ATEK Steering Wheel Lock - Adjustable Length - Twin Bar

The twin-bar design provides two points of contact or reinforcement along the steering wheel, making it significantly harder to cut or break compared to single-bar locks.

When fitted correctly and not over-tightened, the lock should not damage your steering wheel. It is designed with a protective coating in some areas, but avoid forcing it aggressively.

The lock can be stored in your trunk, under a seat, or in a cargo area. Due to its size, it may not fit conveniently in glove compartments.

You should immediately use the second key to unlock the device. If both keys are lost, you will need to contact a locksmith or a specialized service to remove the lock, as there is no master key.

This lock is a strong deterrent against opportunistic theft and common methods. However, determined professionals with specialized tools might still be able to bypass it. It is best used as part of a comprehensive security strategy.

Lubrication is typically only needed if the lock becomes stiff or difficult to operate. A light application of graphite lubricant once a year or as needed is usually sufficient.

Ensure the steering wheel is in a straight position. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism. Try applying a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder.

Make sure the lock is not under extreme tension. Gently wiggle the steering wheel while turning the key. Ensure you are using the correct key and it is fully inserted.

Re-adjust the length to ensure a tight fit. Some steering wheels with very thick rims or unusual shapes may present fit challenges. Ensure the twin bars are properly positioned.
