Steering Locks

[Nick1974]

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent steering lock for motorhomes please? Does it need to be a specific type for insurance? Thanks in advance

 

[Stealaway]

I think I would be buying be ne of these, if only because of the smallness and ease of use.

If your seat swivels -have you thought about a set lock? There are various types.

Disklok.!!@@@

Thank you

Have you considered one of these. I have one, very substantial item and should be ridiculously hard to remove.

ATE pedal lock

I was searching for another security measure to protect our motorhome from theft, and thought of the excellent clutch claw, as was marketed to motorhomers at shows a few years ago. Not a bad price at £119, but the ability to fit an automatic van was a bit vague and non comital from the company...

Another thumbs up for the disklok

Stoplock Pro here, easier stored.

Disklock is my choice, a PIA to store but all the other types of wheel lock can be defeated by cutting the steering wheel with bolt croppers

Stoplock Pro and clutch/brake pedal lock……..


(oh…..and a few lights!)

Still using the same disklok I bought after some scrote tried to steal my car in a NCP. I came back to find the door lock forced and the steering wheel lying on the seat because the thief had snapped the steering column while trying to break the steering lock.

Who knew you could steer using a mole grip to get out of the car park and onto a recovery truck.

Another stoplock pro user.
But they’re only a visual deterrent to put off casual thieves.
I’ve heard it said that a competent thief will use that lock to aid them breaking the steering lock.

Disclock - make sure you buy the right size for your vehicle as they sell different sizes.

I once drove my wife to a wedding reception at the Irish Centre in Leeds (York Road) and after drinking orange juice all night, seeing the grooms family scrapping with everyone and most others off their heads, I persuaded my wife it was time to go. We left before midnight only to find that someone had broke into my car and stole the steering wheel!
I took a screwdriver to the stereo and my wife asked me what I was doing?
I said they’d be back later to pull the stereo out as they’d nicked the facia off the front.
She then said, do you mean this? I took it off before we went inside and put it in my handbag!

I use a Stoplok on ours, mainly as a deterrent to the casual thief as the tubular style lock that's fitted to a lot of these devices is quite easily picked and won't be a problem to a serious thief.

Hi Stealaway where did you get your set lock?

 

[Larrynwin]

I also have Disklok, a visible deterrent.

I have one of these, the are brilliant as no drilling was required due to there being a factory drilled hole ready to attach it to. Paires with my CLutch claw and door chains that hook onto the bottom of the seat belts. stops the door opening more than an inch. i have also put a habitation door lock that i can open and lock form the inside and outside.

Swivel seat security

Hi I have fitted my disklok to my van and my friend said why don’t I turn my swivel seat around and drill a hole in the runner and padlock it in the turned around position so they won’t be able to sit and drive if they go to steal It has anybody done this

2 very useful threads.
I also have a cluch claw, very visible with its flashing led, and a Micky mouse steering wheel lock.(probably does little other than draw attention to fact that physical measures exist.)

Anything visual will help deter the opportunist. But will not stop the professional thief.

 

[Stealaway]

Hi Stealaway where did you get your set lock?

I had my one in stock from all my old motorbikes. Search eBay for motorcycle disc lock. Oxford Products also do a wide range of them

 

[POH]

I have disklock and the patriot lock for when we turn the seats round , the more hurdles put in the scrotes way the better IMO.

 

[gus-lopez]

I use a stoplock ,along with a clutch claw, obd lock ,etc;etc:etc.
Best steering wheel lock isn't sold anymore used to be the digitally locked 50,000 volt taser one.
bit steep at £199 & that was over 20 years ago. Don't think they are legal now?

 

[monkeybrand]

I have a clutch claw and an Oxford Patriot lock for the seat.
