Disklok Security Device - Steering Wheel Lock - Full Cover - Silver - Thatcham Approved (Medium, 15.4in - 16.3in)

My husband works in a.... less-than-desirable neighborhood in a major city. He has had his car broken into no less than 5 time and TWICE his airbag was stolen out of the center of the steering wheel. Apparently this is a commonly stolen item, so much so that it is illegal to buy a used airbag in our tri-state area. Well buying a new one costs about $2500 and so after the second time, our insurance company was NOT happy. Other than paying for a parking spot (that was hundreds per month and also not 100% crime proof according to his colleagues) I searched for some kind of security mechanism that will prevent a third air bag napping. This is it!! It is heavy duty and feels almost medieval but it has literally preventing another theft. A few weeks of using it and my husband's car was again stolen from -- but not the airbag!! we bought it with no reviews -- which felt risky but for him it has been so easy to use and so effective. The lock works via key and has held up well.

The Small Disklok fits my 2018 Camaro. This device seems very sturdy and secure and is very easy to install and remove. The locking mechanism seems well thought out and inspires confidence in this device. Comes with 3 keys and a tag with a key code. Don't lose that! While it is on the large side and a bit heavy, this is a good thing. The arm folds inside the unit and it stores behind the front seats. When installed it looks intimidating and hopefully makes a potential thief look elsewhere. I have tried several other devices (You know what they are) and found them wanting. I was in Law Enforcement for over 30 years in a large city and I have recovered numerous stolen cars. Some had 'other' devices that were easily defeated. While there are no guarantees and any device can be defeated, I feel that the Disklok will provide the best security for the money and type of device. You get what you pay for!

Exactly as i expected it to be, excellent material, massive, strong and surprisingly - easy to fit. Sleeping better now.

The Disklok is really strong, and it makes my car look like it's on serious lockdown to anyone walking by. It makes me feel way more comfortable if I have to park on the street overnight. It only takes me about 15 seconds to pick it up, unlock it, and put it on; and another 15 seconds to unlock it, take it off, and put it away again. And it comes with 3 keys, which is nice. But it's HEAVY! And big. So I can't store it under my seat, which is a bummer. And it's metal, so it gets HOT! It was 105F today, and even with my sunshade keeping all the sunlight out, I burned myself a little taking the Disklok off the steering wheel. If the sun had been hitting it directly, I would have needed gloves or something! Also, it takes some practice to use the Disklok without banging your windshield with the metal arm, but if you hold the arm at the base with your left hand, and take the right half of the Disklok off with your right hand (like in the videos), you should be good. Overall, I think this was a good purchase, and it makes me feel way more secure about leaving my car outside. Storing the Disklok is kind of a hassle because it's so big and heavy, but I guess that's what makes it so secure!

Easy to use, and a great deterrent :)

I have it on my soviet volga gaz 24 1978 model , it is high quality and no you cannot steer from behind as some reviews claim it will bump into the window or on the side or into the shift stick ..... make sure that it is the same for you..... I have a kill switch disklock and an alarm .....great product

I bought the small size for modified civic that I hardly drive. It was stolen before the purchase of the disklok. It has a good fit on my 90’s civic with stock steering wheel. Can you still drive the car as another reviewer mentioned? In my case, yes but I wouldn’t do it. Yes, you can drive in a straight line, no problem...but last I checked, roads have turns. You cannot drive a vehicle safely or quickly with the disklok installed properly, which means, a good fit. Granted, my vehicle doesn’t have power steering so that adds to the difficulty when trying to drive with the disklok in place. I know that a rebuttal may be that a thief won’t care about safety but they do factor in speed. If you can slow down an amateur, they will most likely move on. A pro, forget it, if they want your car, they are taking it, disklok or not. So, use common sense and buy the disklok but don’t let it be your only line of defense. I have numerous kill switches, remove the main relay, and park my other vehicle behind the civic to block it in. I know it’s not practical, easy or probably applicable to you but every bit helps. When I do take my vehicle out for a spirited canyon drive and run an errand, the disklok does certainly give me added peace of mind. I do not feel invincible though but nothing you can buy will. Sure, it’s heavy, a bit of a pain to unlock sometimes but it’s still amazing and I would buy it again. Remember, this is a product designed to fit as many vehicles as possible, not to fit “your” car perfectly. The disklok accomplishes this task and at a great price point. If you want to criticize it, come up with a better product yourself. You might be able to, but it probably won’t fit as many vehicles as this can and it will be far more expensive. To summarize and in other words, unless a thief is just going to drive away a short distance in a straight line this should slow them down. Also, if they really want your car, they’re taking it. They can always use a tow truck and be gone in seconds. Don’t bring this product down by asking it to do the impossible. I was not paid for this review. Actually, I bought it used on Amazon. Just a normal guy who appreciates a well thought out product.

As advertised and I believe it is enough of a deterrent to warrant the price. Since there’s plenty written about this product online and demonstrated on YouTube, I’ll just address some of the negative things that have been said… At least one reviewer mentioned that it’s possible to still partially hold the bottom part of the steering wheel (towards the back of the wheel) and still steer the car. I tested it on my car, and that reviewer is correct but only to an extent. You can still steer the car (in the way I mentioned) but you probably couldn’t safely drive more than 5 MPH, your turns would be extremely slow. In other words, you could only do this in an empty parking lot. When you consider the way a thief wants to drive once the car is stolen (fast, rolling fast stops, etc.), I just can’t imagine a thief being able to do this with this device on. If he/she did, it would be slow getaway and either police get them easily or (if you carry a firearm) you could out the tires (just a thought). And they’d have a hard time navigating out of a crowded parking lot or a space parallel parked. Thus, while that reviewer is correct that the wheel can be partially steered, this device still serves its purpose and is enough of a deterrent. Also, the only way you could make the wheel completely cover every aspect of the wheel is if the company made a custom one for each wheel, and that would be impractical for the company and would raise the price a lot. Also, the device is not as heavy as some people say. I’m frail and can’t bench my own weight, and I don’t have an issue taking it off and placing it in the seat behind me. It is big though, and it you’ll have to learn at first when taking it off/on to not crash your windshield, but you’ll adjust. People who keep their cars clear of extra stuff (on floor, seats, etc.) won’t have issues, but if you keep lots of stuff (car seat, etc.), you’ll have to plan ahead where you want to keep this thing. This thing is sturdy, and I tested my three keys multiple times before using—no issues. The instructions tell you what your options are if you lose all keys or you can’t get it off. Lastly, this silver thing really stands out to anyone who passes by the car. Again, its ultimate purpose is deterrence, and it does that I believe. I’d buy it again (though hopefully I’ll never have to).
