Among Russian car owners, anti-theft mechanical systems brand DRAGON (Dragon). They are made and produced for certain models, brands and modifications of cars, installed on the hood, on the control shaft, on boxes. The main advantage of the Dragon system is the ability to create a multi-level vehicle protection against theft, which may be due to the use of several anti-theft devices.
Box blocking with DRAGON
The DRAGON anti-theft device for blocking the box is installed under the console. A special pin will block the box control system. To the owner of a car with mechanical transmission gears to lock the gearbox, move the lever to the reverse gear position. In vehicles with automatic transmission, the lever must be in the “Parking” position. Then it is necessary to use a special pin to "close" the mechanism. The most powerful pin is the main blocking element of the DRAGON anti-theft device. It achieves 13 mm in diameter and is made of osorbic steel. Such pins are difficult to saw, hidden from view, and have personal locks.
The larva of the castle also has an extraordinary design, which is a guarantee of secrecy. Random selection of the key and the introduction of master keys are excluded, because the peculiarities of its structure provide more than 3.5 million compositions. The lock is protected from extrusion, drilling, twisting by a system of cylindrical pins in the cylinder and a unique design of the lock body. When hijacked, the Dragon blocks gearshift.
Locking the transfer case with DRAGON
DRAGON anti-theft devices, designed on transfer case, are able to block the "handouts" of all-wheel drive vehicles when low gear, then the net is in position L. Locking the transfer case will prevent the hijackers from towing the vehicle because the transfer case cannot be put into neutral. The manufacturer of DRAGON systems recommends installing such a lock together with an anti-theft device for the main box.
Locking the control shaft with DRAGON
DRAGON system on the steering shaft protects the steering. The blocking is made with a special pin in the position of the regular fixation. In certain attachment points, they have an extraordinary integrated counterpart for the pin. This will prevent the locking element from being forced around the pin and disengaging. The reliability of the blocking system is also increased by additional elements created specifically for certain car brands. Some of these parts are designed to fix the blocked part of the checkpoint. This is achieved by increasing the overall rigidity of the structure relative to the box and body. Fastening of additional parts is done using a branded shear fastener. Such a system prohibits turning the control wheel when attempting to steal, which means that it is unrealistic to drive the car.
Locking the hood lock with DRAGON
The main advantage of a personal lock is its special design, its inaccessibility and secrecy. component parts... "DRAGON" is designed in such a way that even removing the plastic of the console does not simplify the way to it, parts and assemblies of the car hinder access. This became possible due to the correct choice of the blocking place and the blocking element itself. The DRAGON system has an extraordinary design of the bracket, which "fits" under the gearshift mechanism. The design of the lock is personalized, which allows you to place it very comfortably for use and not spoil the design of the car. Inside the cabin, the lock looks very neat.
Among other anti-theft mechanical devices DRAGON, it is necessary to emphasize the systems on the hood, created to block the standard hood lock. With their help, the car owner will protect the car from entering the engine compartment. To lock the hood lock, just press the larva button located in the passenger compartment.
DRAGON blocking element
Locking element of DRAGON anti-theft device on gearbox and steering shaft is an made of specially treated steel.
The pins of DRAGON bollards are fundamentally different from the products of other companies, since they have a layered structure: they are hard on the outside (to protect against sawing and drilling), and in the core they are softer, which increases the elasticity of the element and allows it to withstand shock effects.
Main distinctive feature This element, in addition to the quality of the metal and the special technology of its processing, is its location relative to other elements of the blocker. Thanks to the individual design of the structure for each car model, the pin is always hidden as much as possible and protected from direct access, which ensures increased device reliability.
In the arsenal of DRAGON engineers there are several dozen types of pins of different sizes. In other words, they are also individual for each car model.
Locking element of the DRAGON anti-theft device on the hood is, which is controlled from the passenger compartment using a drive in an armored shell.
DRAGON's "key" solution
Keys and cylinders - items purchased by us from famous companies - manufacturers of safe locks. This led to their high cryptographic strength and reliability. The design provides a high level of secrecy - more than 3.5 million possible combinations, which excludes attempts to guess the key and the use of master keys.
The design of the cylinders provides protection against drilling, extrusion and twisting.
Housings of DRAGON gearbox and steering shaft bollards are one-piece monolithic construction... They are made of high-strength steel, treated with a special technology, making it hopeless to try to cope with the blocker with a hand tool.
Most models dRAGON blockers for gearbox The housings have an integrated mating part for the pin that enhances the protective function.
Thus, the design of the enclosures blockers DRAGON eliminates backlashes and gaps, which prevents burglars from using a power tool.
Additional DRAGON elements
Application of additional elements - patented unique technology.
The benefits of them are obvious:
- Additional elements of DRAGON bollards for gearbox and hood designed to prevent the hijacker from accessing blocking elements anti-theft complex DRAGON and the protected elements of the vehicle itself. In addition, they increase the rigidity of the entire structure in relation to the body.
- Additional elements of DRAGON bollards on the steering shaft are used when it is impossible to use standard vehicle elements as a counterpart.
Additional elements are attached with branded shear fasteners at the "regular" places of the car.
Stealth and inaccessibility of DRAGON blockers
DRAGON bollards are almost invisible in the cabin: depending on the type of device are located inside the center console gearbox, under the dashboard or in the "glove compartment".
Most other bollards are protected from access only by the decorative trim of the vehicle interior. DRAGON bollards are designed so that even after removing the casing, access to them is as difficult as possible. This is achieved the right choice blocking element and blocking point, which can be varied by using additional elements.
DRAGON appearance and ergonomics
In terms of aesthetics and ergonomics blockers DRAGON also compares favorably with fellows.
The individual design of the bollard allows you to place it so that it is as convenient as possible... When designing a bollard, we always try not to protrude and interfere with the movement of standard vehicle elements. In addition, the bollard must be within reach. Its positioning accuracy is inherent in the design, so you will never face physical effort when using blockers DRAGON, and this is not uncommon when it comes to other blockers, where it is often necessary to find a compromise between convenience and reliability.
Presentable appearance external parts of DRAGON bollards harmoniously fit into the interior design of all cars.
DRAGON! The only one for everyone! Unique for everyone!
Currently, almost every new car has standard immobilizers, or alarm. If these devices are not provided, non-standard security and anti-theft systems are installed on the vehicle. They can be electronic (car alarms, immobilizers, etc.), electromechanical or mechanical ( different kinds locks-blockers). The latter type also includes such a device as the Dragon gearbox lock.

Mechanical interlocking, pros and cons
Electronic devices
Many car enthusiasts believe that once the car is installed security alarm and the immobilizer means that they are not afraid of any robber. Is it really? What are the main functions of the immobilizer and car alarm?
An immobilizer is an anti-theft device that prevents (using various electronic locks) unauthorized use of a vehicle. With an unidentified, or even without an electronic key "tag-card", the car will not even start. His presence in the car is often unnoticeable, and he does not give any signals. Lock only (ignition, starter, sometimes - fuel system). The electronic key works only at a very short distance from the receiver.
Key with electronic filling
Alarm, be it one-way or with feedback, notifies the owner and others about an attempt to enter the car with sound and light signals. They also have the ability to connect electronic blocking... Depending on the type and model, it can receive remote control commands over a fairly long distance.
At first glance, these two devices provide complete and comprehensive protection for the vehicle. But nothing is perfect. Any means of protection has its weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Professional hijackers are well aware of this and bypassing such systems, with modern equipment and the "skill" of criminals, is quite possible.
Car alarm components
Therefore, do not ignore mechanical means protection against theft. These include blockers of various vehicle components. Only a symbiosis of electronic and mechanical devices can give a worthy rebuff to intruders!
Mechanical devices
Installed as a complex with electronic systems, and in their absence. The task of any mechanical blockers is to make it as difficult as possible for the hijackers to bypass the protection of the car. The bonnet lock protects important nodes engine compartment (use of "spider", CBU from substitution, etc.), gearbox - fixes the gear selector in the position reverse "R" (automatic transmission - position "P"), there are pedal locks, brake system, steering shaft ...
Standard locations for mechanical interlocks
The main requirement for such products is high strength, structural reliability, correct installation. Weak sides mechanical locks:
The presence of a lock cylinder (bumping, power cranking, drilling);
Standard installation (some blockers can be bypassed without destroying);
Availability cable drives and pins (biting and sawing);
Not very convenient to use (often you have to open and close).
Despite the "gaps in the defense", burglars quite often retreat, finding additional protection modules in the car. After all, it takes additional time to hack or bypass them, and attackers count every second.
Gearbox lock
One of the most common methods mechanical protection - blocking of gear shifting. The vast majority of such devices are installed in the cabin, in the immediate vicinity of the gearbox selector (automatic transmission).
Installed gearbox lock
The installation of such locks on automatic gearboxes gives a greater protection effect, since it is not possible to squeeze the clutch pedal and disable the gearbox.
Dragon gear selector pin lock
Dragon gearbox blockers are manufactured in Russia by the Cerberus-M company, but they are excellent for installation not only on domestic cars... LLC "Cerberus-M" has been present on the market of protective devices and complexes since 2000, and is constantly improving its products.
Powerful pin, high security lock
The Dragon gear shift pin lock consists of a steel bracket, a locking device with a lock cylinder and a pilot hole, and finally, the pin itself that locks the transmission control selector in the reverse or parking position.

Installing the bollard
This blocker is installed in the passenger compartment, the area of \u200b\u200bthe gear shift control lever. The lock bracket is attached to the vehicle floor with shear bolts, which are also included. On the bracket there is a blocker body with a locking mechanism. They are securely connected to each other along the entire plane by welding.
Installing a bollard in the central tunnel
With proper installation, the pin does not lock the selector itself, but the rocker (gearbox control rod). This eliminates the possibility of shifting gears by disconnecting the traction in the cabin from the locked control lever.
Correct and incorrect gearbox blocking
You can now disconnect the wings only in engine compartment, and if installed additional locks bonnet - this is a big problem. It is possible to destroy the lock with brute force or to saw through the pin, but it will take a lot of time and effort. Yes, and inconvenient, there is not enough space for such operations.
It goes without saying that it is necessary to install mechanical blockers, at least one, in combination with other security devices.

How do locks work?
Prototype modern systems serve as "overlays" on the pedals, wheelthat look like padlocks. Bulky structures are clearly visible and look intimidating. But only adolescents, who like to ride for free, are scared. The car theft man will cope with them in no time: you can have a snack and remove any pad. But mechanical auto blockers are not so simple.

How car alarm with feedback works
The first models presented to the buyer were equipped with a key fob with a small display, on which information about the condition of the vehicle was displayed. This form of security systems has become so popular that it has been the leader in manufacturers' catalogs for many years. The capabilities of devices, the appearance of keychains, the size of displays are changing, but the general concept remains unchanged. The key fob serves as a conductor of information between the user and the car, plus it allows you to give basic commands and program the system.

Alarm production in Russia
More services, more opportunities, more all-inclusive package services: this approach was implemented by Russian manufacturers. Russian manufacturers - the flagships of the world industry, setting the tone for the work of foreign competitors. And what is especially interesting is that the crisis period of 2014 did not worsen the performance of the industry. On the contrary, it gave an impetus to its development: enterprises met the intensification of competition and the struggle for the client with the development of innovations and the reduction in the price of their products.
