Click Lock A/C Security System from AirSept

November 10, 2011

Click Lock is a unique new tool that alerts service providers if an air conditioning system has been opened since the last time the repair shop serviced the system. The Click Lock A/C Security System features a patented, snap-together locking cap that fits over any standard High or Low Side service fitting on domestic and import vehicles.

Once you snap the tamper-proof, one-piece heat-resistant plastic housing closed around an A/C service fitting, Click Lock cannot be opened without visibly damaging the cap.

The locking mechanism simply snaps together by hand. Unlike old-style heat shrink sleeves, Click Lock is easier to install in hard-to-reach areas, requires no heat source and no significant learning curve to install properly.

Each Click Lock tool is labeled with a unique serial number. This allows easy repair order tracking. If a vehicle comes back to the repair shop and the Click Lock is damaged or missing, the technician can simply look up the last repair order for the vehicle. The repair order will show that a Click Lock was installed, and exactly what repairs were done to the A/C system.

This proof that the system was opened after your last repair helps reduce confusion and eases your communication with the vehicle owner. The presence of a Click Lock on an A/C service port also helps warn others before opening the system.

The high cost of HFO-1234yf and the increasing value of R134a suggest that the temptation to substitute alternative refrigerants is greater than ever. If the Click Lock cap has been tampered with, the technician should check for refrigerant cross-contamination, improper, inadequate or excess lubricant and other potential contaminants in the A/C system.
