crook lock

[yellow8]

I lost the key of my crook lock. Is it any way can open the crook lock without the key.

I cannot tell you here how to do it, but the answer is yes.

I could get a crook lock off almost as quickly as you could by using the key.

Sad to say, not a good device but at least a deterrant for some.

Thank you Paul, I wish you can tell me how to unlock it.

[M-A-T-R-I-X]

me too, i had the same problem a while back

Thank you Zacsmaster. But how do you unlock it without a key?

I shouldn't really post this here, but ..... you can either bend the steering wheel back to a position so that it slides out of the Krook Lock or simply hack saw through the steering wheel..... obviously new steering wheel is then required.....

The bending back one is how the thieves usually remove the lock - they recline the seat, sit on the gap between the top of the seat and the headrest and bend the steering wheel with their feet..... I saw it done once by a 12 year old trainee car thief... scary or what ?

or even cut the crook lock off rather than the steering wheel!!

Can you get hold of one of the local car thieves, they will normally get it off for free....

[david1702198]

lets get one thing straight, a crook lock does not make it impossible to steal a car, all a crook lock does it make it harder and more time consuming to steal a car. which 9/10 times is enough to deter a car thief.

Its not just the krook lock, its most of the steering wheel type bars, most of them just slow down the theft , if you really want to prevent theft take out an ignition lead , there is no way they can take it if it won't start, unless of course they lift it with an hiab !
