In the real world, you don’t need to have a professional degree in every field to be successful, you just need to be good at one thing and average at others because having basic knowledge of daily life things helps us to get out of unpredictable situations. Today, we will share with you the reason for using double locks in the bonnet of a car.
The car bonnet or engine cover helps cover the engine and other important parts of a car. It protects the engine from open environment damage and locking the bonnet correctly will protect your car parts like the battery from getting stolen.
The car bonnet uses a double locking mechanism. Most people don’t have the right information about the bonnet locking system. Actually, the bonnet of a car gets locked from two points and the method of opening both locks is different from each other. Both the locks are engaged at the same place but to open them you have to unlock the lock from two separate places.
The locking hook of the bonnet of a car is present in the font of the bonnet. In the exact middle in the front of the car, the bonnet hook gets locked by two locking hooks when pushed shut. After the bonnet is locked in place, to unlock it you have to unlatch it from the inside and outside of the car.
There is a bonnet release lever given inside the car which you will find somewhere on the drive side after pulling the inside bonnet release lever the bonnet gets half unlocked, to unlock it completely you have to come out of the car and put your fingers under the bonnet and unlock the remaining hook of the bonnet. This is how the locking mechanism of the bonnet works.
There are two main reasons for using a double locking mechanism in the bonnet of the car. The first reason is to protect your car’s parts like the battery from getting stolen and the second reason is to save accidents. Let me explain what I mean. The inside bonnet opening lever is there so that no one can open your car bonnet without unlocking your car. This keeps your car’s important parts which are present under the bonnet safe from the thief.
Imagine if someone by mistake pulls the bonnet open lever present inside of the car while driving on the road, won’t the opening of the bonnet of a running car cause trouble? Sometimes it can even cause serious accidents which is why a second lock is present in the bonnet of the car that can only be opened by standing in front of the car.
