Tevlaphee steering wheel lock – adjustable anti-theft device (orange)
If you want a straightforward, highly visible way to protect your car, this steering wheel lock is a solid bet. It’s dead easy to use — one pull to lock, key to release — so no faffing about with fiddly mechanisms. The bright orange finish is deliberately loud: any opportunist glancing through the window will usually think twice before messing about with your vehicle.
Features at a glance
- Fast, one-pull self-locking action for quick fitment and removal when you’re in a hurry.
- Robust construction from alloy steel and aluminium — built to resist prising, sawing and hammering.
- Precise double-spring crescent key cylinder; three keys supplied for convenience and spares.
- Adjustable length with multi-node design to suit a wide range of steering wheels; includes a Velcro strap for neat storage.
- Comfortable sponge-padded grip and four anti-wear pads to protect the steering rim from marks or pressure.
- Built-in cone-headed safety hammer with two hammer caps and a protective cap to prevent accidental damage when stowed.
Why this lock is useful
Whether you’re parking in town, leaving the car overnight or popping into a shop, a visible deterrent like this does most of the heavy lifting. It prevents someone from simply driving off even if they manage to get inside. And as a handy safety extra, the hammer on the tail can be used to break a side window in an emergency — a reassuring backup to have on the passenger seat or tucked in the boot.
What’s included and practical notes
- One steering wheel lock (orange), three precision keys, a fixing Velcro strap, two hammer caps, four inner-layer protective straps and a user manual.
- Product dimensions: 41.4 x 8.89 x 3.05 cm. Item weight: 1.44 kg. Model/part number: LA80010.
- Designed to be fitted behind the wheel so it won’t sit on top of the airbag — an important point for safer placement.
- Manufacturer tests indicate it takes more than 45 minutes to cut through all three parts — most opportunist thieves will move on long before that.
Fit, use and common questions
Will it fit your car? The lock is adjustable and will suit most standard steering wheels. If your wheel is unusually thick or an odd shape, it’s worth checking the measurements first. No batteries needed — the straightforward key lock is reliable and quick: one pull to lock, key to unlock. Protective pads are included so it won’t mark your steering wheel, and the Velcro strap keeps the lock tidy when it’s not in use.
One last thing — this is a strong physical and visual deterrent and a useful safety tool, but it’s not a replacement for sensible parking practice or a proper alarm system. Think of it as an extra layer that makes a thief’s life much harder and gives you far more peace of mind.
