4TRESS - Steering Wheel Lock
4TRESS was a speculative design project undertaken by myself to create a new and innovative car anti theft device. My previous development experience with Stoplock Compact led to 4TRESS being attached tangentially to the rim of the steering wheel. After much development the final version of 4TRESS featured two securing prongs which located either side of a steering wheel spoke.
The product was developed to the manufacturing stage in Taiwan and was then imported and distributed by Sakura Autoparts Ltd. Sakura was then bought by Saxon Industries who then continued to sell the product alongside its Stoplock range.
4TRESS is produced in various colours and in Standard and Professional versions. The Professional version was designed and manufactured to comply with the Thatcham Vehicle Security Category 3 standard.
4TRESS has been sold through many car accessory retailers. A uniquely branded Halfords version was also developed and successfully marketed.
Following on from the success of the original concept several other variations have also been developed and have been sold worldwide
4TRESS is now being sold again due to renewed demand following a well publicised resurgence in vehicle crime.
It is being distributed by Milenco and is also available for purchase through various ebay sellers.
