Bonnet locks
How does the mechanical bonnet lock work?
The lock is comprised of little plates or detents. Only when all the detents are assembled in the right order, will the associated car key turn the lock. This is because the mechanical construction of the lock has exactly the same combination of positions as the recesses in the car key. These dimensions (depths) are converted by the manufacturer into an indirect key code. This code forms the ‘DNA’ of each car lock or key. Car Lock Systems supplies car keys – and locks to the right code.
Mechanical key code
With a broken bonnet lock, Car Lock Systems can provide a new lock to exactly the same key code as the original lock. Car Lock Systems can also determine the mechanical key code using a picture of the existing key. This is useful if the key code is not known.
Ensure regular maintenance
Because the locks on bonnets often remain unused for a long time, it is good to also open and close these locks regularly, purely to keep the mechanism working smoothly. It is good to treat the locks with a special lubricant now and again, which is also available in the Car Lock Systems webshop.
