Disklok Gold Edition Steering Lock (Large) review

The visible deterrent for high-risk areas and desirable cars

By Tom Rowland · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker

Our verdict
4.6 / 5

The Disklok covers the entire wheel rather than clamping one section, spins freely if attacked, and is the lock most often named by insurers and police security schemes. It is heavy, it is a faff to store, and it is the one that works — the point of a Disklok is that thieves can see from outside the car that it isn't worth the time.

What we like
  • Full-wheel cover defeats the cut-the-rim attack that beats bar locks
  • Sold Secure Diamond and Thatcham approval — the ratings insurers actually recognise
  • Spins freely when levered, so force has nowhere to go
Worth knowing
  • Heavy (around 5kg) and bulky to store in the car
  • Sizing matters — measure your wheel before ordering
  • Costs more than some excess reductions it earns back
