Are these steering locks of any use? Can they be easily picked?

@afnanSJfayaz

Mohtaram Ayaz Sahib,
Most of the locks can be picked but one has to be an experienced locksmith with decades of experience to do so. I think Abloy 362 can't be picked. This is the strongest lock in the world (Grade 6) from Finland:

If one uses it on the steering column, that's it, you have the ultimate security.

Regards and take care.

Mohtaram superangel sahib,
Have you ever heard about or seen magnetic key locks ?
They are very rare now.
But think about a thief dealing with keyless lock

Dear all,
So here is the answer. Put this lock in the T of the steering of any car and there you go. It is virtually unstealable. Here is the ultimate padlock in the world: The Abloy PL 362, a Grade 6.

Mohtaram Waqar Sahib,
We used to have it in my hostel life. We would lock our cupboards with all kinds of locks. It was back in the late 70s and boys in the hostel had all kinds of tricks about picking a lock. Some bought the magnetic locks of the kind shown by you. Still a small hole was devised where a needle of a compass was inserted to pick it. Boys used to lose their keys and they had their own tricks about how to make do without it (the keys) and discovering their own methods about picking. Boy! That time was really smart.

Regards and take care.

By doing so he won't be able to take away your car. That is the ultimate goal; car should be unstealable.

Great sir. I won't say anything now
I had two locks but they are useless because their key magnets are weak now

@mfdarvesh

Mohtaram Darvesh Sahib,
In the event of anybody putting elfy into the keyhole of a lock, it renders the lock useless. You will have to pry open it and if you can't then use a grinder to cut the shackle and in case of Abloy locks which can't be opened by either of the two techniques then you will have to cut the staple or the slide bolt if it is there in the assembly (kunday ko kaat kay torna paray ga).

Regards and take care.

@chdemon

I think one has to be more knowledgeable before commenting on car security. The steering column lock is not only recommended by the police but I know of several incidents where it has proved as an effective deterrent in attempted thefts of Toyota Corollas. Police recommend the 'Unity' lock for such purpose and not the 'Tri-circle' one. I wonder what is making you so upset chdemon bhai for it will only perturb a car thief. Are you one of them sir?

I know many car thieves are also gleaning this forum. I hope you are not one of them chdemon bhai!!!

Easy
park car either in front of your eyes or at parking lot jahan app ko 20 per park denay hotay hain

[hashamraja]

Easy solution: your car will not even get scratched or will be stolen In sha Allah..

Just read Ayat-ul- kursi and make neeyat in mind that it is for protecting your car and have faith in Allah, that's what i do

[Xulfiqar]

disarm the ECU via some wiring reroute and then reworking. This leaves the thief open to arrive with a complete wiring harness and ECU to steal the car.

NICE.

BUT its still not a guarantee that your car is safe, I have seen cars stolen in Karachi via forklift/truck or even a standard truck, freewheel hub dollies etc. SO IF you really really want to protect your car, get some industrial strength cable about 3 inches thick, bury a loop of it in concrete and attach a shackle clamp to its free end and tie the car to the cable with some sort of HD lock, also get a shackle casing for the lock.

This presents 3 barriers for the thief - one to undo the case, one to undo the lock and one to undo the shackle.

The ultimate car security would be "smith and wesson" install it under the steering aimed at the crotch and arm it as such that it fires upon either security logic sequence or remote control (phone etc).
