Working remotely has its obvious advantages—no more time suck commutes, more flexibility, better work-life balance, and a reduced need for an office space. But it does pose a challenge for workers who love to work from ‘anywhere’ including bustling coffee shops and crowded shared workspaces—laptop security.
While it’s easy to leave your office deskto grab lunch, answer nature’s call, or just get some blood pumping—when you’re working from ‘anywhere’ that’s not a liberty you can take.
Why? Well...
What’s worse is that monetary losses aren’t the only thing you need to worry about.
According to CIO:
Most of the laptop thefts happen in public locations, such as airports, cafés, restaurants, and common shared spaces. So, if you’re digging that digital nomad life, or just working from anywhere—securing your laptop is more important than ever.
This is why we created LapLok.
It's the ultimate pocket-sized anti-theft device designed to conveniently secure your laptop any time, any place.
LapLok makes it easy for you to move around while working remotely because you know your device and data aren’t going anywhere—no matter how hard a thief might try.

FAQ
Is LapLok actually a secure anti-theft solution?
The short answer is yes. With our 20+ years of anti-theft & security experience, we would not release a product that would not hold up to the grab & go thief. It’s important to note that EVERY security product can be bypassed with enough time, talent, and tools. We always recommend using common sense when in high risk scenarios, as taking your device with you is always the most secure solution (but not always convenient). We recommend not purchasing LapLok if you do not apply this thinking.
Why did TeckLok create these security products?
Like most inventors, we found ourselves in a position where we wanted to work remotely from shared working spaces, coffee shops, etc. but found ourselves at a crossroad between security & convenience. It was always very secure to take our devices with us when we had to take a call, use the restroom, or jump into a meeting. However, it was extremely inconvenient to shut down and pack up everything, which often resulted in losing our spot. This is how TechLok products were born.
LapLok is a super strong gripping mechanism. Does it damage tables?
We have tested LapLok on dozens of different table types. In normal use, LapLok does not cause any severe table damage as we use a custom, soft but sturdy rubber padding on the foot of the clamp that grips the table.
Does LapLok work with a laptop case?
We would not recommend using LapLok with your laptop case. Based on our internal testing, if a grab & go thief were to grab your laptop off the table and it was attached to your case, the case would quickly snap off & break.
Does LapLok work with tablets?
Yes, it does. This is a great product to use in a trade show environment or station, where you want people to fill out information on a tablet but don’t want to constantly monitor these tablets to prevent device theft.
Do you offer business or school volume discounts?
Yes, we do. With the early bird Indiegogo price plus our bulk discount, you can get LapLok for the lowest price it will ever be offered. Contact Ryan@LapLok.com for a customized order.
I would like to be a reseller or distributor for TechLok Solutions, LLC products. How do I become a certified partner?
We would be happy to have these discussions as we are expanding our distribution network. Contact Ryan@LapLok.com for more information.
What’s the size & weight of LapLok?
LapLok is slightly bigger than a full sized smart phone and weighs just under 1 lb. Part of our innovative design was to make something strong but also small & convenient. Compact size combined with strength and portability were paramount design criteria.
What is the battery life of LapLok?
With normal usage of 2-3 times per week we estimate a 3-year battery life. LapLok includes standard button sized (is there an actual size AA)?** lithium batteries.
Where is TechLok located and where are products manufactured?
We are located just outside of Detroit in Royal Oak, MI. The founders have been able to keep all design, engineering, legal, and fulfillment services located in Michigan. After an exhaustive US search & attempt to build in the US, we partnered with a contract manufacturer in India.
What is your return & warranty policy?
We offer 30 day return policy, no questions asked. If you are unhappy with your product, simply fill out the return form which can be found at this link (here). We offer a 1-year limited warranty for any product malfunction. It’s important to note, like all consumer electronic products (i.e. smart phones), we are not responsible if the user is negligent during usage (water damage, drops from high distance, etc.)
What if I forgot my unique pin code?
We require all users to register their pin on our website on this page (link). We can then automatically resend your pin code. However, we suggest you store your Pin on your smart phone with your other important passwords. If you do not register, we have no other way to remind you of this code. You can also contact the company for advice and assistance in removing the device manually.
Can I adjust the volume on my alarm?
Yes!
Does LapLok work with my existing cable lock?
Yes, we can leverage your existing cable lock by attaching it to your laptop port to LapLok. This is an innovative way to put “smart” technology to an old solution to protect laptops. Remember, only about 50% of laptops currently sold on the market have a locking slot so there is no alternative option than LapLok if you want device security but do not have a locking slot port.
What if my laptop gets stolen using LapLok?
After many hours of research and legal discussions, we do not have any extended warranty that can provide a money back guarantee on the theft of your device. In fact, no other laptop anti-theft solution does, as everything can be bypassed with enough time, tools, and talent. LapLok was built on the principles of practicality and common sense which should be applied when using our products. It’s also important to note that you must use LapLok correctly to realize it’s anti-theft capabilities.
