Quad Lock makes smartphone mounting systems for active lifestyles. They sell mounts, cases, and accessories that securely attach phones to bikes, cars, and other surfaces, primarily through a direct-to-consumer online store and select retailers. How it works: their mounts use a patented dual-stage locking mechanism to securely hold devices; users attach their phone by pairing a case with a mounting base and twist-lock or snap-fit action for quick, secure mounting during cycling, motorcycling, driving, or running. What sets Quad Lock apart: a patented dual-stage lock that remains secure in demanding conditions, a versatile ecosystem that fits multiple activities, and a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction with quality products and after-sales support. The goal is to provide reliable, easy-to-use mounting solutions for active people worldwide, enabling safe, accessible access to phones during various activities.
