DFLEKT
Keyless Entry Protection
CONSUMER PRODUCT DESIGN
NEW PRODUCT INNOVATION
DFLEKT was invented to prevent a growing problem with thieves intercepting signals from keyless car remotes. The design creates a sleek home key box to block the key emitting a signal. This innovative idea was fast tracked through to a design ready for manufacture, leading to being a police-endorsed product.
PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
The self-close lid and careful attention to detail to block the key's wireless signal entirely using overlapping parts, created a patentable design. Prototyping focused on both the effectiveness of the design but also the appearance and material choice.
DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE
The DFLEKT prototype has been 3rd party tested by an approved UK Accreditation Service (UKAS) business as well as gaining approval from Secured By Design. It is now Police-endorsed and is recommended by them as an approved crime prevention product.
