Blackburn Designs Local Lock

An interesting project where I had to get into the minds of both the user locking their bike up and the bike thief we were trying to thwart. The unique non-circular cross-section of the lock shackle was a solution that prevents bike thieves from being able to cut a single side and using leverage to twist the lock off, the most common way to defeat a bike lock.

Features like the sliding dust cover, TPR shackle cover, and rounded crossbar junction ensured the lock was durable yet gentle on bike frames. While considered details like sculpting in uniquely taller shoulders in the crossbar cover ensured the lock didn’t rattle when carried on a bike.
