Car Door Locks And Security Systems: Protection Against Car Theft

In the early days, the only way to unlock your car is to use your car keys.  Power door locks were features only found in luxury cars. Nowadays, power door locks are a standard feature in most cars.

With technological advances, there are various ways to open your car door:

 use your key
 press the unlock button inside the car
 enter the code in the combination lock outside the door
 use your keyless entry remote control
 pull up the knob on the inside of the door
 through a signal sent by a control center

Unfortunately, car locks are easily picked, so installing a good security system is a must.  You certainly don’t want your car driven away while you’re having a romantic dinner with your loved one, nor your stereo and other valuables stolen.

The following are some of the best car alarm or security system available in the market:

 LoJack Car Tracking System

The LoJack is installed in a hidden location in the car and when someone steals your car and drives away, the police can activate the radio transmitter on the LoJack device which will begin broadcasting a signal, enabling the authorities to know where the stolen car is.  It is said that this alarm system has a 90% recovery rate.

 Galaxy 2100RS

This is a car alarm system which enables a two-way communication between your car and a hand held monitoring device.  If a thief starts your car, you can disable it at a click of a button.

 Autocop and Piranha

The basic version equipped your car with a central locking and burglar alarm for all four doors, windows and wheels. There is also a reverse horn and impact sensor that beeps, and two remote-control switches.  The advanced version includes ultrasonic sensors, which when activated create laser beams across the windows that trip off an alarm, protecting your car’s interior in case you have left a window down accidentally.

The more expensive models come with a six hour battery back up siren as carnappers are known to cut the wires to deactivate the alarm.  Also included is a remote engine starter which has a picture display letting you know when your car is being tampered with.

So protect your car from thieves.  Your car’s door lock mechanism may not be enough to deter carnappers.  Install an effective car alarm/security system.
