Fully ADR compliant

Australian Design Rules (ADR) are the national standards for road vehicle safety, anti-theft and emissions, covering a wide range of areas, including vehicle protection, structure, lighting, braking systems and more.
A particularly important component of ADR is airbag compatibility, especially for vehicles equipped with airbags that must comply with ADR69 and ADR73 regarding occupant protection.
For these vehicles, aftermarket accessories, such as bull bars, can only be fitted if they are certified by the vehicle manufacturer as suitable or demonstrated by the bull bar manufacturer to not adversely affect compliance with these safety standards.
This ensures that the installation of accessories does not interfere with airbag deployment, maintaining the safety of passengers in the event of a collision.
Opposite Lock says it understands the importance of adhering to ADR standards and as such, its bull bars – specifically the Opposite Lock, Raxar, and Oxley ranges – are designed with a commitment to quality and safety.
“We ensure that each bull bar complies with the necessary ADR regulations, providing our customers with peace of mind that their vehicle modifications will not compromise safety features,” Opposite Lock Marketing Coordinator, Yoksan Tang, said.
“We believe that vehicle enhancement should not come at the expense of regulatory standards; instead, it should promote a safe driving experience.
“To further enhance the quality and durability of our products, we have our bull bars independently tested to exceed industry standards.
“We E-Coat our bars before applying a powder coating, ensuring they are not only tough but also resistant to corrosion and wear.
“Additionally, we ensure that our bull bars are suitable for new vehicle radar systems and tech packs, meeting the technological demands of modern vehicles.
“In addition to our commitment to ADR compliance, Opposite Lock offers a two-year warranty on our Opposite Lock, Raxar and Oxley bull bars.
“This warranty reflects our confidence in the durability and reliability of our products, assuring our customers that they are investing in accessories built to withstand the rigours of the Australian environment.
“We are proud to provide our customers with high-quality, ADR-compliant accessories that enhance vehicle capability while prioritising safety.
“With our commitment to quality and customer support, we aim to set a benchmark in the automotive aftermarket, reflecting our dedication to safety, reliability, and product excellence.”
