Product Information
Full details
The Disklok Security Edition steering wheel lock is designed for vehicle owners seeking robust protection against both keyless entry theft and traditional break-ins. Its primary benefit is the complete prevention of steering wheel movement, coupled with a free-spinning mechanism when attacked, making it exceedingly difficult for thieves to gain control or damage the vehicle's steering lock. A potential caveat is its size and weight, which may require some physical effort to install, especially for smaller individuals. This heavy-duty lock offers multi-layered security, including resistance to drilling, picking, power tool attacks, and electronic threats like key cloning.

FAQs
What does the 'Sold Secure' Automotive Gold Rating mean?
This rating signifies that the Disklok has undergone rigorous testing by Sold Secure, a leading independent security testing organization, and has met the highest standards for resistance against various theft methods, including angle grinding and drilling. Gold is the highest rating available for vehicle security devices.
How do I measure my steering wheel to ensure I get the right size?
Measure the diameter of your steering wheel from the outer edge on one side to the outer edge on the opposite side, passing through the center. The Medium size fits steering wheels measuring between 39cm and 44cm in diameter.
Can the Disklok damage my steering wheel?
When fitted correctly and used as intended, the Disklok is designed not to damage your steering wheel. The internal padding helps protect the surface. However, forcing the lock or using an incorrect size could potentially cause damage.
What happens if I lose a key?
Each Disklok comes with three high-security keys. If you lose keys, additional replacement keys can be ordered separately from the manufacturer. It is recommended to order replacements promptly.
Is the Disklok effective against all types of car theft?
The Disklok is highly effective against common theft methods such as steering wheel manipulation, break-ins, and keyless entry attacks. While no security device is 100% foolproof against determined thieves with unlimited time and resources, the Disklok provides a significant deterrent and physical barrier.
Can the Disklok be used on vehicles with airbags?
Yes, the Disklok is designed to fit over the steering wheel without interfering with the airbag system when properly installed. It encloses the exterior of the steering wheel.
How often should I lubricate the locking barrel?
It is recommended to lubricate the locking barrel with a graphite-based lubricant every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you live in a particularly dusty or wet environment, to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Disklok is difficult to lock or unlock.
Ensure the two halves are aligned correctly. The steering wheel might be under slight tension; try gently turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the tension while locking/unlocking. Clean and lubricate the barrel with graphite lubricant.
Disklok does not fit securely on the steering wheel.
Verify that you have the correct size Disklok for your steering wheel diameter. If it's the correct size, ensure it is positioned correctly and fully closed before locking.
Key is difficult to insert or turn.
Check for any debris inside the keyhole. If the lock has been exposed to elements, a small amount of graphite lubricant might help. Ensure you are using the correct key and it is fully inserted.
Theft attempt appears to have damaged the locking mechanism.
Inspect the Disklok for visible damage. If the lock is compromised or no longer functions correctly, it should be replaced immediately for continued security. Contact the manufacturer for potential replacement options or advice.
