FAQ & Support

Rimgard is tested by RISE (Research Institute of Sweden) and TÜV Austria. It is also tested by Assa Testing Laboratory, and its performance tested by Thatcham Research.

Rimgard is the only approved lock by the Swedish Anti-theft association.

Yes, we know, YouTube is full of videos of skilled people picking locks in less than no time. They are impressive to say the least.

Now, remember that these are professional lock pickers, they compete in this field and they practice as if it were for the super bowl.

We believe they too would have a challenge if we replaced their lighting, work bench, office chair and quiet work place for a curb or garage. It is the wheel thieves we are out to stop.

Our lock cylinder is made by world leading manufacturer Assa Abloy. The lock we use is a high security lock designed for environments with high demands for both security and functionality. It is extremely resistant to manipulation and picking.

Remember, thieves want to be swift and discrete.

With the right amount of time and tools - anything can be drilled.

Drilling will take time and makes noise - it is not a swift and discrete way to steal anything in the middle of a street.

Again - thieves want to be swift and discrete.

When Rimgard is installed on the wheels it is designed for, prying the module off is going to be very hard, take a lot of time and damage the wheel badly.

All wheels are different and Rimgard will only perform at its best when installed on the wheels designed for.

If a gap is large enough and the bar long enough, anything can be pryed.

Sorry for repeating ourselves, thieves want to be swift and discrete...

When installed on a wheel it is designed for, it is going to be very difficult and demand a lot of precision to cut 20 arms off in order to reach all lugs.

All deterrent boxes are ticked - time, noise and damage.

As biased as we might be... the short answer is NO. If they did, we wouldn't be.

Locking lug nuts have 20+ different combinations. Removal tools and key sets keys are readily available - often in the same place that sells the locking lugs in the first place. We argue they no longer work.

Our keys have 66,000 combinations and NO master keys are made.

Locks with master keys can only get certified for three months, after this, it is considered that the master keys will be too widely spread for the lock to be considered safe.

Installation

We recommend that you store one key on your regular keychain, and the other one in a safe place of your choosing.

Never store your keys in your car!

The keycard is unique for your set of keys, store it in a safe place. We also strongly recommend that you register your keycard on our website here , for extra security.

The locks have endured tough testing, but as with everything, if you care for it it will last longer.

Clean the locks from excessive dirt and give the cylinders some standard cylinder lock oil 1-2 times per year and they will last for a long time.
