Have single axle caravan less than year old with alli wheels.  currently use wheel lock with two part disc/bolt arrangement (sorry cant think of name) but this is completely ruining wheels, rubbers seems to have perished and is now gripping on to alli wheels causing damage to wheel rims.

any recommendations of new security locks, have looked at JSB 'winter wheel' locks but this will not do as we go away a lot and as per previous posts not ideal for on sites, any help gratefully rcd.

We use the DM10 from this site, it's very good and easy to fit.

Sounds like this might be the Alko wheel lock.  I've heard that these ruin the alloy wheels.  Would be interested in hearing from anyone with experience of the Alko.

IF Is it Red in colour and is an alko secure you can contact them and they will send you some replacement rubbers for your lock to protect your wheels.
