Mechanical anti-theft systems have been in great demand by car enthusiasts for quite a long time. The Russian market today provides an extensive range of mechanical anti-theft devices from various manufacturers. However, not all products are of high quality, good technical equipment and credibility of the enterprise.
The review of the best models of anti-theft devices includes the individual anti-theft system "Dragon" and a fundamentally new security device "Interception".
Mechanical bollards "Dragon"
DRAGON or "Dragon" – anti-theft mechanical interlocks of domestic production. In the automotive market - since 2000.
The main distinguishing features of DRAGON anti-theft devices are:
- Individual development of bollards for each make and model of car, taking into account the features of their designs.
- The ability to use a mechanical anti-theft complex, consisting of several blockers.
There are several types of mechanicalDRAGON bollards that are designed to block:
- gearboxes (automatic transmission, manual transmission) and transfer case;
- steering shaft;
- bonnet.
The installation of DRAGON mechanical anti-theft systems eliminates the possibility of the car moving when it is attempted to be stolen, and also prevents access to the engine compartment due to the mechanical blocking of the vehicle's movable components and assemblies.
Installing a blocker on manual transmission, automatic transmission and transfer case
The mechanical anti-theft device "Dragon" at the checkpoint is mounted under the console and with the help of a special pin does not allow shifting gears.
In order to block the manual transmission, you must move the lever to the "reverse gear" position. For automatic transmission, the lever should be moved to the Parking position. Then the mechanism is "locked" with a special pin.
To unlock the device, just turn the key and remove the released pin into the holder.
The DRAGON mechanical interlock mounted on the transfer case prevents access to the shift control mechanism on 4WD vehicles. When trying to steal the DRAGON will not allow the car to be towed by locking the transfer case in neutral.
To secure the transfer case, you need to move the lever to a low gear (to the "L" position) and then close the mechanism with a special pin. ForTo unlock the device, turn the key and remove the released pin into the holder.
This type of blocker is recommended by the manufacturer to be installed as an additional to the mechanical blocker of the main gearbox. For some car models, even single locks are available for the main and transfer gearboxes.
Installing a lock on the steering shaft
The mechanical anti-theft device DRAGON (on the steering shaft) is designed to block the steering of the vehicle.
When a theft is attempted, a mechanical interlock creates an obstacle to turning the steering wheel, making it impossible to steer the car.
In order to block the steering shaft, it must be rotated to the standard fixation position and secured with a special pin with a larva. To unlock, use the key that must be turned to pull the pin out. The released pin must be removed in the holder.
This type of mechanical bollard resists all dismantling techniques as it is made of hard alloy materials and high strength steel.
The design of DRAGON anti-theft devices is compact and designed with an individual approach for each type of car. Locks do not change the interior design and fit perfectly into the interior of the car.
Installing a blocker on the hood
The DRAGON mechanical blocker is designed to eliminate attempts by intrudersgain access to the engine compartment of the car. The cable lock blocks the standard hood release mechanism.
Locking is carried out with the help of a special larva button built into the car interior. Unlocking is only possible with a key.
DRAGON mechanical anti-theft bollard for car hood, as a rule, creates serious interference for the thief:
- does not allow you to turn off the standard and additionally installed alarms;
- does not allow to disable the immobilizer;
- does not allow access to electrical circuits directly related to starting the engine;
- does not allow theft of units and components of the engine compartment of the car.
The greatest degree of protection is provided by a combination of hood locks with an immobilizer or an alarm.
Advantages of the anti-theft system "Dragon"
Multi-level protection. The main advantage of DRAGON blockers is the possibility of more reliable protection of your car, thanks to the simultaneous use of two or more anti-theft devices. The owner of the DRAGON anti-theft master kit has the ability to control the entire security complex with just one key
Individual design for each type of vehicle. DRAGON is suitable for equipping many car models, both passenger cars and minibuses of foreign and domestic production. Both left and right hand drive
Increased ste alth. DRAGON bollards are difficult to detect in the cabin, as they are practicallyinconspicuous and placed in those places that are hidden from prying eyes (inside the center console of the gearbox, under the dashboard or in the glove box)
Stylish design. The thoughtful appearance of the outer elements of the anti-theft bollards is ideally combined with the interior design of the car. A large selection of fittings allows you to choose the right range for the interior color
Reliability. Serial production of DRAGON mechanical anti-theft systems is carried out using modern equipment, using unique technologies and high-quality materials
"Interception" - anti-theft device
Ninety percent of vehicles fitted with mechanical anti-theft systems are statistically broken by bumping, picking or rolling through the keyhole.
As a result, fundamentally new anti-theft mechanical interlocks were invented - without a keyhole. One of these security systems is "Interception" - an anti-theft system.
"Interception-Universal" is a mechanical anti-theft device of domestic production. Produced since 2008.
The main distinguishing feature of "Interception-Universal" is the absence of a traditional keyhole, which guarantees reliable protection against the main types of opening (picks, bumping, folding).
The principle of operation of "Interception-Universal" is that the installation of mechanical anti-theft systems onthe steering shaft of the car in the closed state does not allow turning the steering wheel and blocks the operation of the pedals.
Installation of security systems "Interception-Universal"
"Interception-Universal" has a complete set consisting of a body and a removable mechanical blocker. The housing is mounted on the steering shaft and without a fixed blocker does not create obstacles to control the steering wheel and pedals of the car. When the blocker is inserted into the body, it interferes with the control of the vehicle.
The body has a split design that wraps around the steering shaft. Inside the case there is a space for inserting a blocker. There are also screws securing the housing to the steering shaft, access to which is blocked by the blocker installed in place.
Mechanical interlock is a basic locking device, the basis for a series of locking devices "Interception". The blocker is made on the basis of the unique developments of the company's specialists. It consists of a secret section of the original design, a thickened body that protects against rough impact, and a gripping part that is firmly fixed on the body shackle.
Locking the anti-theft system is easy and fast, in one motion, by installing the blocker inside the housing with the gripping part and slightly turning it around the axis. No key is required to close the lock.
Advantages of the anti-theft mechanical device "Interception-Universal"
- Unique bollard design. No keyhole.
- Reliability. The blocker is made of stainless steel, which prevents it from rusting.
- The original key. The non-standard configuration of the key does not allow forging it.
- Easy installation and removal.
- Optional accessories. The device can be equipped with a Taormina Testa Di Moro genuine leather case, and these are:
- Installation of noise insulation on the car (the blocker will not rattle in the door pocket);
- comfortable installation of the blocker in the winter.
- Low maintenance requirements. Resistant to dirt, sand and dust. Needs no maintenance or lubrication.
- 5 year warranty.
- Low cost. The price of the device is lower than other mechanical interlocks available on the Russian automotive market.
- The best blocker according to the magazine "Behind the wheel".
Conclusion
A detailed description of the two most popular mechanical locks should help the motorist make the right choice. We hope that the installation of mechanical anti-theft systems will protect your car from intruders.
