car bad enough they'll get it, you just have to deter the best you can. The disclock took the longest time to remove and required the use of a power tool.

 

Disklok, Costcutter (50 quid) Or a show for a "second" 50 ish quid ... As above not unbreakable, but the best available.

 

I bought the new halfords own brand thatcham three approved lock and a disklok device for the handbrake to gear lever.

 

if you near surrey new one £49

 

im sure thay are 45 plus vat in costco, and thats for the silver one...?


if they are that intent to taking it, it will be gone on a low loader surely, as spend and hour grinding and cutting the discloc off,

good cat 1, 24 hr proactive tracker and a disclock and double lock or deadlock if you can the doors and thats really as far as you can go.... other than that... its insured aint it? just leave a note on the steering wheel... "if you can read this, please make sure you set fire to me afterwards" cos who wants a ragged trashed fooked car back, not me

 

duuuurrr I meant CostCo

 

uuuuuuummmmmmm

my disloc............

can i have it back when youve finished

 

Thats basically the mod people talk about. You fill the area from those bars out to the edge of it with sheet metal.

Thats scary, but also re-assuring that you found that out.

 

Rich_w, Sheet metal I thought would be easier to cut through, was thinking along the lines of something thicker, and aslong as their positioned as close to the centre of the wheel their wont be any way of it being prized off, although I do see your point about covering it all, might use thicker bars at the end like in the picture and cover the rest in sheet metal so it's not accesible!

Does anyone have a problem with the bar at the top feeling a bit flimsy, like it wouldnt takemuch to pull it off?

 

I dont know if everybody is aware but you can buy three different sizes, if you buy the right size disc lock for your wheel it should be harder to prise off , thats my way of thinking anyway

 

I think this is the mod everyone speaks of



Ps its not my pic it was someones of here about 2 years ago i just saved the pic so i could see how to mod mine (which i never got round too)
