This bachelor’s degree project that includes 15 credits at Mälardalens University has been carried out at 50% for 20 weeks, spring semester 2023.The locking principle between door and frame has for a long time been unchanged. The report describes the workflow during the project where the goal is to generate innovative concepts on different ways to lock door and frame on behalf of Assa Abloy, the goal is also for the concept to meet the requirements for safetyclass 5.The questions that will be answered in the report are what new innovative possibility to lock a door is there and does the concept fulfill security requirements for Scandinavian locks. First the report presents the theoretical background that contains the theories and tools that form the basis of the work. The work has been carried out with design-product development processes according to methods adapted to the project.The work includes an analysis of the market that together with requirements and target specificationsforms the basis for the concepts generated. The concepts have been generated through internal and joint brainstorming. A total of 48 concepts were generated and screened against three control questions. The remaining 17 concepts were screened in Pugh's matrix resulting in 4 remaining concepts. Physical models were developed for the four concepts and presented at a workshop. 3D printing was used for the conceptmodeling. With a concept selection workshop, a final concept was developed with the help of the participants opinions and ratings of the concept's properties, based on several selected questions.The project resulted in one concept including several components that were prototyped. The components were made with additive manufacturing and then implemented in an already existing lockcase. To demonstrate and visualize their function and to prove the concept itself works. Whether the concept can meet the security requirements for Scandinavian locks cannot be determined as this would require physical tests that would require a prototype made with the final manufacturing method in the final materials. This is also due to the approach of implementing the concept in a lock housing with a lower security class than the target. This is something that is interesting to investigate in future studies since testing is beyond the scope of the delimitations.
