Best Steering Wheel Locks

The LC Prime VA030BE is a premium model. Unlike most steering wheel locks that open via keys, this one comes equipped with its own combination lock and lets you choose any 5-digit code, so good luck hacking this device.

Apart from its own lock, what separates this product is the hydraulic shear, incorporating reinforced alloy that protects the lock from mold, cutting, drilling, sawing, and prying. With its solid body, the model can even double as a self-defense weapon and, not unlike its high-end peers, also adopts an emergency hammer that lets you smash the windows when necessary.

As always, the lock's padded on the inside, preventing you from scratching the steering wheel. What's a little less common is the screwdriver that comes with the package and lets you remove the set screw, resetting the combination code in case you forget it.

Winner International The Club 1103 LX Series sports an intense silver/metallic finish so that you can tell the difference between this lock and its more fragile competition at a glance. Unlike less intense locks, this one cannot be pried, hammered, sawed, or freoned off. No, aside from the finish serving as an effective visual deterrent, the lock also ensures that thieves cannot physically remove/hack it. In fact, the model might prove a little awkward to remove even for you but, with time, you should get used to it. Besides that, the finish also protects the steel body from rust and corrosion.

Package-wise, you're not receiving anything special here. To go with the lock, the people behind this product send you 3 keys, so you can share them or have a few spare keys.

You can adjust the lock's length between 21.9 and 32 inches, nothing unusual there. Of course, with this length range, the lock will fit not just everyday cars but also trucks, vans, SUVs, you name them. Finally, featuring soft coating, this metal rod will not scratch the steering wheel, which is always appreciated.

In short, Winner International The Club 1103 LX Series will accommodate any vehicle between a sports car and a truck/van, making sure that the vehicle stays with you and does not leave with some thief.

Winner International The Club 1000 Original Club is a little different from its relative from the same company that we've reviewed above. First, this one's made from Chromoly steel, making the lock even more resistant to freon attacks as well as sawing, prying, and hammering. What's more, the lock comes equipped with solid steel hooks, making this model even more secure. But, not unlike its relative, this steering wheel lock adopts the company's patented self-locking feature that lets you lock this club with but one pull. The reason this model is somewhat trailing behind this relative is that the coating on this one, while also effective at making sure the lock does not scratch the interior, has a strong smell to it, a smell that doesn't go away anytime soon.

Besides that, they're the same device, including the size range that lets you set the length anywhere between 21.9 and 32 inches, making the lock suitable for SUVs, trucks, and vans. Also, this time, you cannot choose between multiple colors as the model is only available in red and black but we reckon most people will be fine with that since the paintwork is more than acceptable and the colors look good. In other words, Winner International The Club 1000 Original Club will protect your car without sacrificing aesthetics.

The Tevlaphee Steering Wheel Lock can be easily installed and removed by you but not quite as easily by thieves. No, the double-spring crescent locking mechanism that's used here is not something that most thieves can crack with relative ease. To add more, the three sub-type encoding keys that you receive with the package are pretty hard to replicate.

Because that's the case, the keys are also a little stubborn but we're fine with the trade-off. Having said that, some people will not be fine with the lock's length that you can adjust between 22 - 26.8 inches, meaning that the model will not be able to fit small cars and large SUVs.

There are at least two upsides though (besides the ones that we've mentioned already). First, the lock can be used as a safety hammer. More than that, they even send you a protective cap for the hammer end. Second, the package also includes fixing straps, so you don't have to worry about the hooks scratching the s-wheel.

All things considered, the Tevlaphee Steering Wheel Lock can become the difference between someone claiming your car as his own and that someone failing to do so even despite his best efforts. Moreover, there's practically no chance you'll accidentally damage your car with this lock.

The Winner International The Club 3000 Twin Hooks reveals its most distinctive feature with the name from the get-go. Incorporating twin hooks, the model is even more difficult to defeat than its already stubborn and secure peers from The Club line. Apart from that, we're dealing with the same beast that its relatives are. This time, the housing's not metallic or red but bright yellow, serving the same purpose, the purpose being visually deterring thieves from stealing the automobile.

Maybe this is the issue with twin hooks or maybe something else but this locking device feels a bit loose when you install it. But, despite this feeling, there's nothing suggesting that the lock is less secure, so the issue should be negligible.

What's not negligible is that the housing is made from Chromoly steel, protecting the lock from sawing, prying, tampering, hammering, and freon attacks. What's also not negligible is the soft padding that the lock's coated with, keeping the interior intact.

Without going into unnecessary details, if you want to protect your automobile from uninvited guests, the Winner International The Club 3000 Twin Hooks is the way to do it, as long as you're not driving something with an enormous or an especially small steering wheel.
