Post-Test Inspection and Conclusion

What happens here

After the impact testing is complete, remove the trailer hitch lock from the trailer. Conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the lock. Check for any cracks, dents, deformation, or other signs of structural compromise that might indicate a weakness. In this demonstration, the Ballard Ox Lock showed no significant damage and remained functional, indicating high durability. Conclude by summarizing the lock's performance, highlighting its ability to withstand significant physical attack while effectively sounding its alarm. Note that Ballard offers both coupler locks and padlock versions with integrated alarms. For more information or to purchase, visit Ballard-inc.com.

Goal: Assess the lock's integrity after testing and summarize its effectiveness as a security device.
