To prevent exhaustion of a battery by minimizing standby current while maintaining maximum response of a remote control lock apparatus. A lock control means for controlling an actuator for actuating and de-actuating a steering lock device of a vehicle by means of a remote control transmitter is provided, and power is saved by intermittently supplying a standby current to the lock control means while the steering lock device is actuated. In a normal mode for a short standby time shown in the figure, the standby current is supplied to an ID code obtaining means at a high intermittent supply ratio to thereby save power while maintaining quick response in de-actuating the steering lock device. In a long leaving mode for a long standby time, the standby current is supplied to both the ID code obtaining means and an ID code verifying means at a low intermittent supply ratio to thereby further save power while slightly sacrificing response in de-actuating the steering lock device.
