A new proposal for mechanical locks: Protecting your beloved car strongly and gently.

Vehicle theft has been on the rise again in recent years. While car theft using methods like relay attacks and CAN invaders is a problem, physical countermeasures that "create a state where the vehicle cannot be moved" are also gaining attention. However, existing lock products have issues such as scratching vehicles and causing injuries during use. Therefore, this product incorporates user perspectives into its specifications, aiming to reduce vehicle damage, improve safety during handling, and enhance ease of daily use, and has been developed as a "security item that can be used with peace of mind." This product is a mechanical lock developed with the concept of protecting your beloved car strongly and gently. By fixing the brake pedal, it physically prevents engine starting and shift operation, demonstrating a high anti-theft effect.

Product Features

1. Robust design that thoroughly blocks vehicle movement

High-strength steel firmly secures the brake pedal arm. It physically locks engine starting and shift operation, preventing theft and unauthorized driving. It is a mechanical lock system that exhibits high anti-theft performance.

2. "Gentle design" that is unlikely to scratch your beloved car

The contact surfaces of the pedal arm are edge-treated to reduce scratches on the arm. Furthermore, it is designed with safety in mind by intentionally not including sharp parts such as glass hammers that can easily scratch the interior.

3. Balances safety and ease of use

Adopts a springless structure to prevent recoil during attachment and detachment. It prevents pinching of hands and fingers, allowing for safe and smooth attachment and detachment. It can be handled with peace of mind.

4. Compatible with various car models

Designed to be compatible with everything from mini vehicles to SUVs and minivans. It can be installed on vehicles that meet the following conditions:

Brake pedal arm width 5-14mm, and height from floor to pedal arm 100mm or more.
