# Musical Security Pieces Music Lock by Hao Hua is Inspired by the Piano By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-lock References: [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/6FEKG6) & [linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/pub/hao-hua/a/876/b98) Lock design isn’t something that is often improved upon, but designer Hao Hua has made quite a leap with his Music Lock. The lock is based on the idea of a piano. In order to open the Music Lock, the owner can input a favorite short piece of music. Aside from the coolness factor of setting a lock based on a song, the Music Lock has the added bonus of looking really awesome. Whatever you want to lock up with, this better be just as cool. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Musical Security:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation by integrating music into security devices. - **Innovative Lock Design:** Lock design can be improved upon by incorporating creative ideas from other industries, such as music. - **Personalized Locking Mechanisms:** Locks can be made more unique and personalized by allowing users to input their favorite music or songs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Security Systems:** The integration of music into security systems can revolutionize the way we protect our belongings and properties. - **Lock Manufacturing:** Lock manufacturers can explore innovative designs inspired by other industries, like music, to differentiate their products. - **Smart Home Technology:** Smart home devices can incorporate personalized locking mechanisms, like the Music Lock, to enhance security and user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-own-music.md) - [Hexagonal Music Composition Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-composition-keyboard.md) - [Sculptural Art Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-and-stone-piano-v2.md) - [Digital HD Display Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozart-console-piano.md) - [Coffee Ground-Made Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowie.md) - [Alarm-Equipped Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antitheft-laptop-device.md) - [Tubular Handle Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-styla.md) - [Coffee Ground Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-music-box.md) - [Smart Lock Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robern-iq-digital-lock-box.md)
