Please click here http://www.mesf.org.uk/ for further information regarding MESF. Autosounds supply and install some of the most reliable security systems available including cobra vehicle security products. Whether it’s a Thatcham approved car alarm and immobiliser product to satisfy your insurance company or a security system that is tailor made for you, we have a system to suit your vehicle. For vehicles which are already installed with a manufacturers immobiliser, cobra vehicle security allows you to enhance security systems to provide all round protection or upgrade the existing from Thatcham Category 2 to Category 1 as may be required. For Japanese imported vehicles or similar, which generally have little or no built in security whatsoever, complete Cat 1 car alarms are often the wise choice. To compliment the alarms own features we have an array of optional additions available for most systems. These include Microwave sensors for use in convertible vehicles, Pre-Warning sensors which alert of close proximity movement to the vehicle, Pager systems for remote alerting, an Electronic Tilt sensor offering increased protection against wheel theft and Window Closure systems to secure open windows on arming. For customers preferring immobilisation system without an alarm, we have a number of number of Thatcham Category 2 systems to choose from. Our security range does not end with car applications. In our showroom you will also find some innovative solutions for protecting light commercial vehicles, motorhomes & caravans. Lost or damaged an alarm remote or immobiliser key, or perhaps you would just like another spare for safe keeping? No problem – we can supply fobs from a number of manufacturers. SLAMLOCKS As the name implies a slamlock automatically locks and secures as the door is closed, requiring the use of the legitimate key to regain access. Due to the automatic operation of a slamlock they are recommended for load area doors and are Ideal for multi-drop situations. Upgrade and convert the standard vehicle (O.E.) locks fitted to vehicle load doors, to genuine slam operation. The L4V kit replaces the manufacturer's vulnerable barrel, and internal mechanism where appropriate, with High Security custom designed products, designed to resist attack and tampering. We do not endorse the practice of 'upgrading' the O.E. lock to slam operation by the addition of springs, this method offers no additional protection to the door and cannot be considered a security upgrade by itself. DEADLOCKS Deadlocks are the most common type of supplementary vehicle lock, available in a wide range of door specific kits to meet your customer's requirements. L4V Euro-deadlocks are true deadlocks, they have an internal mechanism which only 'lifts' when the correct key is being used to unlock the device, this prevents the lock bolt being pushed back into the lock case. Cheaper 'deadlocks' often rely solely on the actual key barrel to provide 'deadlocking', resulting in a much lower level of security.
