Interlock Device Installation: Everything You Need to Know

Ignition Interlock Device Installation Process

Ignition interlock installation typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. A certified technician installs the device, tests it, and provides hands-on training so you understand how to use it before you leave.

What Is an Ignition Interlock Device?

An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer that collects a breath sample while being mounted directly into a vehicle’s ignition system. If the detected alcohol levels in the sample are beyond a predetermined threshold, the device will automatically immobilize the engine.


Our ignition interlock installation company prides itself on offering affordable devices that prevent motorists from driving while intoxicated. By combining innovation and individual accountability, our devices help keep drivers and pedestrians safe and play a significant role in preventing road accidents.

How Must You Choose an Interlock Device Provider?

Before scheduling an ignition interlock device installation, you must ensure the device supplier is certified. You also need to be aware of local legal constraints. Other key considerations include:


  • Proximity of the Provider’s Service Center to Your Home or Business
  • Competitive Pricing
  • Availability of After-Hours Emergency Technical Support
  • Availability of Insurance for Leasing Devices
