When it comes to locking your car from the inside it is very important that you have the best type of auto lock top mechanism available. The main reason for this is to ensure that you are able to get into your vehicle with relative ease and with as little stress as possible. This means that you need to ensure that you have some kind of lock on top of your locking mechanism. There are many different lock types available to you when it comes to getting a lock top for your vehicle.
There is the stick top auto lock. This is the cheapest way to go when it comes to locking your vehicle up. This is not only cheaper than other locks but it is also one of the easiest to install. When you have a stick top you have a simple bolt that is locked on top of the bolt that runs through the center part of the top of your vehicle. This means that you can easily reach behind your car with your key to lock it up.

If you are looking for a more secure option then you can consider using a tuck top. With a Tuck Top Auto Lock Bottom the bolt that runs through the center part of your top is replaced by a lock that runs along the top of your vehicle. The lock will be able to close and lock from the inside of your vehicle. With this type of lock you will find that it is much more secure than a standard stick top auto lock.
You can also go with the traditional top down auto lock. This is a pretty standard mechanism that works in most vehicles. The thing that makes this type of locking mechanism more secure is that the torsion springs that are located at the bottom of the auto lock will help to keep it closed. The advantage to this is that with no tension there is nothing holding it open and therefore your car can be locked securely. When you compare this to the bolt that runs through the middle part of the top of your car you will see that there is very little chance for a loosening.
The other option is to get a locking tailgate. This is the same mechanism as the tuck top but instead of going through the middle of your vehicle it goes through the tailgate. One thing that you need to take into consideration when you are looking to purchase a locking tailgate is how many vehicles you will be able to fit it on. When you are dealing with the type of access that is required, you may find that the more vehicles you can fit on one, the higher quality you are going to end up with. If you are only dealing with one vehicle then you can probably get away with a lower quality product.
One thing that you need to take into consideration is how many turns the lock needs to be turned. If you need to turn the lock several times, you are going to have to make sure that the tuck bolt is able to turn the lock multiple times without it becoming stuck. Unfortunately if the bolt becomes stuck on one turn then you will have a problem. If you are dealing with a vehicle like this then you should look into purchasing a lock that has more than one turn.
Another option that you have is the use of an automatic lock tuck. When you are dealing with an automatic lock tuck you will find that it is much easier than with the standard type of lock. Instead of just lifting the door up on its own you will have to use a remote that has a button that plugs into the ignition. You will then have to manually lift the bottom of the vehicle up on its own so that it can slide beneath the lock. This requires a strong arm to do it successfully and you are likely to have some difficulty if you have not drilled the hole where the new bolt is going to go through in the vehicle.
If you have a late model vehicle then you are probably going to want to consider either of these two options. If you are dealing with an older car then you are also going to find that it is much more difficult to get an auto-lock bottom in Canada to work. Fortunately there is an option for those who are willing to take that challenge. You can buy an aftermarket bottom that slides into the vehicle already. This is often much simpler and easier to install, though you will likely pay a little more money.
