Garant lock: installation, reviews

One of the most pressing problems in the automotive sphere is the issue of vehicle safety. New protection technologies are quickly cracked and eliminated by intruders. To date, unfortunately, there are no ideal security systems that can guarantee the complete safety of the car.

It is almost impossible to save a vehicle from theft. Despite this, there are certain technologies that allow to keep the car safe. One of the effective anti-theft mechanisms is the steering column lock "Garant Block Lux", which is produced by the Russian company "Flim".

Why "Guarantor Block"?

Garant blockers are a vivid example of the fact that domestic companies can bypass their foreign competitors in the production of automotive equipment and accessories. All developers of security devices in the release of new technologies and products rely on such criteria as resistance to burglary. According to this parameter, the model of the steering locker "Garant" bypasses its competitors several times: it has a coefficient of stability of 60, while that of analogues does not exceed 10.

Such a difference, above all, indicates that an attacker will need at least three minutes to break a domestic blocker, while an import analogue will be removed in a minute. For this reason, the "Garant" blocker is considered one of the best among similar devices, since it can be removed only with a Bulgarian, and this idea will be noticed not only by the car owner, but also by other people in the vicinity of the car parking.

Exploitation

Products of the Russian company "Flim" are in great demand in the automotive markets, and the manufacturer itself is trying to expand and improve the range of blockers. To date, the following models are produced:

1. "Guarantor Panzer". Device for locking the ignition switch.
2. "Garant Bastion." Electromechanical steering wheel lock.
3. "Garant Consul". Lock for gearboxes.
4. "Guarantor IP-IGN". A device that complicates access to the vehicle's on-board network.

The company also produces unique equipment:

1. "Guarantor CL". A special model line of blockers, designed for inexpensive cars of domestic brands.
2. Blockers "Garant Block Suite". A model range created for specific brands and models of cars of both domestic and foreign production.

Product Benefits

The hardware component of the "Garant" blocker is the main advantage of the products. The secret mechanism of the device is made by the famous Finnish manufacturer Abloy. The products of this company are used by many companies specializing in the production of safes, which is an excellent evidence of high quality, reliability and efficiency.

To date, the range of mechanical lock "Garant" covers several hundred different models of cars.

Features of blockers

• Difficult access to the installation site of the castle. Use a metalwork tool to remove the blocker is impossible because of the limited space.
• The connecting screws of the housing are hidden due to the design of the lock and the location of the stopper.
• The coupling is made of hardened metal with a hardness of more than HRC 50. The washer and protective rotating glass do not allow drilling of the mechanism.
• It is impossible to drill the mechanism of secrets. The rotary disc trap is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and does not undergo destruction.
• The stopper material is a hardened polished stainless steel. The handle is made of elastic PVC, which provides a more convenient and comfortable operation in the cold season.
• On the timing of the coupling of the steering shaft and the surface of the latch, there are annular grooves with a return cone.
• The trap disk is fixed by a lock ring, access to which is difficult.
• Disk mechanism secrets Abloy has increased secrecy and has more than 360 million probable key combinations.

Disadvantages of blockers

Lockers "Garant Blok" due to a wide range of models can be installed on any vehicles. Buy a suitable lock on the car can be in the specialized stores, contacting the masters.

Despite the relevance and effectiveness of this protective system, it has certain drawbacks:

• The need for a permanent presence at hand a special pin, installed in the clutch lock. The product does not differ in compactness, which is not particularly convenient in operation.
• The probability of an increase in the angle of rotation of the rudder due to the application of excessive efforts.

To get rid of the first drawback, unfortunately, it is impossible, but the second one can be avoided: it is enough to install a blocker in the service center. Masters will help to correct the work of the protective mechanism.

Installation lock "Guarantor"

Car owners who want to save money on mounting the lock can make its installation on their own. The corresponding instruction is supplied complete with a protective mechanism and allows quick and easy installation:

• Between the brake pedal and the clutch, to be more precise, an intermediate shaft is located between the universal joint and the elastic joint, to which the locking clutch is attached.
• The stopper is installed in the longitudinal direction. The technological groove of the pedal assembly is used to fix the stopper. The stopper is installed so that its cone abuts against the flange when the steering wheel is turned in either direction.

If the "Garant" blocker is installed in its own right, it is necessary to carefully monitor the position of the wheels of the car: they must be exposed directly.

Reviews of car owners

Before choosing any particular security system or protective mechanism for a vehicle, you need to familiarize yourself with the real opinions of users.

Car owners leave on the blockers "Garant" reviews, which can draw the following conclusions:

1. Operation of the new protective mechanism at first causes inconvenience, but over time drivers get used to having to carry a pin.
2. Remove the lock is possible only with the help of a metalwork tool - for example, a Bulgarian. Qualifications for noiseless and rapid removal of the mechanism of conventional avtovor there, and to work with the Bulgarian spent about 10-20 minutes, not to mention the high level of noise.
3. Many car owners faced situations where intruders managed to turn off alarm systems, and the car was saved only by the steering wheel lock. Such attempts are usually limited to stealing items from the vehicle's interior, but not by hijacking the vehicle.

As a result, we can safely say that the protective mechanisms of the company "Flim" have proved their effectiveness, reliability and safety.

Price of the device

The cost of the protective mechanism along with the installation procedure in the service is just over 10 thousand rubles, which is not such a big sum. Many security complexes, which are less efficient, have a high price.

• At the stop, the profile of the trap is improved, which simplifies the process of installing the stopper in the coupling.
• The impossibility of squeezing the latch due to a hardened disc, which is attached to the top cover of the coupling.
