Hitch Lock

The Problem

Leaving your trailer parked comes with the risk that someone simply mounts it to their own vehicle and drives off. The client had looked at available locks on the market and found them too easy to defeat. 

Our Solution

This project demonstrates how rapid iteration, CAD development, and low-cost prototyping can quickly refine a concept into a stronger, more manufacturable product. By evaluating multiple design solutions early in development, the process helped reducing overall development risk for the client.
