Tevlaphee Steering Wheel Lock, Steering Lock, Car Steering Wheel Lock, Vehicle Anti-Theft Lock, Adjustable, Universal Fit, Heavy Duty(Red)

I’m very happy with this purchase. The Tevlaphee steering wheel lock feels solid and well-built—exactly what I needed for added peace of mind. It fits my steering wheel perfectly and the bright yellow colour makes it a strong visual deterrent. One feature I really like is that it’s extendable, making it easy to adjust and fit securely on different steering wheels. The lock mechanism is smooth and easy to operate, yet feels very secure. Everything about this product—from the packaging to the actual use—gives a sense of quality.

I like things that are well designed and fully thought through. This anti-theft lock appears both. While a true test can only be thwarting a determined thief it appears robust, well designed and extremely well packaged.The robustness of the design is self evident when picking up the device straight from the packaging and the ease of fitting it on the car steering wheel is simplified with not requiring a key to lock it in position. I appreciate some of the other comments about ensuring you have the key to enable unlocking but it does come with three keys so there are enough to attach to both main and spare car keys with a extra one for peace of mind. Personally I do not agree with some comments that the keys seem thin as they appear perfectly acceptable to me.In terms of being well thought out the inclusion of felt self adhesive pads (and spares) to protect the steering wheel, plus the addition of a velcro strap to keep the lock closed when not fitted, is a nice touch. The cherry on the cake is a plastic cover for the pointed, spiked end hammer with a spare should you end up having to use it. Make sure you spot the spare at the bottom of the styrofoam packaging!Great product, well thought out and supplied with spares. Hopefully the visual deterrent is enough - I went for the yellow - and I do not have to revisit this review with an update!

The number of car break-ins in my area has been steadily increasing in recent years.With my car parked on the drive it is difficult to defend against.I decided to get a steering lock as an extra way of deterring opportunist criminals who might see my less protected neighbour’s cars as easier pickings.Steering locks have changed a lot since I bought one for my first Mini-Metro in the 1990s.Car steering wheels have got thicker with all the unnecessary tech-buttons so my old steering lock won’t fit. My old steering lock was metal and wore away at the steering wheel – the main reason I stopped using it. My old steering lock also had flakes of yellow paint dropping off it into my car interior due to repetitive use over time.My new model steering lock would need to be able to handle bigger steering wheels, not damage the steering wheel and not shed little flakes of yellow paint!. It also needs to be bright yellow to be seen.The locking process does not require a key.You place this device on the steering wheel hooked to one part of the inner circumference of the wheel and drag it open to the other side of the inner wheel.You then cannot drag it closed again without using the key.This saves time and is easy to do. It is also a bit risky if you don’t have your key with you when you apply it. With my old steering lock you had to have the key to lock it on.It comes with three keys.They are advertised as virtually unique.The thing that slightly troubles me about them is they are thin wedge-shaped keys.The key could get bent and then you are stuck unable to unlock it until you get your hands on the spare. Again if you had to use the key to lock it in place, this would reduce risk of being stuck outside the local pet grooming salon unable to unlock your steering lock.Many car steering wheels stick up in the centre. Presumably air-bags and tech.This means steering locks that go directly across the centre of the steering wheel don’t fit or will sound the car horn each time you add or remove it. This model allows applying the steering lock just above the centre section of the wheel to avoid this problem.The connectors to the wheel are silver metal but come with rubber bits you stick over them to protect your steering wheel from damage. Not sure why they do not come attached but it is only a one off job to stick them on.The steering lock is relatively small and lightweight with only one metal bar.I supposed a determined well-kitted out scumbag could cut through it.No steering lock will prevent all attacks. Other steering locks have two bars but you are usually then looking at a model that goes over the centre of the steering wheel.Most of it is yellow making it visible.It all seems OK to me. Just check your key before applying it. A steering lock won’t prevent a car ransacking but it sends a message of a more security conscious owner who is less likely to have left a smart phone in the glove compartment and a Picasso is the boot. It continues to astonish me how people leave so much stuff in their car on display for opportunist smash and grab.

Not awkward to put on and does the job.

Fits in seconds great deterent solid build quality easy to lock and unlock.

Very substantial and will hopefully do the job.

Happy with my product. Small enough for storage and easy to apply to steering wheel. I know it probably isn’t as effective as other products but it least I will use it rather that have it sitting in a car boot because it is too heavy and clumsy for me to use.

It appears to be a well made sturdy item which would deter most car thieves but I would not know until someone had a go at stealing my car. You need to take car when putting it on and taking it off as it is a bit unkind to the steering wheel.Otherwise a good item. M.
