Time for most car thieves is maxed out at 4 mins. It took me 5 years to get Coplock right.
Coplock Model (1) fits most car manual or automatic on either the brake or clutch pedal.
The boot fits over the brake pedal and also seceures the pedal arm. The shaft to the firewall locks it up.
The lock is made from high quality hardened steel.
Tests carried out by a person with full practical knowledge of car theft. The testers job was to get it off.
Tools used those readily available or probably in the car.
Hitting was to force the rachett shaft back. (Unsuccessful.)
The spanner was to bend the front of the boot out away from the pedal so the lock would fall off. The ribs prevent this. (Unsuccessful.)
The screwdriverw was to turn, w/out a key the lock, in the housing operating the cam to release the shaft.
Other tests not on video ( due to time limit) were hitting with a 4 kg hammer
Using a hacksaw on all parts.
Attempting to hack saw brake pedal arms on several cars. ALL were unsuccessful.
I would hope no one would be silly enough to use an angle grinder in a similar space. Apart from self burns, it would probably start a fire. By the time you had finished guess who would be there?
I have two Classics a 86 VL Commodore and Ford 77 302 V8. Both have had prototype Coplocks. They are highly visible,s/wheel cover and 2 decals.
