There are lots of steering wheel locks out there. We tried many of them to see how they work every day, how safe they are, and how much they cost.
After testing six locks for more than a year, we think the Disklok and Stoplok Pro Elite are the best for a Range Rover Sport. The Disklok is the most secure lock you can get. It’s a bit hard to use, but it’s very secure.
For everyday use, the Stoplok Pro Elite is also good. It’s not as secure as the Disklok, but it’s still a really good lock for every day use.

Disklok Steering Lock
The Disklok has proven to be a solid gold choice in terms of security, living up to all its claims through independent testing. I’ve been using the Disklok for over a year, and it has impressed me with its ease of use, though it is quite heavy. It gives me peace of mind, especially during the night.

Stoplock Pro Steering Wheel Lock
In my opinion, the Stoplock stands out as the best car lock for everyday use. It’s incredibly user-friendly, easy to fit and remove, and conveniently storable in either the front or back footwell. Remarkably, it’s practical even when the car is full, with three kids and two adults.
However, there’s a catch with its security. While it’s challenging to break free once fastened with a key, it doesn’t match up to my favorite, the Disklok. The Disklok boasts a self-locking feature that renders it virtually impossible for anyone to break into the car.

Types of steering wheel locks
Full Face Steering Wheel Lock
A full-face steering wheel lock is a lock that covers the whole steering wheel to prevent anyone from gripping the steering wheel.
Some of the most secure steering wheel locks on the market are full-face. For those who want more peace of mind, they’re made from high-quality metal and have a serial number and unique key.
They are extremely difficult to remove and if someone were to get into your vehicle and try to remove the disk, it would just spin, making your vehicle immobile.
Half Face Steering Wheel Lock
A half-face steering wheel lock covers half of the steering wheel to prevent the steering wheel from moving. They are effective and offer a combination of features, such as a full-face and bar-like. We have listed the best ones below.
Standard Bar Steering Wheel lock
A steering wheel lock is a metal bar that you attach to your steering wheel with a double or single hook and then attach to the other end. The bar will prevent the steering wheel from turning. This is a traditional design and one that works. They are simple to use and store and can also be used as a hammer style in case you need to smash a window in an emergency.
Wheel To Pedal Lock
The Wheel to Pedal steering wheel lock attaches to the steering wheel with hooks and then onto the brake pedal to prevent the steering wheel and brake system from being used. There are only a few of these types wheel to pedal locks on the market because the design isn’t the easiest to use for everyday use.
A long reinforced steel bar that hooks the brake pedal and steering wheel together. This ensures that the steering wheel will not turn. These can take a little longer to set up but are a worthwhile investment if required.
Factors To Consider
Weight
Steering wheel locks typically weigh between 5kg and 1kg, depending on the make and model.
One disadvantage of a full-face wheel lock is the weight. These wheel locks can be heavy and difficult to move around, which can lead to issues when working in small areas. A Disklock, for example, weighs around 5kg. Whereas a Stoplock pro weights 2.5kg
Daily Use & Storage
After testing all the steering wheel locks on the market, daily use becomes a big factor.
When testing a full face disk lock, storage became a problem. Moving it around my car to fit the family in we often found the boot was the only space to store the lock and sometimes I simply forgot to put the lock on after a long day. There was also a short learning curve in order to fit the lock correctly.
A bar lock is easier to use on a daily basis and takes up less space, but it offers fewer security features and is not as strong as a deterrent. However, it was always easy to hand and simple to fit.
Quality
As with anything you buy in life, if you buy cheap you buy twice. A good quality steering wheel lock should last you a lifetime. A bar lock like a Stoplok Pro or a full-face disk lock like a Disklok is the best quality on the market.
Steering Wheel Lock Sizes
Most steering wheel locks will fit the majority of vehicles.
A bar-style lock will fit most steering wheels of any size. You’ll need to consider the size of the airbag: a Stoplock Pro will fit a small airbag and a Stoplock Pro Elite will fit a larger airbag. Check out our full review here.
A full-face steering wheel usually comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. A smaller full-face wheel will fit most hatchbacks and sedans; a medium-size will fit most SUVs and people carriers, and a large one is made for vans.
Security
A steering wheel lock is designed to prevent theft. They are a fantastic deterrent for any would-be criminals. We strongly recommend you purchase a well-known or branded steering wheel with plenty of reviews.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the best steering wheel lock for your Range Rover depends on what you need. It’s up to you to decide. Do you want a really secure lock for when you leave your car overnight? Or do you need a lock that’s easier to use for when you park on the street or in a parking lot?
