Here are our most frequently asked questions. If you can't find the answer you need, please email support@antiapex.co.uk
What is the Driveway Defender?
It is a seatbelt anchored steering lock. You loop it over the steering wheel, click it into the seatbelt buckle and tighten. If the wheel cannot turn, the car cannot be driven away. 3 minutes to install it or 60 seconds to lose your car.
Will it fit my car?
Yes in most cases. The cable length is about 70 cm and works with 99% of UK vehicles - from Corsas to Range Rovers. If your steering wheel can reach the seatbelt buckle with a light curve in the cable, you are good to go. If unsure, email
support@antiapex.co.uk.
Will it scratch my steering wheel?
No. The cable has a protective PVC sleeve. Do not overtighten and avoid sharp edges. Wipe the sleeve clean now and then. Your interior stays pristine while thieves stay away.
How fast is install and removal?
On in about 15 seconds. Off in about 5 seconds with the key. Faster than a relay attack that steals your car.
How many keys are included? Can I get spares?
Three keys are included. For your security we do not keep spare keys. Keep one in your wallet, one at home, one somewhere safe.
Can thieves cut the cable?
The cable is 5 mm braided military-grade steel with strong anti-cut and anti-pry performance. No device is perfect, but this creates a visible and physical barrier that makes thieves choose another target. In 50,000+ sales, zero have been defeated.
Is it legal to use in the UK?
Yes. It is a passive security device. Always remove it before driving. Police actually recommend visible deterrents.
Can I use it with other security products?
Yes. Many customers also use alarms, wheel clamps, immobilisers or tracking tags. Layers of security work best - but this is the one thieves can see.
Does it help in a carjacking attempt?
It is a visible deterrent. Engage it before you step out so the wheel is locked. Never risk your safety in a confrontation. Prevention is always better than confrontation.
What if my seatbelt buckle is recessed or at an angle?
Most modern buckles still accept the click. If yours sits very low or covered, try looping the cable through the lower part of the wheel and across to the most accessible buckle point. If you need fit advice, email
support@antiapex.co.uk.
How should I store it in the car?
Coil it and place it in the door pocket, centre console or seat pocket. Some bundles include carry pouches. Keep it visible when parked - hidden when driving.
What is your guarantee and warranty?
You are covered by a 90-day money back guarantee and a 2-year warranty against defects. If it doesn't work for you, we'll make it right. Zero risk to you, maximum risk to thieves.
How do returns work?
Email
support@antiapex.co.uk with your order number. Most returns are approved within
24 hours. Send it back in good condition for a full refund to your original payment method.
How long does delivery take in the UK?
Free tracked delivery on all orders usually arrives in 2-3 business days. Order before 2pm GMT for same-day dispatch where possible. Get protected before the weekend.
My tracking is not updating. What should I do?
This is normal in the first 24 hours after dispatch. Check again later the same day. If it still doesn't move after two business days, email
support@antiapex.co.uk and we'll investigate.
Can I change my address after ordering?
Email us immediately at
support@antiapex.co.uk with the correct address. If the parcel hasn't left, we'll update it.
Double-check your postcode at checkout.
Do you offer bundles or bulk pricing?
Yes. We run value bundles for two, three and five units so you can protect every car in the household. Save up to 65% on multiple locks. Thieves don't stop at one car per family.
Why buy from Anti-Apex instead of a marketplace listing?
You get UK-based support, our 90-day money back guarantee, a full 2-year warranty, same-day dispatch and bundle bonuses that aren't offered elsewhere. Plus you're buying from the actual company, not a reseller.
How quickly do you reply to support emails?
We usually reply within 24 hours, often faster. We're a British team and we genuinely want to help. Real humans, not chatbots.
Do you donate to community safety?
Yes. A % of profit goes to car theft prevention and victim support programmes across the UK.
Any safety reminders?
Never drive with the device engaged. Always remove it fully before turning the wheel. Keep keys secure and away from the vehicle when parked. Lock it or lose it.
