Automobile Anti-Theft Devices

Jacksonville locksmiths can do a lot to protect residents from automobile theft, and a relatively small investment in security can save you a lot of money and a lot of inconvenience.  Below we would like to pass along a list of commonly used theft prevention devices that can help to keep your car out of the hands of thieves.  The fact is that virtually all automobile thefts can be prevented through the use of the right combinations of these security solutions.

Siren Alarms

We have all heard these alarms, and they sure are loud enough to scare off even the boldest of thieves.  I seem to hear a lot of these sirens go off inadvertently, but if they can be routinely triggered by nothing, they must be extra sensitive to real crooks, right?

“The Club” Type Steering Wheel Locks

If you are a thief looking into a car window and you see the steering wheel locked with one of these bars, you are probably going to walk past.

Theft Protection Collars

These could be described as a steering column lock that is tougher to compromise than products like “The Club.”  It is a three-part solid steel collar that that essentially wraps around your steering column.

Smart Keys

Smart keys utilize infrared and radio frequency technology that makes having your smart key the only way to start the car.

Vehicle Kill Switches

A hidden switch that must be turned on before the car can be started.

Wheel Locks

These are similar to the “boots” that many cities put on cars that owe back traffic tickets to immobilize them.  The only difference is that with these, it’s you that has the key, not the traffic police.
