Wheel locks are a powerful choice for anti-theft protection for small cars. When a vehicle is parked in an unsafe location, locking it to the wheel makes it difficult for would-be thieves to attack the vehicle with heavy tools, as the lock is exposed and would create a loud, jarring noise. Wheel locks are external locks and are used on the front wheel on the driver's side. Their user-friendly design prevents damage to the tire and provides more obvious security compared to interior locks. They are resistant to cutting and prying, making it difficult for high-strength tools to break the lock.
Common types of wheel locks include:
1. Clamp-style wheel locks: Overcome the fatal weaknesses of traditional top and bottom snap locks or side snap locks that are vulnerable to technical opening.
2. Suction cup-style wheel locks: The best choice for vehicle anti-theft protection.
3. Large three-fork wheel locks: Durable and pry-resistant, suitable for large vehicles weighing over 5 tons, such as large trucks, dump trucks, and trailers.
