Increase Antitheft Security With A Window Lock
Aero-News has reported
on a series of airplane thefts recently involving high-wing
Cessnas, from Skyhawks commandeered by drunken
teens to, most recently, a C182 stolen last month from an airport
near Tucson, AZ... which was then evidently flown down
to Mexico, unlikely to ever be seen again.
More than ever before, aircraft owners must be certain their
aircraft are locked and secured -- and SiriusWings is happy to
help. The company recently announced their new STC that enables
owners of 172 Series, 182 Series, 180s, 185s, 206 and 210 Series
Cessnas to add heightened security to their aircraft with a window
lock.
The company's window lock is flush-mounted and positioned on the
left door window.
"All Cessna owners realize that the lock on your door only locks
the handle," says Kim Huntington of SiriusWings.
With this window lock, you can close the door with the window open,
rotate the inside handle to the fully-locked position and then
close and lock the window from the outside.
The window lock STC will ensure that no one can open a Cessna
single-engine airplane with a "fits-all" key or nail file.
"And no more doors popping open from wing flex in the wind,"
adds Kim.
The STC documents are available for $125, with the locks
purchased separately for approximately $8.00 each. Time for
installation is approximately four to five hours, which includes
installing the window lock and changing the door and baggage door
locks which are covered by the STC.
