How PhoneLock works
A simple three-step process, plus practical guidance for a smooth rollout.
Arrive & insert
As students arrive, they place their phone into their assigned PhoneLock pouch.
Lock & focus
They close and secure the pouch with the tamper-evident magnetic lock, keeping it on them all day.
Tap & retrieve
On leaving, they tap the pouch on the unlocking station to retrieve their phone in seconds.
