FAQs
What is Phone Locker®?
Phone Locker® provides secure, lockable phone pouches that help create phone-free environments in schools, workplaces, events, and hospitality settings.
How does Phone Locker® work?
Users place their phone into a secure pouch, which is locked using a simple one-tap system. Phones remain with the user but cannot be accessed until unlocked by authorised staff.
The lockable phone pouch can be used in a few simple steps.
a. Insert your phone into the pouch.
b. Lock the phone inside, by pressing the locking mechanism closed.
c. Unlock the phone using a central unlocking magnet.
Is Phone Locker® easy to implement?
Yes. Phone Locker® is designed to be quick and simple to roll out. We also provide free implementation support, including planning advice, staff guidance, and communication templates.
Do you offer trials or pilots?
Yes, we can support pilot programmes or small initial orders to help organisations test the solution before wider rollout.
What types of pouches do you offer?
We offer durable, multi-use lockable pouches, with standard and signal-blocking options available depending on your needs.
Are magnetic bases included?
Yes, 1 magnetic base is included for every 100 phone pouch units purchased.
What does signal blocking mean?
Signal-blocking pouches prevent phones from sending or receiving signals while locked, providing additional security for exams, confidential meetings, and sensitive environments.
Are the pouches comfortable to carry?
Yes. The pouches are lightweight, discreet, and designed to be worn or carried comfortably throughout the day.
How durable are the pouches?
Phone Locker® pouches are built for repeated daily use using long-life materials and reinforced construction, making them suitable for high-volume environments.
What is the warranty?
The pouch includes a 1 year warranty.

Do you supply directly?
Yes. Phone Locker® is both the manufacturer and supplier, allowing us to control quality, pricing, and delivery timelines.
Where do you deliver?
We operate in over 30 countries, working directly with customers and through trusted distributors where local support is required.
What support do you offer after purchase?
We provide ongoing support, with localised issue resolution within a week, free of charge.
How will the pouch be implemented?
Each environment will be different depending on the needs of the users.
For example, in schools, students may be instructed to have their phones inside during school hours. If they have an emergency, can use the school office to contact their families.
In an office environment, it could be phones are locked once entering a meeting room, or certain zone, and removed once they leave the area.
At concerts or conferences, could be that attendees insert the phone in the pouch when entering, and remove when leaving the venue.
Are Phone Locker® pouches suitable for schools?
Absolutely. Phone Locker® is widely used in secondary schools, colleges, and universities to support behaviour, safeguarding, exam integrity, and digital wellbeing.
