Students keep their phone in a lockable pouch that clicks shut. It only opens at a wall mounted unlocking station or with a staff release tool. No subscriptions, software or contracts.
Try PhoneLock before you roll it out: both versions of the Secure pouch and both ways to unlock them.
A mechanical lock that clicks shut instantly and only opens at a wall mounted station or with a staff release tool.
For medical, accessibility or wellbeing arrangements where faster, approved access may be needed during the day.
A fixed unlocking point for classrooms, reception, student services or exits.
A handheld tool so authorised staff can open any pouch within seconds.
Students place their phone in the pouch and press the connector into the lock. The pouch stays with the student and opens only with an unlocking station or release tool.
A fixed unlocking point for classrooms, reception, student services or exits.
A handheld tool so authorised staff can open any pouch within seconds.
Lockers need extra infrastructure, can cause bottlenecks between classes and may not stop hotspotting. Phones kept “off and away” in bags rely on students following the policy, which is hard to enforce consistently. iArmour PhoneLock is a clear, low conflict way to keep phones inaccessible, without collecting devices or managing locker access.
No dashboard, charging, IT configuration or complicated training. Schools simply decide when pouches are secured, where they are opened and which staff hold the release tools.
Both versions are available. Schools dealing with hotspotting, tethering or workarounds using other connected devices generally choose Signal Blocking. Schools that only need phones secured and out of students’ hands can choose Non Signal Blocking.
That’s up to the school. Students can carry their secured pouch all day, or pouches can be stored in bags, lockers or another designated spot. Either way, the phone stays inaccessible until it is opened in line with the school’s policy.
No. Schools buy and own the pouches and unlocking units, with no subscriptions, software fees or fixed contracts. Extra pouches, release tools or unlocking stations can be reordered at any time.
Schools handle emergencies through their existing communication systems, not student phones. If needed, staff can unlock phones within seconds using a Portable Release Tool or Wall Mounted Unlocking Station.
A school phone pouch keeps each student’s phone with them but out of use. PhoneLock pouches lock shut, so students can’t open them during the day, and staff decide where and when they’re unlocked. It helps schools put a phone policy into practice without collecting devices or managing lockers.
Most schools combine PhoneLock Secure pouches for all students with a few PhoneLock Access pouches for approved arrangements, wall mounted unlocking stations at exits and release tools for nominated staff. Not sure where to start? Try the PhoneLock Sample Pack first.
