Product Information

Full details

The KAV Twin Bar Steering Wheel Lock is designed for vehicle owners who want a straightforward, high-visibility security solution for cars, SUVs, vans, and trucks. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of hardened steel durability and a vibrant yellow finish that acts as a strong visual deterrent to potential thieves. While it provides excellent physical resistance to cutting and sawing, users should be aware that the device must be manually locked and unlocked every time the vehicle is used, requiring quick habit-building for daily commuters.

FAQs

Can I leave the lock in place while driving?

No, for safety reasons, the steering wheel lock must be completely removed and stored before you start operating the vehicle.

What should I do if I lose both keys?

Since the device is a mechanical lock, it is vital to keep your spare key in a secure location. If both are lost, the device may need to be professionally cut off by a locksmith.

Will this scratch my leather steering wheel?

No, the contact points of the device are covered in a soft PVC coating specifically designed to protect steering wheel surfaces from damage.

Does it fit large truck steering wheels?

Yes, the adjustable design allows it to accommodate the larger steering wheel diameters typical of vans, motorhomes, and trucks.

How do I use it as a safety tool?

In an emergency, the hardened steel body can be used to forcefully strike and shatter tempered side windows if the doors are jammed.

Troubleshooting

The lock feels stiff or difficult to turn with the key.

Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant into the keyway and insert the key several times to distribute it.

The device does not seem to fit securely on the steering wheel.

Ensure the adjustable bar is fully extended or retracted to the correct setting for your specific steering wheel diameter before locking.

Compatibility: This device is a universal fit for most steering wheels found in cars, SUVs, vans, and commercial trucks.

Care Instructions: To keep the lock functioning smoothly, periodically wipe the metal surfaces with a clean, dry cloth.
