While manual locks offer basic protection from intruders they are more vulnerable than other types of locks when it comes of being picked and hot wired by car thieves.
Central Lock Systems

Central car lock systems provide an added layer of safety in situations when drivers can instantly secure all doors and in case there are children sitting in the back seat with the child safety option that forbids them from operating the manual locks themselves.
Keyless Entry Systems
Keyless entry systems are electronic car locks that use a remote control by a key fob which sends out an encrypted signal that lock and to unlock the vehicle’s door and in some model even can also start the engine.
These highly secure systems are designed to prevent unauthorized access to your vehicle their constantly changing code combinations every time you use them so it would be impossible for thieves to copy them and gain access.
