Steering Wheel Lock Handle is Too Short | Ideas to Make Sure that Car Lock Fits on your Vehicle

A steering lock is useless if does not touch the screen pillar, windshield, window, or car door. Because a car steering lock must make the steering wheel immovable.

This problem usually happens with anti-theft password car lock.

Steering Lock Bar is Too Short for Certain Vehicles

Although the password lock fits well on most vehicles including cars and SUVs. In fact, we also deal in car locks on our ecommerce website and through experience, we have learnt that the length of this password lock is fit for most cars, but it is too short for some vehicles.

For example, password lock is too short for:

  • Ford Truck F-150

  • Fiat Ducato van

  • Lancia Thema car

  • Volkswagen Tiguan

This means that the lock will not touch the necessary obstacles of car door, or screen pillar of these cars.

Reasons of the Problem

  • The diameter of the mini steering wheel in some vehicles is less than normal.

  • The problem of Too Short Steering Lock also occurs in some vehicles which are extra wide.

  • Of course, the length of steering lock handle is short.

Possible Solution

To avoid this problem, I suggest this solution.

If I measure the length of the handle of car from the inner part of the hook, you can see in video that it is 26 centimeters. It means that the distance between the steering wheel (from inner side) and the screen pillar of your car must be less than 26 centimeters.

Therefore, I recommend you measure this distance beforehand and then place order on for the password car lock.

In case the distance between steering wheel and pillar is more than 26 centimeters, then do not buy a password lock. Rather you can order some other car steering lock. For example, the length distance of a key steering lock is 33 centimeters. So, it might be suitable for your car.

Alternatively, you can also consider a dashboard steering wheel lock, or a steering wheel to pedal car lock.

I hope the information in this article will help you choose a steering lock that is fit for your car.
