If your everyday carry is valuable to you, do yourself a favour and secure those pockets with PocketLock.
PocketLocks allow me to wear my trackies again, and my valuables do not fall out of the pockets. They have also saved me time and money by preventing me from having to replace my mobile phone, keys, electronic fobs, wallet, and multiple cards.
PocketLock is easy to apply, and securely fastens pockets, preventing valuables from falling out, saving time and money on lost items.
My favourite pair of trackies finally got too many holes in them to be wearable in public ever again. So off I popped to the shops to purchase another pair and was pleasantly surprised when the exact same style was still being sold 5 years later. I bought myself 2 pairs since I loved them so much, took them home and cut the tags off, washed them before wearing, and put them in my wardrobe.
When it was next cool enough to wear them, I pulled them out and filled the pockets with the same keys, wallet, and phone. After driving with them on, this is when I realised they weren't quite the same pants. I lost my phone and my wallet numerous times whilst wearing these trackies, which is a problem I'd never had with the previous pair. Losing stuff is normal, you're thinking. Not for me. I have many unideal traits, but losing my possessions is not one of them.
I couldn't work out why I was having this problem until I compared the 2 pairs of pants. Yes, they are the same style (I compared the product code of the old trackies to the new trackies), however, the manufacturer (a top 3 global sporting brand) had now cheaped out on the pockets, both in the size of the pockets and the quality of the material. The pockets on the old ones were deeper and made out of the same cotton fleece material as the rest of the pants. The new ones had shallower, shorter pockets and were made out of a shiny polyester material - the root cause of my lost possessions.
I resigned myself to the fact that I now had two pairs of trackies worth $180 AUD that would sit unused in my wardrobe. That was until I randomly stumbled across PocketLock on Kickstarter. What have I got to lose, I thought, so I backed the campaign and received my PocketLocks.
PocketLock has uploaded a fantastic instruction video online that is at a relaxed pace, showing you step by step how to attach the PocketLocks, which made it very easy for me to follow. I attached the PocketLocks to the trackies, and even with the shiny, slippery polyester pocket material, they adhered without issue and have survived many cycles through the washing machine. They are not noticeable through the fabric, and the magnet stays tightly closed. I highly recommend PocketLock, it is an amazing product!
The pocket locks were very easy to attach on my polyester basketball sweatpants. You just put the pockets of the pants inside out and attach the pocket locks to each side of the pocket flap so they line up with each other. Now I can hold my wallet and car keys knowing they are secure and won't fall out anymore. I washed them with normal setting and cold water but did not put them in the dryer. They still work perfectly! Going to put them on my mesh shorts next.
I use it on my favorite hiking pants! I worry when hiking that I’ll lose something important. Not any more!
I love it. Is the best solution, I will never lose something in my pockets again. It's perfect
I've attached them to my casual around-the-house sort of pajama pants. Only the right pocket of 2 pair. My cell phone was forever falling out of my pocket and to the floor whenever I bent down. The PocketLocks are working perfectly. I've also washed them a few times now - in a mesh bag, then hang dry. They are absolutely fine. I have 2 more pairs of pants, so I need 2 more PocketLocks to save my phone.
I feel the magnets are just the right strength. The concept and the product are much needed in this world.
Thank you.
I’m disabled in a power chair a lot and wear a lot of baggy pants , since I’m sitting most of the time things just kept falling out. I came to the point where I didn’t use them much. I bought a 10 pack or maybe it was an 8 pack of Pocket Locks, anyway I’ve installed a set on 3 pairs of my daily wearing trousers. They are amazing I never worry about loosing my wallet anymore. I used the sticky tape to position them, but then I used the extra fabric like material around the plastic to sew with thread and needle them by hand permanent like. I wish that outside fabric part was a bit larger, and the magnets to be smaller in a perfect world. I have showed my pocket locks off to other people everyone thinks they’re cool but to me they really are life changing. Thank you for making such a great product.
Was much easier to attach than l had thought. I used it on pants with pockets that stuck out, so that problems was solved. They close with cool action and stop things falling out.
Down side is the magnets although thin are heavy, and it does add a little bulk to the pockets, but not too much.
Very easy to attach. Constantly loosing items from my pants' pockets. Not suitable for jeans, in my opinion.
Attachment process is really good - I did it on tracksuit pants that were notoriously dropping everything after sitting. After applying the stuff in the pocket stays in the pocket regardless of what I do.
I actually attached it to a Quikflip Hero Hoodie Classic's open pocket because the opening faces down when the jacket is worn. It was easy to attach and works great! Now I can have items in the pocket regardless if I'm wearing it in its backpack or hoodie configuration. I really think there's an opportunity for you to partner with them! Here's a link to the hoodie, for reference: https://www.quikflipapparel.com/collections/full-zip-hoodies/products/hero-hoodie-classic
I’ve put Pocketlocks into 3 pairs of long pants and 1 pair of shorts. I prefer having a more secure pocket in which I keep my wallet. I believe that more manufacturers should make pants with secure pockets, especially those that they refer to as “travel” pants. Until that happens, I will continue to use PocketLock!
Need to be concentrated to place the first pocket lock. Once well understood, pretty simple.
Already washed up, apparently no problem!
I am a doctor and use them for my scrub pants. They work perfectly and now i don't worry about loosing my phone during work
