- How to use a wheel lock
- Choose the right wheel: Fit the clamp on a rear wheel if possible, it stops the horsebox being rolled or towed away easily.
- Adjust to fit snugly: Most clamps are adjustable for different tyre widths. Ensure it grips tightly and cannot be spun by hand.
- Secure the lock: Lock it using the supplied key or combination. Don’t leave keys in or near the vehicle.
- Visibility matters: A visible clamp acts as a deterrent, many insurers and equestrians recommend it as part of a layered security approach (hitch lock + wheel lock + alarms).
- Regular checks: Inspect periodically for wear and ensure the locking mechanism stays clean and lubricated.
Tip: Pair your wheel lock with a hitch lock, CCTV, or even a GPS tracker, multiple layers of security make theft far less likely.
