This robust and highly visible wheel lock is designed to fit most standard steering wheels, including those with airbags. Featuring a secure clamping mechanism that anchors to both the wheel and dashboard, this lock offers maximum protection without damaging your interior. Its bright finish acts as a strong visual deterrent to thieves, while the cross-key locking mechanism and spring-loaded operation ensure quick and secure use every time. Our T-Bar steering lock clamps around the round section of the steering wheel with the bottom resting and fixing it in place on the dashboard. This system is considerably more secure and with a rubber layer covering the inside of the clamp, it will prevent marks or scratches to your steering wheel over time. It can be locked and unlocked within seconds with the unique keys provided. Featuring a special spring opening that makes this T-Bar steering lock as simple as possible to install. The bright orange finish will deter thieves from a distance making them less likely to approach the vehicle. It features a cross key locking mechanism, a much more secure type of locking system rather than a standard tubular lock. It fits most rounded steering wheels up to 7cm in thickness where the lock can reach.
This guide helps owners of vehicles protect their cars using the Simply Auto T-Bar Steering Wheel Lock. This lock provides robust security and acts as a visual deterrent to potential thieves. While it is designed for most standard steering wheels, ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
