Disklok
Invented by the founder of Festive Lights, Disklok is the strongest and most effective full cover steering wheel security lock in the world for cars and light commercial vehicles, and the only one that is Thatcham Approved.
Unrivalled Vehicle Immobilisation
The Disklok is not a traditional bar lock. It's a reinforced steel clamshell that fully encloses the steering wheel. Its patented design allows the device to spin freely when attacked, preventing a thief from steering the vehicle or using the lock as leverage to break the steering column. This "spin-on-attack" technology makes it a formidable opponent against both opportunistic and professional car thieves.
Comprehensive Theft Deterrence
In an era of rising electronic theft, Disklok offers a vital mechanical layer of defence. By physically covering the wheel, it prevents the removal of expensive airbags and acts as a powerful visual warning that encourages criminals to move on.
- Keyless Entry Protection: Prevents "relay theft" by ensuring that even if a signal is intercepted, the car remains unsteerable.
- Anti-Angle Grinder Technology: Constructed from hardened steel with specialised internal components designed to resist modern power tools.
- Thatcham & Sold Secure Approved: Rigorously tested by independent security bodies to meet the highest automotive security standards.
Choosing the Right Fit
To ensure maximum security, a proper fit is essential. The collection includes various sizes categorised by the diameter of your steering wheel.
- Small: Typically fits 90% of modern passenger cars (35cm – 38.9cm).
- Medium: Ideal for 4x4s, larger SUVs, and light commercial vehicles (39cm – 41.5cm).
- Large: Designed for classic cars with larger wheels and heavy-duty motorhomes (41.5cm – 44cm).
Care and Maintenance
For premium leather or Alcantara wheels, we recommend using a soft inner protective cover to prevent surface marks during long-term storage. When not in use, the fold-down handle design allows the unit to be stored compactly in the boot using a dedicated hook-and-loop storage case to prevent movement while driving.
Disklok FAQs
How do I know which size Disklok I need for my car?
Measure the total diameter of your steering wheel from the outside edge to the outside edge at its widest point. Select the size category (Small, Medium, or Large) that encompasses your measurement for a secure fit.
Does the Disklok mark or damage leather steering wheels?
While the interior is designed to be smooth, we recommend using a soft steering wheel liner or cover underneath the Disklok to provide a protective barrier for soft leather or delicate upholstery.
Can a Disklok be used on vehicles with paddle shifters?
Yes, the deep-dish design of the lock typically provides enough clearance for steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, though measuring the depth of your wheel is always recommended.
Is the Disklok effective against keyless entry or relay theft?
Absolutely. While electronic theft bypasses the ignition, the Disklok is a physical barrier. Even if a thief starts the engine, they will not be able to steer the vehicle, rendering the theft attempt unsuccessful.
What makes the Disklok different from standard steering wheel bars?
Most bars can be bypassed by cutting the steering wheel itself. The Disklok encloses the entire wheel in steel, meaning the wheel can't be cut to remove the lock, and the lock spins freely to prevent any steering input.
How many keys come with a Disklok?
Every unit is supplied with three high-security keys. It's recommended to keep your Disklok key on a separate fob from your car keys to prevent a thief from gaining access to both at once.
Can I get replacement keys if I lose mine?
Yes, replacement keys can be ordered using the unique key code provided with your original set. It's important to record this code in a safe place immediately after purchase.
Is the Disklok easy to store when I am driving?
The handle of the Disklok folds down to create a circular shape that can be placed in a dedicated storage bag. Most users secure the bag in the boot or behind a seat using integrated fastening strips.
