What is LockGuard?
Living in a dorm my freshman year, I realized how completely overlooked students and renters are when it comes to home security. LockGuard is our answer: a portable, lease-friendly door security device for dorms, apartments, and travel that installs in minutes with tool-free, housing-compliant mounting. It detects unauthorized entry, triggers an instant on-device alarm, and maintains alerts with cellular fallback if Wi-Fi drops. A keypad fail-safe lets you arm/disarm without your phone, reminders when you leave your room unsecured, and access control with roommates and trusted individuals.
Product Launch!
Our Kickstarter is now live—marking the official launch of LockGuard. If you’re a parent with a college student, a renter, or a frequent traveler, this is your moment. Check it out, share it with someone who needs security for their residence and consider backing if it resonates. If you’re a property manager or involved with campus housing, we’d love to talk about offerings for your tenants.
Vision: Give viable security solutions to overlooked groups—students in dorms, renters with strict leases, roommates, subletters, and individuals constantly traveling. As we exit presale, we’ll move from campaign backers to our direct online store and run placements with campus bookstores and housing departments. And we’re not stopping here—we want to keep pushing and shipping new fixes in the smart home space so overlooked groups get real options.
